that the general European press

to note that the second Jewish

Amnesty For
Political Prisoners

TEL AVN, (JTA) The Israeli
State Council this week approx
ed a proposal providing for a
general amnesty for all political
prisoners.
Earlier, Nathan Friedman-Yel-
lin, Stern Group leader, and his
aide, M. Schulevitz, who have
been standing trial in the Acre
military court for the past five
months on charges of conducting
terrorist activities in the Jewish
state, were sentenced to eight
and five-year prison sentences,
respectively.

AS the party began boarding
trucks for the trip to the Fama-
gusta docks, British soldiers and
their erstwhile prisoners en-
braced, pounded each other on
the shoulders and posed for
snapshots arm-in-arm. AS the
truck convoy started the troops
waved farewell enthusiastically
and shouted: "Shalom." Even
the merchants in the area sur
rounding the camp, who will SUI
fer heavy financial losses with
the departure of the refugees,
expressed happiness that the
Jews were at last "going home"
Similar scenes took place on
the dock. AS the Atzmauth eased
away from the pier the passeng-
ers shouted and waved to the
Greeks, while the hundred of is
landers responded by cheering.
Thus ended the 29-month history
of the British detention camps on
Cyprus. In all, some 10,280 Jews
left Cyprus since the reversal of
the detention policy.
The Cpyriot press headlined
the announcement of the Israeli
Government that it was contrib
uting $4,000 for the erection of
youth center at Famagusta in
grateful appreciation of the
friendly attitude displayed by
the local population toward the
detainees. Acknowledging the
gift, Famagusta's mayor declared
that his people had always SYM
pathized with the Jewish cause.
Earlier, an Israeli camp leader
claimed that in 30 months 1909
internees had escaped from the
Caraolos and Xylotymbou camps
on Cyprus and reached Palestine.
British military and civil auth
critics said that although no Of
fetal figures were available,
there appeared to be consider

numbers of incoming and out
going Jews on Cyprus. 1t had
been impossible to hold a proper
roll-call in the camps since they
were opened in 1916, they added.
