One surprising conclusion is
that the low index of prejudice
among college students is not the
result of attending college for a
four-year period. Tests made on
SO American campuses in the first
weeks of the 1949 fall term show
that the incidence of prejudice is
the same for seniors who already

Harbin DPS
EnrOute Israel

HONG HONG (JTA)-The first
group of Jews from Harbin, Man
churia, en- route to Israel, arrived
here on a specially chartered ship
from Tientsin. All members of
the group are Soviet citizens
Their immigration is sponsored
by the International Refugee Or
ganization and the Joint Distri-
button Committee.
They told newSpapermen that
the Soviet Consulate in Harbin-
not the Chinese Communist auth
orities-has banned all Zionist
activities in the city.
Harbin, once a fourishing CEN
ter of Jewish social life, is now
dead as far as Jewish social ac-
tivities are concerned. The Jew
ish population has been reduced
to 500 families, all of whom are
preparing to leave for Israel.
Their desire to emigrate is inten-
sified by the fear that they may
eventually be forced to return to
the Soviet Union.
