cation has moved 10000 refugees
out of Austria. but only 5000
have left the continent.
I'VE can move 5000 a day."
Mr.. Jacobsen said, but we can't
do it Indefinitely. It depends on
what the countries are ready to
receive.
The committee has received
Ifirm offers of asylum for some
$4,000. including 21,5OO for the
United States. Several countries.
including Britain and France,
have set no numerical limit.
The committee said 20 planes
would start airlifting 1900 a day
next week to Germany, Sweden,

countries. In addition many
hundreds will leave Austria by
train and bus.
Refugees are still coming in

Harold H. Tittmann. Ameri-

operation.
He said he had not heard of
