NEW YORK.

-IRSCH TEPER, the Tribunal tailor, has started a fresh fight in the New York courts to get off Ellis Isinnd. Now I know why he is putting up such

u fight.

At the invitation of the American Government I spent some hours with Teper and all the Displaced Persons, murderers, ex-Stormtroopers, and unfortunates with whom he has spent the past six months.

And as the first foreign reporter allowed to visit America's notorious point of no return I was heartily thankful that I was linally allowed to leave it.

Even inside, the atmosphere was kindly, in spite of endless corridors of white tile, of padlocked gates, of barred windows, and of the emptiness of the little room where the lucky ones can buy a railway ticket to anywhere- in their promised land.
