French welfare organisations have continued to feed the 4400 Jewish refugees in the three British, ships near Marseilles as British officials have renewed their assurances that food distribution would remain under French supervision. , ~ , A British spokesman explained that Colonel M. I. Gregson had ordered a representative of a French' relief organisation to leave the ships ‘'because he brought people aboard to urge the pasengers to continue their refusal to disembark.” A French policeman was ordered off for the same reason. The Runnymede Park. Ocean Vigoui and Empire Rival, which have been lying for the past two weeks off Port de Bouc, near Marseilles, will leave on Tuesday, says the Daily Mail.
