Paris plot to drop anti British leaflets over London
French police turned over to prosecutors their observations about a scheme involving American rabbi Baruch Korff and two others to drop 10,000 Jewish propaganda leaflets from an airplane over London. Korff, 33, cochair of the American Political Action Committee for Palestine, was seized at Toussus le Noble airport near Versailles. Also jailed were Reginald Gilbert, 24, and Judith Rosenberger, 23. They face an examining magistrate in Paris Thursday. A round-up of Stern Gang suspects yielded explosive-making materials and a Paris list of Stern Gang members. Leaflets signed Fighters of Freedom for Israel warned of reprisals for British actions toward refugees aboard Exodus 1947. Korff had previously spoken of a parachute invasion of Palestine from France by Jewish refugees and offered to go himself if visa were denied.
