Wexler, president of B'nai B'rith charged here this week that Egypt had refused to allow the International Red Cross to investigate the situation of Egyptian Jews of whom an estimated .'150 to 400 male adults were jailed in Cairo and Alexandria when fighting broke out on June 5. Speaking at the annual convention of B'nai B'rith District 7, Dr. Wexler also charged that more than 50 Syrian-Jews were slain in mob riots following the start of the June war. He said that Syria's 4,000 Jews had been subjected over the past four years to night arrests and other harassments and that their freedom to travel to earn a living had been severely restricted. He charged that similar restrictions had been imposed on the 2,000 Jews still living in Iraq. He told the delegates that B'nai B'rith had appealed to the State Department to investigate and to "do whatever is posBible" to ameliorate the situation of Jews in Arab countries who have suffered widespread injuries and death ami destruction of property in connection with Hie wjr,
