JDC Extends Work To German Camps PARIS (WNS).—Three groups of JDC workers have left for the camps at Bergen-Belsen and Salz- wedel where 3,000 Jewish inter- nees are concentrated. Their de- parture followed the receipt of official permission from the army to extend their work into Ger- many. It is reported that the Jewish Agency for Palestine is also ne- gotiating with the United Na- tions Relief and Rehabilitation Agency concerning the rendering of assistance to Jews in concen- tration camps and the survivors of shattered Jewish communities in Europe. The officials of the Jewish Agency are also pressing for more immigration certificates to secure the admittance of Jews released from Buchenwald, Da- chau, Theresienstadt and other camps, most of whom have no place to go. Discussing the re- cent allotment by the Palestine Government of 3,000 visas— which leaves only 1,000 remain- ing under the White Paper quo- ta—Mr. Dobkin said: "We never knew such pain as in distributing these certificates. We allotted 700 to rescue 31,000 refugees in Switzerland; for Italy, 140 were allotted to 1,000 persons clamoring for admission, including 300 orphans; to Bel- gium and Holland, 400 were al- lotted to save 48,000 people, among whom there are 2,500 Belgian orphans. More than 70,000 Jews were found in the concentration camps in Germany and the most tragic problem is that of those who are stateless and face new intern- ment, and whose only demand and hope is immigration to Pal- estine."

By choosing the one near your Czechs to Return Property to Jews PRAGUE (WNS). — President Eduard Benes has issued a de- cree invalidating all Nazi-forced sales of property. Jewish circles here believe that the invalidation order foreshad- ows the return of Jewish prop- erty to the rightful owners. These circles also pointed out that very few Jewish survivors remain to claim the property. A high official here declared that the Czechoslovakian govern- ment is taking a serious view of the anti-Jewish sentiments exist- ing in Slovakia and that meas- ures will be taken by govern- ment officials to meet the situa- tions. These sources also dis- closed that factories which had been sequestered from Jews would be administered by the state and returned to the lawful owner when proper proof of own- ership is submitted. State Department Bulletin Deals With Displaced Jews WASHINGTON (WNS).-0ffi- cial recognition of the problem of the displaced Jews of Europe is taken in the current issue of the State Department Bulletin. The State Department organ says that while the Jewish part of the problem is relatively small as compared to the vaster dis- placed European population, it nevertheless is "a matter of in- ternational importance and con- cern." Despite the end of Nazi reli- gious and racial persecutions in Germany, as a result of its de- feat by the Allies, large numbers of Jews exiled from the Reich will not want to return there, says the article. They point out that no relia- ble data is available on the num- ber of Jews killed by the Nazis since 1939 and little is known concerning how many fled or were transported or placed in concentration camps.
