Otherwise, the "freed" women would have starved. Leon Gould, writing in PM, from Piene, in Central Germany on June 2, describes the menu for displaced persons in that area's camps as follows: break- fast, a cup of coffee, lunch, a thin soup of vegetable greens, dinner, milksoup; one loaf of bread per day for 8 men; milk for children, but in ever dimin- ishing quantities. When inter- viewed, Lt. A. Cantreuil showed him the ration allowance for dis- placed persons which had been prepared by SIIAEF. It looked nice on paper: meat fats, bread, sugar, marmalade, cheese, coffee, milk, eggs. Gould says the lieu- tenant was surprised to learn what the displaced persons were actually getting. Then Cantreuil explained that the burgomeister (mayor) of the town must fur- nish the food, which is "donated" according to ration requirements by German civilians. "Obviously," adds Gould, "the 'donation' sys- tem isn't working." Jewish women, numbering 1,- 070 between 15 and 30 years old, were reported still in Camp Lin- gen, near Wilhelmshaven, and in desperate need of food and clo- thing. Every day brings reports of new camps with thousands of Jewish slave workers being "dis- covered." Said one Jewish survivor of a German concentration c a m p: "The Germans murdered us and now our remaining will power and faith in life are being murdered as we are not allowed to go to Palestine." Harry Greenstein, former dep- uty director of the Welfare Di- Vision of UNRRA, who recently returned from Europe and Pales- tine, said: "The Jews of Europe have been liberated, but they have no sense of freedom and no seise of security." Clarence B. Odeall, head of the population section of the U. S. State Department, and Robert H. Biligmeir, population analyst, rec- ognized, in the current State De- partment Bulletin, that the prob- lem of displaced Jews while only a small part of the displaced European nationals is, neverthe- less, "a matter of international importance and concern." An American eyewitness in Germany records an incident which ocurred in Luebeck toward the end of May, and which makes clear the reasons for the em- phatic desire of most Polish Jews not to be repatriated. Some Poles, Jews and non-Jews, were evacu- ated by the military government from a concentration camp to former marine barracks in Lue- beck. There, the gentile inmates "outdid their own suppressors in inhumanity against their Jewish landsleute," the observer writes. "The fact that even the horrors suffered together in concentra- tion camps have not been able to remove the antagonism be- tween the . . . racial groups is one of the most unpleasant ex- periences in this human tragedy," he adds. Capt. Leon Peretz, Jew- ish chaplain in the Polish Army, who was liberated from a camp in Bavaria by American troops, charged that anti-Semitic Polish students had cooperated with the Germans during the occupation and had delivered many Jews to the Gestapo. Symptomatic of the despera- tion of Jewish survivors in Ger- many is the unconfirmed report that 300 of them in Buchenwald became converted because they saw their Christian neighbors be- ing released through the efforts of non-Jewish and non-sectarian agencies, while they waited in vain for assistance. The chief obstacle in the way of the release of Jews from the barracks and concentration areas is that they have no place to go, and few officers to take care of their needs. Allied military au- thorities have announced that displaced Jews will not be com- pelled to return to Poland, Czech- oslovakia, Austria and Hungary, Rosh Hashonah Greetings Monica Plumbing t Heating Co.

An advisory and relief office for Jews whose status was ef- fected by the Nuremburg laws has been established in Munich. Abolition of these laws was an- nounced immediately upon Allied occupation. A provisional community coun- cil has been set up for the 6,000 Jews already in Berlin. An on- the-spot correspondent gives his impressions on meeting some of these Jews on Berlin's famous Kurfuerstendamm. Most of them were married to non-Jews, or had one "aryan" parent; some had friends who had risked their lives to prevent their falling into Nazi clutches. In a small an- tique shop on the thoroughfare, the newspaperman found and purchased a brass menorah, prob- ably stolen from a Jewish family. Various German municipalities have broadcast their intention to organize convoys to bring back the Jews from Theresienstadt, where many Jews from Germany were quartered. But the bulk of the Jews who formerly lived in Germany have no desire again to become the stepchildren of any successor to the Third Reich. Although some attempts have been made to counteract the ef- fects of Hitlerite indoctrination, the German population remains sullen and apathetic. Residents of Bad Nauheim who participated in looting the city's synagogue have been compelled by their mayor to contribute to its reconstruc- tion.

"Jews stirred up the war" was the answer giv- en to American interviewers by half a dozen German boys be- tween the ages of 14 and 17, when they were questioned on a street in a central German town. RYAN COAL COMPANY Ten J.D.C. relief teams have been organized with their first care for thousands of children objective to provide shelter and liberated from concentration camps and found wandering alone in German cities. Dr. Joseph Schwartz, European director of the Committee, who has just re- turned from the field stated that agreements had been reached with the governments of France, Switzerland and England to ad- mit children for temporary care. France has already accepted 515 boys and 20 girls from Buchen- wald and will take another 1,000. Switzerland will receive 2,000 and England 1,000. It is hoped that Sweden may open its doors to some of the children.
