Zone Came Only After Truman Sent Details of His Survey to Gen. Eisenhower PHILADELPHIA, (JTA)—Earl G. Harrison U. S. repre- sentative on the Inter-governmental Committee for Refugees, who was sent by President Truman to Europe to study the condition and needs of displaced persons, especially Jews, in Germany and Austria, issued a statement here replying to Gen.

Eisenhower's report is definitely misleading. He states that at the time of my report there were 'perhaps 1,000 Jews still in their former con- centration camps'. What differ- ence does it make whether they were in their former concentra- tion camps if they are continued in camps. Shifting' them from one camp to another, while hav- ing a slight psychological ad- vantage, was scarcely liberation. Gen. Eisenhower may be dif- ferentiating between the more notorious concentration c amps and other camps in which slave laborers were kept by the Ger- mans. To me they are all camps DR.

The fund was turned over to Jacob Epel of Detroit. Mr. Chernoff, although a non- I.

JSSB Seeks to Locate Europeans' Relatives After six years in a German concentration camp, Otto Tan- cous, 18, was brought to New York by American soldiers en- route to Buffalo, where his moth- er last lived. The boy, a native of Buffalo, is being care for in New York by the HIAS until the relatives are located. Otto has an uncle, Gustave Tancous, liv- ing in Detroit, but his exact whereabouts are unknown. Other relatives whom the JSSB is trying to locate are Jewish Vocational Service Seeks Workers for All Types of Jobs The Jewish Vocational Service reports varied recniests from em- ployers for all types of workers at every level of skill and ex- perience, from beginners to the most advanced.
