NEW YORK, (JTA)—Assistance in finding new homes
for an estimated 500,00 Jewish displaced persons in Europe
is sought in a joint memorandum submitted to the UNRRA
Council, meeting in Atlantic City, by the World Jewish
Congress, the American Jewish Congress and the Board of
Deputies of British Jews.

CLEVELAND.—Maj. Gen. William J. Donovan, former
chief of the Office of Strategic Services, and foremost Am-
erican. soldier and diplomat, declared on Sunday at the of-
ficial opening in the midwest area $100,000,000 United Jewish

The memorandum asks for rep-
resentation in the administration
of UNRRA and for its aid in
gaining the cooperation of the
United Nations Organization and
the Intergovernmental Commit-
tee on Refugees.
Far From Solution
While acknowledging the
achievements of UNRRA for the
DP's in the camps in Germany,
Austria and Italy, the memoran-
dum asserts that "the most press-
ing problems confronting the
Jewish displaced persons are still
far from solution."
Inasmuch as "a vast majority"
of the 500,000 Jewish displaced
persons in Europe prefer, accord-
ing to the memorandum, to go
to Palestine, - UNRRA is re-
quested "to enlist the coopera-
tion of the Mandatory Power
whose assistance is critical" in
the resettlement problem.
Specific suggestions are made
with regard to the rehabilitation,
education, -health and care of the
Jewish displaced persons in the
camps in Germany, Austria and
Italy.
Six Recommendations
Among these recommendations
are:
1. Occupational therapy for
those in danger of demoralization
because of lack of opportunity to
apply themselves usefully and
productively.
2. Vocational training and

educational facilities for the.
others.
3. Land grants for the estab-
lishment of production and agri-
cultural projects with wages paid
in "negotiable currency" to the
workers.
4. All-Jewish hospitals, inas-
much as "most of the patients
dread ministrations by German
`scientists'."
5. Employment of Jewish
DP's on UNRRA staff supervising
recreational activities.
6. Ease strictures in ship-
ments of supplies to the 'camp
residents.
Country of Own Choosing
A recommendation that UNR-
RA seek an ultimate solution to
the problems of displaced Jews
by supporting their demands to
emigrate to a country of their
own choosing has been made to
the American representatives del-

tour of the American zones of

and that migration of those who
want to go to other countries be
facilitated.
They also asked for a greater

Distribution Committee and other
