.a partner to the relief and reconstruction activities in behalf of
the survivors. It's a huge undertaking.
YOU may be one of those who has been missed in the campaign
during the last few weeks. Don't use the fact that no one has called
on you as an excuse to evade your responsibility—that will be a poor
alibi to your own conscience.
If you have not yet contributed, do so NOW. Don't wait to be
ASKED. Call the Allied Jewish Campaign office, CO. 1600, and
contribute your sham to the $2,000,000 drive.

A million and a quarter surviving Jews in Europe look to
YOU, .as a member of the strongest Jewish community in history,
to help them rebuild their lives --and to provide them with the bare
necessities which will maintain their existence as human beings.

Two European Families En Route

Included in the first boatload of immigrants to arrive
from Germany since 1939 are two families destined to De-
troit and one to Pontiac. This is the first transport to come
under the program announced last December by President
Truman, to facilitate the immigration of displaced persons in
the American occupation zones in Germany and Austria,

within the quota laws.

Military government officials Buster Mandell, Killed
give consideration to applicants
in the following order of priority. In Raid over Germany

1. Tose entitled to preference quota
(husbands and parents of American
citizens. wives and unmarried minor
children of aliens lawfully 'admitted
to the U.S.)
2. Orphaned children.
3. Persons who have relatives in the
'U.S. within and including the degree
of first cousin.
4. All other DP's.

Immigration from other coun-
tries is also possible, although
necessarily limited because 90
per cent of the quotas have been
reserved for DPs. The American
consuls in Italy and Poland have
not yet begun to accept applica-
tions because of transportation
difficulties.
National agencies operating in
the field of migration are the Na-
tional Refugee Service, Council
of Jewish Women and HIAS. The
first two work with the European
officers, of the Joint Distribution
Committee, while HIAS has of-
fices in several - European cities.
Agencies in Detroit
In Detroit the agencies offering
counsel and service in this field
are the Jewish Social Service
Bureau and Resettlement Service.
In recent months literally hun-
dreds of Detroiters have sought
the help of those agencies with
the problems of their surviving
relatives and friends in Europe.
The JSSB and Resettlement
Service offer the following serv-
ices:

1. Advice about methods of com-
municating with civilians in Europe.
Mail service is now possible to every
country in Europe through regular
postal channels, although mail to Ger-
many and Austria is restricted to one .
ounce. Air mail, registered mail and
parcel post also are possible except
to Austria, Germany, Bulgaria and
Romania.
2. Advice about sending assistance.
Postal money orders are still unavail-
able for most countries in Europe. The
American Express Co. and banks, how-
ever, accept funds for transmission to
most countries payable in local cur-
rencies. Hies accepts orders for Ro-
mania at a favorable exchange rate
and to Shanghai payable in American
dollars. -Gift packages of food and
clothing may be sent through parcel
post to all countries except Austria,
Germany, Bulgaria, Romania and Man-
churia. For some countries fumigation
is required if used clothing is sent..
3. Location service. Applications are
accepted for location of persons not
heard from since the outbreak of
the war. These are filed on special
forms and transmitted, via the Na-
tional Refugee Service, to the Central
Location Index in New .York, where
the name is registered and checked
against lists of survivors' coming in
from a large variety of sources.
4: Search cases... These , are inquiries
from abroad, sent directly or through
NRS and HIAS, by persons attempt-
ing to locate relatives in Detroit. In
many cases exact addresses are un-
available. and great ingenuity must
frequently be 'exercised to. find the
right person.
2. Migration service. 'Bringing peo-
ple over. as immigrants is a technical
and complicated procedure based on
Federal legislation, State Department
regulations and specific requirements
by various consulates. There are fre-
quent changes in the regulations and
requirements, of which the Detroit
agencies are kept informed by the
NRS. The affidavits are relatively
simple, but the supporting document-
ary evidence _required to prove the
sponsor's financial ability to keep the
immigrant from becoming a public
charge, is variable and sometimes
complex and bulky.
