Friday, May 17, 1946 THE JEWISH NEWS Dear Reader: Page Seven .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. Thousands of Detroit Jews are yet to be reached by the great Allied Jewish Campaign in the plan to make every American Jew WORK ARDENTLY FOR AND GIVE GENEROUSLY TO THE DETROIT $2,000,000 ALLIED JEWISH CAMPAIGN Two European Families En Route Reception to Open To Detroit Under Truman's Directive Center Art Exhibit Included in the first boatload of immigrants to arrive from Germany since 1939 are two families destined to De- troit and one to Pontiac.

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.
