Dr. Bernard Speaks
At State Committee
On DP Immigration
The Michigan Committee on
Immigration Policy for Displaced
Persons, an organization repre-
sentative of Detroit and state-
wide groups, was inaugurated on
Wednesday when Dr. William
Bernard, secretary of the National
Citizens Committee on Displaced
Persons, addressed a meeting in
the YMCA here.
Dr. Bernard is associated with
Earle G. Harrison, dean of the
Law School - of the University of
Pennsylvania and chairman of
the National Citizens Committee
on Displaced Persons .
The Michigan committee, of
which Mrs. Thomas M. Weber,
chairman of the Detroit chapter
of the Women's International
League is temporary chairman, is
endeavoring to bring before Con-
gress the views of representative
groups in Michigan with respect
to t.ie critical situation facing
displaced persons in Europe. It
is puinted out by Mrs. Weber that
some 850,000 persons of various
nationalities in Europe cannot re-
turn to their homelands because
of social and political upheavals.
Specifically, the Michigan Com-
mittee requests the unused
quotas of the war years be used
to facilitate the entry of displaced
persons, and that priority in
granting visas should be given
to those now in DP camps.
Mrs. Weber said response to
the organizing committee has
been gratifying and organizations
representing large segments of
the population had indicated their
sympathy with the purpose of the
Michigan Committee.
Encouraging messages pledging
wholehearted support to the pro-
gram for the assignation of avail-
able visas for DPs have been
received from Congressmen Din-
gell and Sadowski.
