Luncheon Tuesday

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — T h e
International Refugee Organiza-
tion will not open the doors
Palestine to Jewish immigration,
nor will U. S. membership in the
IRO in any way affect the im-
migration laws of this country,
Under-Secretary of State Ache-
son explained to the Senate for-
eign relations committee when
it met to consider a resolution
providing for U. S. participation
in the IRO.
After Acheson had read into
the record a letter from Secre-
tary of State Marshall urging U.
S. participation, and had outlined
the functions and program of the
IRO, Senator Elbert Thomas, (D)
of Utah, questioned whether es-
tablishment of the organization
would ''help or hinder the Pales-
tine question." Acheson gxpress-
ed the hope it would help "by
finding places of resettlement for
these displaced persons."
To Thomas' question as to
whether the IRO will "help to
put into Palestine those who want
to go there," Acheson replied that
it will not "and does not purport
to solve that basic problem."
"It will not open the doors of
Palestine," he added.
Senator Vandenberg raised the
question whether the resolution
empowering U. S. membership in
the IRO "implies any change in
American immigration laws or in
our acceptance of DP's." Ache-
son replied the implication "can
be dismissed from the consider-
ation of this bill."

Adopt FEP Measure,
Legislature Urged

Following t h e announcement
that the State Supreme Court had

removed the proposed Fair Em-
ployment Practice Act from the

April 7 ballot, a statement was
issued by George Schermer, chair-
man of the Michigan CoUncil for
Fair Employment Legislation, as-
serting that the question now
must be returned to the State
Legislature for action.
According to Schermer, the
Michigan Council will renew ef-
forts to obtain immediate enact-
ment of a bill in Michigan. In his
call for renewed action he de-
clared:
"Removal of the proposed act
from the ballot should not be al-
lowed to become a loophole
through which groups interested
in compromising the principle of
fair employment may offer a
weak substitute bill to the legis-
lature. The Michigan Council re-
mains committed to the spirit and
intent of the measure proposed in
the petition campaign with only
such changes as might be neces-
sary to remove any doubts as to
its constitutionality.
"The job ahead of all friends
of FEPC is to transfer pressure
to the State Legislature to the
end that job discrimination
against minority group members
will be legally outlawed."

Mrs. Davidson has just re-
turned from Brazil, where she
studied the possibilities of the
admission of more DPs. Before
her work with UNRRA and JDC,
she was chief technical immigra-
tion expert for the National
Council of Jewish Women and
National Refugee Service, as edi-
tor of Interpreter Releases for
the Common Council for Ameri-
can Unity, and as a member of
the executive committees of the
national conference of Social
Work and National Council on
Naturalization and Citizenship.
She will analyze the present
situation of the Displaced Per-
sons, and the prospects for bet-

terment of their position through
rehabilitation and immigration.
Among the 24 organizations
sponsoring the DP luncheon are
the League of Jewish Women's
Organizations,:Detroit Section Na-
tional Council- of Jewish Wom-
en, and the Women's Division,
Jewish Welfare Federation.
