Statewide Drive Launched
To Support DP Entry Bill
(Continued from Page 1)
Representative on the Inter-Governmental Committee on Re-
fugees. He is the Dean of the Law School of the University
of Pennsylvania and a nationally recognized authority on the
problem of displaced persons.
In the Justice Department report the Attorney General
suggested the bill be modified to authorize the granting of
permanent status to persons now in the U. S. on temporary
status who would be classed as displaced persons if forced to
leave the country. According to a State Department figure,
approximately 1,500 persons might fall into this category.
State and Justice Department officials have co-nferred
with John R. Steelman, assistant to President Truman, who
gave White House approval to the bill, it is understood.
Although President Truman said at his press conference, in
response to questioning, he will not send a message to Con-
gress at this time in support of the Stratton Bill, it is still con-
sidered possible he will make such a statement at a later date.
