There are also substantial numbers of car-

stated.
"The decision," he said, "narrows down
either to merely prolonging the existence
of the displaced persons in the camps, pri-
marily at the expense of the United States,
or to an early reasonable program of settle-
ment in which this country would take a
part to enable these DPs to resume life in
a normal atmosphere."
Rep. Gossett asked if 80 per cent of the
Jewish DPs had not come into the camps
after the war ended. Goldthwaite Dorr, a
liaison official between the State Department
and Congress on the DP question, interposed
to say that 80 to 90 per cent were in the camps
at the end of the war. The exceptions, he
said, are the persecutees who came in after
the pogrom in Kielce, Poland, last year.

In a sharply worded statement the Immi-

misleading" statements on immigration and
cited particularly an address by Paul H.
Griffith, national commander of the Ameri-
can Legion to the Daughters of the American
Revolution, in Washington on May 22. Carusi
said "the actual number of quota immigrants
in the fiscal year 1946 is extremely close to
the annual average for the past decade, it
being 29,095."
