British Planned to Displace
DPs to Shelter Germans
BELSEN (JTA)-Leaders of the
Committee of Liberated Jews in
the British zone of Germany
were informed that a plan to
move Jews out of one section of
the Bergen-Belsrm camp and de-
vote it to Germans Tepatriated
from territory now in the hands
of Allied nations, will not be
pest into effect in the near future.
The announcement of the con-
templated action was made yes-
terday by Brigadier A. G. Kench-
ington, chief of the DP division
of the British Control Commis-
sion in Germany. He also denied
rumors that a number of small
camps for Jew s, scattered
throughout the zone, would be
closed soon and their inmates
sent to larger camps such -s
Belsen. However, he refused to
guarantee that such action would
not be taken sometime in the
future, in line with • Anglo-
American policy to consolidate
camps in the joined zones.
General Reveals Order
Against Conference Speech
believes that the Committee
should speak for only the DPs.
The relief officials pointed out
to Kenchington that the two
groups had decided to unite six
weeks ago because they were
,persecuted equally.
The Central Committee con-
ference closed this morning after
adopting resolutions asking the
British Government to recognize
the Committee as the represent-
ative of all Jews in the British
zone, urging the forthcoming
Foreign Ministers conference in
London to provide Jewish DPs_
'in Germany with full legal
status, demanding an immediate
property restitution law, con-
demning terrorism in Palestine,
and voicing support of the Jew-
ish Agency. Joseph Rosensaft
and Norbert Wolheim were re-
elected chairman and vice-chair-
man of the Committee.
