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.
