Following his pamphlet "Nazis in

NEW YORK, (JTA) — More
than 25,000 Jewish survivors of
war and Nazi persecution have
been admitted to the United
.States during the last year, Old
about 20,000 of them were given
aid after their arrival by the
United Service for New Amer-
icans, it was repoFted by Edwin
Rosenberg, presidnt of the or-
ganization:-
The figures were revealed in
connection with the two-day an-
nual meeting of USNA. A re-
port prepared covers the work
of the organization since it was
established in 1946, by merger of
the National Regugee Service and
the National Service to Foreign
Born of the National Council of
Jewish Women. During the 19
months which this period covers,
about 38,000 Jewish refugees
have reached the United States.
Pointing out that the majority
of these refugees were helped by
USNA to integrate themselves in-
to the American economy voca-
tional guidance and employment
services, Rosenberg said that'
thousands of them were also
aided in moving away from sea-
port cities where they disem-
barked and in settling in corn-
munities from coast to coast.
USNA is seeking $13,660,000 for
1948.
In a foreword to the report,
Rosenberg and? Mrs. Irving M.
Engel, chairman of the board .of
United •Service, declared that
this year "promises to be one of
great constructive accomplish-
ment in worldwide efforts to re=
settle uprooted people in Pales-
tine, the U. S. and other lands."
Joseph E. Beck, executive di-
rector of the agency, reported
that studies by the government,
as well as by United Service, in-
dicate that the post-war refugee
immigrants are following the
same pattern of adjustment and
Americanization that was estab-
lished by those who came before
the war. "We may expect that
they will achieve a similar ex-
cellent record of constructive
contribution to their new coun-
try," he predicted.
Rep. William Stratton, of Illi-
nois, sponsor of a bill at the last
session of Congress to admit
400,000 DP's over a period of
four years, told the meeting that
he believed that such legislation

to, Vf,f5

would be adopted at the present
session. Assistant Secretary of
State Charles Saltzman said that
the State Department favored
allocation by the International
Refugee Organization of $75,000,-
000 to transport 400,000 DP's to
the U. S. and believed that the
U. S. contribution to the IRO
should be adequate to cover the
costs.
Early "break-up of the log
jam" that has kept hundreds of
thousands of men, women, and
children in the status of dis-
placed persons was foreseen by
William Rosenwald, honorary
president of United Service and
national chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, in addressing the
meeting. "The gates are begin-
ning to open, Ind the United
States is leading The way," Rosen-
wald declared. Since the dis-
placed persons are Catholics, Pro-
testants, and Jews, the problem
is of equal importance to Ameri-
cans of all faiths, Rosenwald
said, adding that it was being
handled in "closest harmony and
with the utmost mutual help-
fulness" by agencies of all faiths.
The board of directors re-
elected Edwin Rosenberg presi-
dent and Mrs. Irving M. Engel
chairman of the board of direc-
tors. Other • officers elected for
1948. include Mrs. Joseph M. Welt,
Detroit, • honorary president.
