8 Mid-West States
Reported Seeking
DPs As Settlers
'NEW YORK (JPS)—A "grass
roots" movement has sprung up in
eight mid-western states to in-
augurate studies to see how many
displaced persons from Europe
could be absorbed into their un-
derpopulated areas. Such studies
are already under way in Minne-
sota, North and South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska, and are soon
to start in Wisconsin, Colorado
and Kansas. The growing inter-
est may serve to inform Congress
of the need for swift legislation
t9 admit DPS to the United
States.
In addition to humane con-
siderations, the admission of DPs
is seen by these states as a pos-
sible solution to the problem of
underpopulation. There has been
a -steady migration away from
the farm belt, plus a declining
birth rate. The majority of DPs
settling in this area would be
agricultural workers, thereby„
prechicling a large number of
Jew. Most Jewish agricultural
are planning to settle
w..
in Palestine.
Commenting on the DP move-
_ ment in the mid-west, the New
York Times observed last week
that it is one problem "that finds
the people of the United States
far ahead of the lawmakers."
Thousands of refugees now in
Latin America, most of them in

by the Nazis because the Allied

failed to properly publicize a
restitution law effected two and
a half months ago, New York
Herald - Tribune correspondent
Mac R. Johnson reported froln
Buenos Aires. The refugees have
until next Jan. 1 to file claims
but there is a May 10 deadline
concerning property for which
there are no heirs.

• JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
members of the Jewish commu-
nities of Teheran, capital of
Iran, and Kuwait, a British' pro-
tectorate situated on . the Persian

national Jewish institutions. The
message from Teheran disclosed
that the Jews there have threat-
ened to appeal to the Soviet
Embassy for 'aid unless they re-
ceived adequate government pro-
tection against Lynch mobs.

LONDON (JTA)—The British
government was urged to give
the Jewish Agency the facilities
or the purchase and transporta-
tion of arms to the Jewish com-
munity of Palestine in a resolu-
tion adopted at a three-day an-
nual conference of the Zionist
Federation of Britain and Ire-
land. The resolution, which point-
ed out that such action would
be consistent with Britain's mem-
bership in the United Nations,
also endorsed Moshe, Shertok's
demand for an international po-
lice force to enforce partition in
Palestine.
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, veteran
Zionist leader, urged the dele-
gates to seek closer rapproche-
ment with the British and to
attempt to obtain more aid from
them in the building of the new
state. "We must achieve once
again that cooperation between
Great Britain and ourselves with-
out which a great deal of our
work in Palestine, particilarly
in the early days, could never
have been done," Dr. Weizmann .
declared.
A sharp attack on Great Brit-
ain's policy with regard to Pal-
estine was made by Prof. Selig
Brodetsky, member of the Jew-
isik Agency executive, in an ad-
dress to the convention.
