Status of 25,000
Italian D
_ Ps Told
By JDC Spokesman

PARIS (JTA) — A report on
the overall situation of Italian
and displaced Jews now living
in Italy was presented here at a
press conference by Louis Hor-
witz, JDC director for Italy.
There are approximately 25,000
Jewish DPs in Italy at • present,
Horwitz said, of whom . half re-
side in refugee camps, while
7.500 live on training farms, 4,000
are scattered in towns and vil-
lages throughout the country and
1.000 live in JDC camps.
The 30,000 Italian Jews, Hor-
witz declared, are completely as-
similated and are not in any way
- treated differently from other
sections of the population. All
Jewish community property con-
fiscated by the fascist regitne has
been returned to its rightful own-
ers while a law transferring heir-
less Jewish property to the Jew-
ish community was recently
passed, he said.
Although the International Re-
fugee Organization is supposed
to supply all refugees in Italy
with food supplies containing
2,000 calories per day, Horwitz
asserted that JDC was compelled
to provide the Jewish DPs with
additional food since in many in-
stances IRO was unable to dis-
tribute sufficient supplies to all
DPs. Pregnant women, heavy
workers and others in special
classifications receive additional
food packages from JDC, 'Hor-
witz reported.

Attlee Rejects Plea
To Legalize Haganah

LONDON, (JTA)—The British
Government has rejected a plea
by the Board of Deputies of Brit-
ish Jews that the Haganah be
given legal status and that Arab
invaders of Palestine be expelled
by the British Army, it was re-.
vealed with the release of an
exchange of correspondence be-
tween Prime Minister Clement
Attlee and Prof. Selig Brodetsky,
president of the l3o1rd.
Minister of State for Foreign
Affairs Hector McNeil, address-
ing a meeting of Glasgow Uni-

versity students, denied reports
that the British were arming the
Arabs in Palestitne. He insisted
that neither side had received
any weapons. He asserted that
"no one has shown one piece of
evidence" that British arms are
filtering through to Palestine.

The date of the first concert of
the CHAMBER MUSIC FESTI-
VAL, at which the Stuyvesant
String Quartet is to appear, has
been changed from April 21 to
Tuesday, April 27, in the Lecture
Hall of the Art Institute. Broad-
cast commitments of the Quartet
necessitated this change.
