Page Thirty-four 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.
