VIENNA, (JTA)—All displaced
Jews who desire to immigrate to
Israel will be out of the Euro-
pean DP camps by next August
or September, Prof. William Ha-
ber, retiring advisor on Jewish
affairs to the American military
command in Europe, declared.
Haber, who is returning to his
-post' as professor of economics at
the University of Michigan, spoke
at a farewell luncheon in his
honor. '
He asserted that after next
September the only Jewish DPs
left in the camps of Germany and
Austria will be those who desire
to go to countries other than
Israel. He revealed that although

1,600 Jews left Austria last De-
cember, there are still some 10,-
500 in the country, 70 per cent of
whom wish to go to Israel. He
estimated that some 45,000 of
80,000 displaced Jews still in Ger-
man camps will also go to Israel.
Kurt Lewin, Israeli representa-
tive, speaking at the luncheon,
paid tribute to the U. S. Army's
role in the current movement of
DPs and expressed his govern-
ment's thanks to it.
