\MC Asks for UN
Refugee Proiection
After IRO Dissolves
NEW YORK—The World Jew-
ish Congress asked the UN to
provide international protection
for refugees and DPs after the
termination of IRO, by appoint-
ing a High Commissioner for the
purpose. The request was sent
to Trygve Lie, United Nations
secretary general, by Dr. Robert
S. Marcus, World Jewish Con-
greis political director.
The ' W J C communication
noted that an Economic and So-
cial Council resolution, now on
the General Assembly agenda,
provides either for establishment
of a refugee service within the
UN Secretariat, or appointment
of a High Commissioner. The
letter points out that since the
proposed organization would be
responsible for the welfare of
hundreds of thousawls of per-
sons dealing with a multitude of
governments and engaged in a
variety of services; it will need
full freedom of negotiation; a
service within the UN Secre-
tariat will not be adequate.
