Wayne Students Investigate Lives
Of City's Many Displaced Persons
Since the end of World War
574 DP families arrived in
Detroit by arrangement with I
the United Service for New Am-
ericans and were assisted by
Resettlement Service: Included
in that group were 148 families
who arrived in 1947 and 1918.
Fifty of these families were se-
lected for study by two students
of Wayne University's School of
Social Work, Sylvia Savin and
Doris Kirschinan. -
The areas studied by the two
students were language achieve-
ment, social, relationships, em-.
ployment and attitudes toward
America.
Their survey indicated that
men spoke English more flu-
ently than women, and that
when the two were interviewing
the families there was a tend-
ency for the women to rely on
their husbands. "Though some
women said they used a for-
eign language with their chil-
dren in order to teach it to
them, most of them confessed
that they used it because it was-

DP women who • were em-
ployed were in no sense career
women, the survey indicated.
They saw their jobs primarily
as a method of supplementing

their husbands' income. The
men showed a more vigorous in-

They were appreciative of

They found that in all instanc3s

features.
The new citizens were also
