While vast changes are being
contemplated on a national level
in connection with the decrease
in recent Jewish immigration,
local agencies here in • Detroit
have already altered their pro-
gram of immigrant aid.
According to a statement from
Resettlement Service, the De-
troit community's immigrant
aid organization, only 42 dis-
placed persons came to Detroit
under community sponsorship

in 1953.
This number is exclusive of

those DP's sponsored privately
by relatives and not supervised
by community funds. In the first
seven months of this year, some
46 persons arrived, the statement
adds. This compares to 421 new
arrivals in 1949, 205 in 1951 and
108 in 1952.
Several reasons for the decline
in Jeish immigration were
given by David I. Rosin, presi-
dent of Resettlement Service:

Rep. Celler Attacks
Policy of Immigration

WASHINGTON, (JTA)— Rep.
Emanue_ Celler, New York Dem-
ocrat, took sharp issue with the
State Department, whose spokes-
man declared over the week-end
that the slowness of Americans
to come forth with job-and-
home guarantees has slowed up
the possible admission of more
non-quota immigrants under
President Eisenhower's Refugee
Relief Act of 1953.
Such guarantees are • manda-
tory under the- Act, which was
one year old Sunday.
Jobs and homes could be pro-
vided expeditiously for the non-
quota immigrants, Rep. Celler
said, if the United States went
back to the previous immigra-
tion policies under which 460,000
"Displaced Persons" had been
admitted. The previous policy
permitted the guarantees to be
pledged by organizations, in-
stead of by individuals.

! Plans for t h e Jewish Social
Service Bureau to be represented
at the 1954 biennial meeting of
the Family Service Association
of America, at Hotel Statler, Los
Angeles, Sept. 8 to 10, were an-
nounced by Mrs. Theodore Barg-
man, JSSB president.
Along with representatives
from among the 260 affiliated
family service agencies of the
association in 230 cities through-
out the country, will be Mrs.
Bargman, Harold Silver, direc-
tor, and Mrs. Rachel Manela,
supervisor of the Jewish Social
Service Bureau.
Unhappy family living will be
the focal point of discussion at
the sessions, under the theme:
"Less Unhappy Living—Greater
`Strength for Society." Discus-
sions will be directed toward the
means and methods by which
families can be enabled to solve
their problems and achieve hap-
pier living—particularly through
the use of family counseling and
other "preventive" services which
agencies like Jewish Social Serv-
ice Bureau offer.
The million juvenile delin-
quents who pass through the
courts each year and a large
part of the mentally ill who oc-
cupy half of the nation's hos-
pital beds are examples of the
product of unhappy family liv-
ing, according to Clark W. Black-
burn, general director of the as-
sociation.
Among the speakers will be a
former Michigan residents, Dr.
Frank F. Tallman, professor of
psychiatry at the University of
California, Los Angeles; John W.
Tramburg, retiring Commission-
er, Social Security Administra-
tion, Washington, D. C.; Federal
Judge Luther W. Youngdahl,
former governor of Minnesota,
and Sol Morton Isaac, Columbus,
president of the association.
The Los Angeles meeting is
being held in conjunction with
the 100th anniversary of Jewish
Family Service of Los Angeles,
one of its oldest member agen-
cies.

called Emergency Refugee Re-
lief Act, passed by Congress a
year ago. This act, initiated
by President Eisenhower, was
so hedged with qualifications
and requirements that only a
handful of immigrants have
been admitted. The two years
more it has to run look no
more promising, with un-
friendly attitudes being shown
by administrators of the Act.

aged, others are chronically
ill, some are widows with de-
pendent children. The unfav-
orable labor market in Detroit
at the moment is a contribu-
tory factor keeping many from
employment.

Silver estimates that many of
these new arrivals will remain
on relief until they have com-
pleted their five-year residency
in the United States. It is this
I residual group of hard-to-place
immigrants, Silver stated, that
will form the major portion of
the community's responsibility
in the next few years to come.

With a smaller number of ref-
ugees making their way to De-
troit, smaller outlays from the
Allied Jewish Campaign have
been required by Resettlement
Service, In the fiscal year 1951-
52, for example, the Service
spent $260,541. The budget has
become smaller each year, and
! the allocation of the Jewish
1Welfare Federation this year
! was only $98,632.
According to Harold Silver,
! executive director of the Jewish
! Social Service Bureau and Re-
! settlement Service, the agency is
now giving financial aid to 40
families, in most of which there
are serious handicaps to self
support.
