Arab Relief Rolls May Be Rectified
• (Continued from Page 1)
at present constitute some 40 to
50 per cent of the whole; that the
intermediate category of partially
self-supporting—who are neverthe-
less still in need of help from
UNRWA—may be some 30 to 40
per cent; and that the third cate-
gory—those who now appear to
be securely re-established — may
represent 10 to 20 per cent." He
gave the total of all refugees on
the UNRWA registration rolls as
1,246,585.
"The host governments," he
stated, "have expressed reserva-
tions about both the substance of
these conjectural estimates and the
propriety of including them in this
report. They have, however, agreed
on the need to obtain factual in-
formation on which more reliable
estimates could be based and have
indicated their readiness to co-
operate in carrying out a survey
to establish degrees of need and
the varying categories of economic
status among the refugees."
Michelmore noted that UNRWA
is already budgeting a reduction
of relief costs for next year by
about $600,000, and that many
refugee children are being kept
off the ration rolls until those
rolls are rectified. "The agency,"
he reported, "proposes to continue
its established policy of inscribing
on the rolls in each host country
eligible children from the waiting
lists in place of ineligible persons
deleted from those rolls."
"But," he pointed out, "after
allowing for this, the Agency be-
lieves, from its -knowledge of the
present state of the ration rolls,
that a cut of this size in the
provision for rations could be
absorbed without detriment to
refugees in need, including chil-
dren on the waiting lists, if the
host governments and refugees
themselves will cooperate with
the agency in segregating the
eligible from the ineligible per-
sons on the rolls."
Michelmore's report—for the pe-
riod from July 1, 1963, to June 30,
1964—reminded the Assembly that
UNRWA's current mandate will ex-
pire June 30, 1965, and that, there-
fore, this year's Assembly must
decide what to do further about
the future of UNRWA or about
other forms of care for the Arab
refugee.

documents, Michelmore noted that
the Arab refugee problem must be
viewed as one of long-range im-
portance. "During the year," he
informed the assembly, "no dis-
cernible progress has been made
toward a solution of the Palestine
refugee problem."
On the' assumption that the as-
sembly will vote for continuance
of UNRWA, Michelmore asked for
a 1965 budget totaling $37,000,000,
an increase of only $100,000 above
the estimated expenditures for
1964. The figures showed that,
since 1950, UNRWA has received
from governments a total of $482,-
589,684. Of that amount, the United
States contributed $340,668,069.
Moscow Won't Pay UN;
Calls Israel `Aggressor'
WASHINGTON(JTA)—The
United States received word from
the Soviet Union insisting that the
USSR will not pay its United Na-
tions assessments for the costs
of the United Nations Emergency
Force and the military force on
the Israel-Egyptian frontier and in
the Congo because "the Soviet
Union has no intention of encour-
aging the aggressor, by shoulder-
ing part of the expenditures con-
nected with the consequences of
the aggression against Egypt and
the Congo."
Tass, the official Soviet news
agency, reported from Moscow that
the same views were relayed to
United Nations Secretary General
U Thant by Nikolai Federenko, the
USSR's permanent representative
at the UN. The United States had
proposed that the next session of
the General Assembly deny voting
privileges to members, like the
USSR, who are in arrears in their
payments for the UN's peace-keep-
ing operations.
