"Housing has not created the difficulty we had anticipated. A widespread appeal to the Jewish community opened the doors of many homes who would not have considered 'roomers.' Several elderly widows allowed families to share kitchen privileges. The response of the entire community for these homeless people has been excellent. It has, in fact, helped with our total program, exclusive of refugee work, because many families who resisted sharing their homes previously were able to consider taking others into their homes once they <had broken the ice'."
Definite information as to the present status of the 81S displaced persons who were the first to^ arrive last'October under IhTnewlegislation is now available from the semi-annual reports required of each person admitted under the act. These firstcomers went to twenty-one states, 61 percent of them to large cities, 21 percent to other urban areas and 18 percent to rural areas. Ninety percent of the heads of families are employed and the remaining 10 percent are seeking employment. The largest number of employed persons include �killed and semi-skilled workers, service and domestic employees, farm workers and laborers. Only a negligible number have not been satisfactory to their sponsors and have had to turn to voluntary agencies for assistance since their arrival
Of growing importance in DP resettlement are the official state commissions set up by the gover-

nors of several states. So far, there are twenty organized to determine the number of resettlement opportunities available within the states, and to prepare and help execute plans for coordination. Varying widely in size and degree of effectiveness, these commissions generally include heads of the various state departments or agencies, such as labor, agriculture, and housing, as well as representatives of large industries and small business, agricultural organizations, the major religious faiths, public and private welfare agencies, labor organizations and other groups.
The Maryland Commission is one of the most active of these state organizations. Subcommittees of a well organized central committee are operating in the state's twenty-two countries. Because of a serious shortage of agricultural workers, the commission to date has confined He activities larg^ to fadta^ Jobs for DP*b in that field. On the ground that local interest is the jkais for such a program, that neighbors of a sponsor are best qualified to pass on his ability to sponsor a displaced family, every application is first reviewed by the county committee, composed of the county agricultural agent and three leading citizens, before going to the central committee for consideration. The Maryland DP Commission is responsible for more DP's coming in under the state sponsorship than any other state committee.
Five members of the Maryland Commission were on the dock to welcome forty-one Ukrainians from the Marine Shark who held "assur-rances" for Maryland sponsors. The chairman himself was on hand, accompanied by one of the governor's personal assistants, the state

chief of police, the director of the State Employment Service and a representative of the Ukrainian Relief Committee. Within a little more than two hours after the ship had docked, the forty-one were on a train en route to Baltimore in a special coach. They had been sympathetically briefed by the committee as to the reception plan and other pertinent matters, and were introduced to members of the state commission and the IRO representatives, whose warm words of welcome were touchingly responded to by one of the DP's.
When they arrived in Baltimore buses took them from the station to the armory where dormitory accommodations were available. Twelve Baltimore women of Ukrainian descent mingled among the newcomers, told them about their new state and even prepared native food for them. Suitable clothing was given to those who needed it.
By 8.30 the next morning the employers arrived�farmers all, drawn from the commission's list of 1,000 agricultural employers. After a final interview to check up on their arrangements for the DP family or individual, they departed with the newcomers assigned to them. In but a single case was it necessary to shift prearranged plans. One prospective employer changed his mind and expressed a desire for a family rather than an individual. He got his wish, and within an hour another employer who was reached by telephone came to take the single man to his farm.
Apparently as satisfied as the new arrivals, a number of the farmers said they had heard how well the previous new settlers had adjusted. They were sure they would be equally pleased with the ones to whom they were offering homes. One kindly looking old man, who said he was going to pay $35 a week and supply all food and housing, added, "Oh, they'll do better than that when they learn their way around. As for the children, we won't waste a day in getting them to school."
Back in New York the other 358 passengers from the Marine Shark were shepherded by representatives of voluntary national agencies. The activity around the desks of the United Service for New A risoi leans the Catholic War Relief Services, and the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society was especially great. But service was quick and efficient, and when I left the pier it was almost empty. The agency representatives told me there had been practically no unforseen occurrences, and that with a few exceptions all DP's would be on their way to their final destinations that same day.
The Marine Shark was the forerunner of six other ships, all chartered by the IRO, that were due to leave Hamburg for the United States in February. They were to bring 8,643 more DP's, landing them in New York, Boston or New Orleans.
With as many former occupants of Europe's DP camps arriving on our shores in February as had been admitted in the previous eight months since the Displaced Persons Act was passed, it looks as if the machinery is beginning to work as smoothly as the law allows. But the legislation itself is still inadequate and cumbersome. Now is the time to chsnge it so that a job that no longer brooks delay can be well done.
The present act provides for the admission of 205,000 DP's over a two-year period beginning last July
� a number shamefully below our fair share in meeting this responsibility. Then, too, the law contains a time element which means that if the machinery is not speeded up the total number now allowed will probably not get here. Less than 10 per cent of the 50,000 expected in the first six months have actually arrived! The difficulties of speeding up the process arise from the law itself and the detailed requirements involved.
The three-man commission, composed of Ugo CaruBi, chairman, Edward M. O'Connor, and Harry N. Rosenfield, devotes the major part of its first semi-annual report to explaining the difficulties of operation. The act, the report says, falls in several respects to meet its purpose is "almost unworkable," and "includes certain features which defeat the objectives of the program by creating administrative hurdles . . . preventing expeditiously selecting and processing of displaced persons." Bills already in Congress � S. 311 and H. R. 1344 � embody the major part of these recommendations. These identical bills are sponsored in the Senate by Senators J. Howard McGrath (D.R.I.) and Matthew M. Neely (D.W.Va.) and in the House by Representative Emanuel Celler (D.N.Y.). They include the following major objectives:
1. Advance the cut-off date from December 12, 1945, to allow DP visas to persons who entered Germany up to April 21, 1947.
2. Eliminate nationality preferences.
3. Eliminate the agricultural priority and broaden the occupational preference to include a number of professions and skilled and semiskilled trades.
4. Eliminate the house-and-job provision of the present law, as unnecessary, unworkable, and not required of regular immigrants.
5. Remove the mortgaging clause of the current DP law, which at present makes it necessary to subtract DP visas from future regular immigration quotas.
6. Ask for the admission el 400,000 displaced persons daring a four-year period, instead of 206,000 Sa a two-year period specified in the present law.
7. Provide for a $6,000,000 loan to be made by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the Displaced Persons Commission for DP inland transportation in the United States.
8. Propose stringent screening requirements which would weed out all undesirables.
9. Eliminate a provision allowing part of the total to be V^lksdeutsche, making provision for the entry of this group in the regular immigration law.
This proposed legislation already has widespread backing of the press, as well as the welfare, religious, and civic groups which have long been asking for the admission of 400,000 displaced persons. Particularly active in its support is the Citizens Committee on Displaced Persons, with headquarters in New York. If the recommended amendments go through Congress, DP's will be
