-~ Arrival of First DP's Points
o Bi Job Ahead
To Bigger, Harder Job Ahea
; BY PETER EDSON
| NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The first boatload of displaced
person immigrants arriving in New York is advance
guard for 201,187 more war refugees expected to
follow in the next two years.
It’s' going to be a bigger and harder job than was
anticipated, says Ugo Carusi, chairman of the Dis
placed “Persons Commission, set up to handle the
job: But he thinks it can be done.
Biggest catch discovered in the operation so far
is a re:striction in the DP law as passed by Con
gress. Senators Smith of New Jersey and McGrath
of ].:thode Island and Congressman Keating of New
York have indicated they will.move for amend
ment of the law in the next Congress. But as it
stands ‘today, 40 per cent of the persons admitted
must .be former residents of a country now an
nexed-by a foreign power.
* The way this works out, it means that 80,800 of
‘the 202,000 to be admitted must be refugees from
countries like Ksthonia, - Latvia, Lithuania and
parts of Poland and East Prussia now under Soviet
doemination,
Most of the refugees from this area are Pro
testants. And the Protestant organizations haven't
_b;en as active as Catholic and Jewish organiza
tions in promoting and arranging for admission of
refugees of their faith. So it will be up to Protes
tjnt organizations to get busy and arrange for the
‘admission of more “Balts,” or people from these
Haltic countries, if they want their full quota under
the present law.
#Abotit 8000 individual applications requesting the
atimission of specific DP's have been received at
Displaced Persons Commission headquarters in
Washin’gton thus far. New applications are coming
in faster than they can be handled. At present the
oixly applications being processed are from people
wgo have known blood relatives or close friends in
D‘ cifinps and are able to give satisfactory guaran
tgéé“that the immigrants admitted will have ade
quate housing and a job. The applicant must also
g‘parantee that the DP’s transportatiqn will be paid
fyom port of arrival to future home.
s::\lndividual. unclassified applications from U. S.
dents writing in to ask for a maid, a farmer and
Elwife, three carpenters or four skilled needle
craft workers—without naming the refugees want
—are being put aside until the applicants can
investigated. What the commission has to avoid
ig any danger that the DP’s will be brought in to
t}ke jobs away from American workmen or to be
employed as slave labor, lowering American wage
seales.”
wfilff; some private organization is willing to make
the required guarantees, the DP Commission will
afiptoye applications. The commission is now work
dng through a score or more church and charitable
otganizations that have interested themselves in
the problem. There are perhaps 190,000 applica-'
ti(ns in their hands.
£Another type of public organization which in the
future is expected to play a bigger part in getting
’s distributed in rural areas throughout the
ceuniry is the state agency. Eighteen states have
aiready set up agencies to work with the DP Com
pjission in finding homes and jobs for DP’s while
at the same time helping their farm operators find
iirm labor and tenants. The law specifies that 30
p*rcent of the DP’s admitted must be agricultural
Igbor. B
AThe states now working on this job are Maine,
Viprmont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland,
iw York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, Towa,
braska, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota,
lorado, Oregon, California and Texas. Half a
®zen other states are in the process of setting up
ch agencies. :
The way the system works now, anyone writing
a’lfiter to the commission asking how he can get
aJDP maid or farm hand. will get back a form to
fil out in triplicate. On this fuim, which must be
s!vorn to before a notary public, the applicant
rantees that the DP admitted will not become
fiublic charge.
. 1 All applications must be investigated or sponsored
l‘b 4 reputable welfare organization. Applications
roved are sent to U. S. representatives at the
Lamps overseas. There representatives of the
S. DP Commission and IRO—the International
‘Refugee Organization—detegmine who is eligible
18 fill the application, s 2
. *The DP seiecied must then pass an Army screen
_ 3BE test to make sure that no security risks are in-
Wlved. Finally, the DP must meet requirements

The South And Truman
|
It has been rather interesting to read
the explanations given by the all-wige
commentators anent the rather unexpect
ed election of President Truman, Senator
Barkley and the overwhelming sweep to
victory of the Democratic party which
they led. |
The most interesting thing about it all
is the tiger-like fierceness with which
those who, prior to the election were
praising. the poll-takers, now are de
nouncing them and preacning their fun
eral and final burial, expressing at thel
same time the opinion that it is good for'
the country and democracy that the poll-!
sters are dead, gone and pretty soon will
be forgotten. Well, we agree with them.
One thing is certain, the American peo- |
ple won a big victory over organized, |
highly-financed propaganda. And the
very efficiency of the propaganda, its
powerful impact upon the public mind
apparently produced an effect the very
reverse of what it was intended to do. It
was 8o powerful and so oppressive that it
apparently alarmed <the people and
caused them to turn to the man against
whom it was directed and elect him Pres
ident, giving a resounding majority to the!
political party which he led. ‘
We felt the oppressiveness of that pro
paganda funneled through every agency
of publfe information, the radio, the
newspapers, the high-priced columnists, |
the commentators and editorial writers,
But we did not believe—we did not have
faith enough in the intelligence of the
people, to believe that they would know it
for what it was and repudiate it at the
polls. They did just that and we are heart
fully glad that they did. |
So much for that. ‘
We now turn to the results of this
astounding victory for Truman and the
Democratic party, and its possible effect
upon the political, and therefore economic
and social future of the south. What does
it mean? We do not pretend to know just
what it fully means, but we do believe
that it means that we of the South must
realize that we are part of a great nation,
that it is not necessary for the Democratic
party to have the electoral votes of the
South in order to win, that it is not even
necessary to have all of the big states,
such as New York, Pennsylvania and
Michigan, in order to win, that sectional
ism has been dealt a resounding rebuke.
We do not doubt that the political arro
gance of some of those who professed to
speak for the whole South at the Philadel
phia Convention and subsequently, had
much to do with giving force to the Tru
man-Barkley eampaign and the issues
which they espoused. The Southern ex
tremists helped Mr. Truman. We also
believe the extremist policies of the Wal
laceites helped Mr. Truman and Mr.
Barkley. The American ' people who
travel the middie road turned to Trumanl
and Barkley and against the extremists.
We would do well to read accurately’
what this election means insofar as the,
welfare of the South is concerned. In our
view it means that we must put an end to!
our political arrogance. Our politicians
must drop their tactics and seek to find a
solution to the grest civil rights question,l
for instance, that will ve in accordance
with the facts and spirit of democratic in-!
stitutions. And that does not mean that'
we must surrender to the extremists of thcl
left, anymore than it means that we must|
follow in blindness the leadership of the
extremists in our own section who are
using this issue and diistorting it as a
means to power, regardlesis of the confus-!
ion and turmoil wkhich their policies bring,
to pass. [
There must be a mediation of this great
question that has divided ms and torn us
asunder and threatened the very life and
existence of the Democratic party, and
peace of the people of our -section. We]
must seek a reasomable meeting point, wz‘:‘;
of the South, with the rest of those in thei
nation who are guided by = spirit of mod
eration. '
We must not permit our politicians to'
first create and then to freeze just such a
situation as was made by the cxtremists
of the North, East, West and South prior
to the War Beiween the States; a situa
tion that was finally brought to a horri
ble finale, beyand the control of the mod
erates on both sides of the Mason and
Dixon line. Thiere must be an end to the
“cold war” on/ this question, or else it will
eventually destroy unity at a time of

ECHOES FROM MEMORYLAND
Chancellor Mell \’N:s-Willing to Dispose
of His Livestock
BY T. W. RELD
| By T. W. Reed
| Chancellor Patrick H. Mell was
@ tall, courtly gentleman of the
old Southern school. Ha wnas
rather austere in his looks, but he
was anything but austere when
one came to know him well. In
fact, he was full of fun and had
a keen sense and appreciation
of wit and humor.
Those who never knew him can
get a gcod picture of him by
adding a few inches to the
height of his beloved son, Pro
fassor Edward B. Mell and orna
menting the face of that distin
guiched educator with a beard.
As stated above Chancellog Mell
wag fond of jokes,
One RISES Lo hears o Sigteee,
bance in his chicken house back
of ‘the Chancellor’s residence on
the campus and went out to see
about it,
The moon was shining rightly
and he recognized four University
students who were fixing to steal
his chkickens.
Now the Chancellor had four
young daughters in his home, An
nie, Emma, Ellen and Lurene and
of course the four students were
acquainted with them. As they
picked out the chickens they were
going to steal, one of them said.]
“There’s Annie and Emma and
Ellen and Lurene. We will take
these four fine hens, but we will |
leave Old Pat, for he is too tough
to eat.”
Chancellor Mell made a little
noize and the boys were scared
off without taking any of the
chickens. He never let those
boys know that he had seen them.
Soon thereafter Chancellor and
Mrs. Mell gave an elegant supper
in .their home and the invited
guest were the four would - be
chicken thieves.
As Chancellor Mell filled the
plates with the delicious food, ask
ing each: “Will you have a
piece of Annie or Emma or Ellen
or Lurene. I would give you a
piece of Old Pat but he was too
tough to cook.”
So the boys got to eat portions
of Chancellor Mell’s chicken with
cut having to steal them from
the hen roost out in the chicken
house. iy
_ Chancellor Mell delighted to‘
take his wife and daughters up
to the North Georgia mountains in
the summer time. He loved o
camp out at favorite spots and
enjoy the lovcly mountain scqq-‘
erv. One summer he rented. q!
irage covered wagon in,which his,
|wife, daughters and himself ‘were
|comfortably ensconced and one
morning they halted in a small
town to get breakfast, The ladias
had completed their toilet and
were about ready to get out of
+he wovered wagoen,
The Chancellor preceded them
land an old farmer accosted him
las follows: .
“What you got in that thar
wagon?” said the farmer.
“My live stock,” replied the
Chencellor.
“Are they for sale?”
“Yes, I would be glad to sell
ithem to you if ycu would give
e my price.”
’ “I am locking for some live
stock. Would you mind my look
;ing at your stock?”
} “Not at all sir. Just g 0 over
i there to that wagon and lift up
’the side covering.”
The farmer stepped quickly to
the side of the wgaon jand lifted
up the side covering. The ladizs
screamed and the farmer Adrop

turned to Chancellor Meli with a

look of amazement on his face,
He fourd the Chancellor
laughing and enjoying himseif
immensely. It is not recorded
just what kind of a curiain lee
ture the Chancellor was treated
to by the lady members of his
family.
One night the Chancellor went
over to Old College to see a cer
tain boy. Wheii he Knocked at
the docr, someone yelled “Scratch
Under” Chancellor Mell walked
right into a gambling party.
The next morning the boys got
a note from the Chancellor that
asked them to come to his office,
They went to the office with
great scar lest they would be se
verely disciplined. When they
saw the Chancellor they found
that he was seeking some infor
matoin on an entirely different
subject. Later on one of the boys
asked the Chancellcr what he
was going to do ahout the gam
bling game. His answer dispelled
hheir fears.
“When L go to call on a gen
tleman in his home, if anything
wrong should be going on, I am
not supposed to see it.”

COLUMBUS, '‘Ga., Nev| 5 —
(AP) — Third District Rep. Ste
phen Pace has acclaimed the
Democratic election sweep as a
boon to southern farmers and as
serted that Dixie congressmen
would have a greater voice in na
tional affairs.
He added that he believes Tru
man will still push his civil rights
program, which Pace described as
a “pure vote-getter.”
The Americus congressman said
he is hopeful that southerners can
combine with others to defeat the
anti-poll tax, anti-lynching, and
anti-segregation bills endorsed by
the President before and after the
campaign.
Pace, who will . become the
ranking Democratic member of
the House Agriculture Committee
under Rep. Cooley (D-SC), said
he is hopeful that the Democratic
majority will amend the Aiken
Farm bill passed in the closing
days of the 10th Congress, that
was particularly damaging te
“southern peanut and cotton far
mers.”
The Georgian also commented
that amendments to the Taft-
Hartley labor law probably would
be considered. -
