Visas For Last Of DP's
Will Be Issued By Year's End
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Visas to admit to the
United States the last of 336,000 European dis
placed persons will have been issued before Dec
ember 31, which is the deadline under exishng law.
By the end of the year, some 300,000 will actually
be in the United States. It will take until February
or March to move the last 36,000 to American
shores.
For nearly 55,000 people of German origin, ex
pelled fromr their pre-war homelands, the deadline
will be a little later. About 20,000 of these “ex
pellees” are in the United States now. Visas for the
remainder must be issued before June 30, 1952.
By September of next year, America’s biggest
and most successfully-managed immigration pro
gram will be washed up.
Within this same period, the International Refu
gee Organization, the United Nations agency for
handling displaced persons emigrating to other
countries, will also wind up its affairs.
MANY ARE STILL HOMELESS
By no stretch of the imagination does this mean
that the problenr of displaced persons has been
completely solved, says John W, Gibson, chairman
of the U. S. Displaced Persons Commission.
It does mean that the European victims of World
War II will have been fairly well disposed of.
Over a million World War II DP’s have been re
settled in other countries, a third of them in the
United States. There will still remain in Western
Europe an estimated 115,000 World War I 1 DP's for
whom new’homes have not been found, or who are
unacceptable as immigrants to other countries.
They will remain the problem of the countries in
which they now have temporary residence—many
in DP camps. .
A new, 23-nation Provisional Inter-Governmen
tal Committee for the Movement of Migrants from
Europe has just been set up in Brussels, Belgium,
as a successor to IRO.
It will try to find homes for the hard core of DP’s
remaining in Europe, to clean up the job by the end
of 1953. The U. S. is contributing $lO million to this
new committee. The other 22 countries will be
asked to raise $24 million,
Far bigger than the DP clean-up job, however,
is the problem of the expellees, They are post-war
refugees from Communism. There are an estimated
10 million of tnem in Western Germany and Aus
tria alone,
This is an area about the size of Indiana, Illinois
and lowa, which now have a population of around
14 million people.
But in Germany and Austria there are 51 million
native inhabitants, plus the 10 million expellees.
Every sixth person is therefore a victim of Com
munist aaggression. That gives some measure of
the problem Fermany and Austria now have,
EXPELLEES GROW IN NUMBER
The number of expellees is constantly growing.
Several thousand a month cross from East Ger
nmrany into free West Germany. From the Russian
satellite countries—from Poland and Czechoslova
kia, to the Balkans, another 1,000 to 1,300 a month
manage to escape. They add to the unemployment
and relief problems in Germany, Austria, Italy and
other western European countries. And what to do
with them nobody knows.
A Congressional Judiciary sub-committee under
Rep. Francis Walter of Pennsylvania is returning
from Europe soon after making a study of the refu
gee and expellee problems.
. It may recommend new legislation to Congress
to help relieve European over-population.
Various religious and nationality groups in the
United States have urged further admissions to this
country. But as of January 1, 1952, the only way to
get in will be through reguler immigration quotas.
The American PP program from June, 1948, to
June, 1952, will have cost about sl2 million, or
about $35 for each person brought over. If the SBB
million U. S. contribution to International Refugee
Organization is included, for maintaining DP camps
and helping send refugees to other countries, the
cost to the U. S. is S3OO per immigrant,
To get the 336,000 DP's finally admitted to the
U. 8., over 500,000 applicants were screened for se
curity, health and other clearance-by seven U. S.
governnrent agencies.
Of the 200,000 or 40 percent rejected, some 8,000
were denied visas as security risks. But of those
admitted, only three have thus far been deported
—one for insanity and two for moral turpitude.
The goal of placing on farms a third of the DP’s
brought to this country just didn't work out. As of
today, 90 percent of the DP’s are in American cities,
‘ The main trouble was that as scon as the farm
i wo;kers got settled, their friends and relatives
{ urged them to leave the farms and come to the
| cities where they could earn more money and be
( among friends.

Defeated Russia Would Pose A
Whole New Set of Probiems
Even the most cheerful among our prophets con
cede that war between the West and the Soviet
Union might happen some day in spite of all effort
to prevent it.
Suppose that it should. The general assumption
is that we would win it, provided, naturally, that
we were able to bring to bear the full weight of our
economic nright.
Somehow the notion has got about that if war
did come and we managed to emerge victorious,
our troubles would be behind us. This theory seems
simple enough. Russian Communists are to blame
for the cold war and attendant evils, If they're elim
inated, the woes they have thrust upon the world
ought to vanish, too. |
Yet it's likely this would be only partly true.
There would be certain specific gains, indeed. We
would be rid of Stalin and his most effective con
temporaries, together with the frightful structure
of terror they call the Conmmmunist government.
But what would fill the void? What kind of gov
ernment? What leaders?
It is well understood that the West, chiefly the
United States, would have to occupy Russia for
many years, gradually establishing a new Russian
government and pointing it toward ultimate free
dom and independence. The magnitude of the task
would be staggering.
Russia is a nation of more than 200 million peo
ple, stretching 6,000 miles wide, and in all, cover
ing a sixth of the earth’s surface. Merely to police
it adequately would take an army of considerable
size.
Worse than that, the people of the Soviet Union
have known nothing but communism for more than
30 years, and even before the Bolshevik Revolution
they had gained but the feeblest experience with
dmocracy as the czars grudgingly gave ground.
Furthermore, it is the nature of communism to
destroy systematically all competing loyalties,
whether in religion, social groups, labor unions or
whatever. So the people in Russia today are liter
ally a shapeless mass, Take away the Communist
organization and there is nothing.
To build a new government upon this marshy
soil would®ax the imagination of the most brilliant
practitioners of statecraft.
Does anyone suppose the Russians would quickly
and automatically embrace democracy as they
threw off the Communist fetters? Our best analysts
suggest these are foolish thoughts.
More probably we would have to begin with
some form of authoritarian government, and it
would be sadly noted that the arrangement more
closely resembled the departed Comrmunist regime
than democracy in the U. S.
There would be anguished cries from statesmen
‘asking if that was what we had fought for, merely
to bring socialism back to Russia in new dress,
Con‘gressional search parties might embark for
Russia to track down good democrats capable of
setting up a really free government.
Yet they would almost certainly come home con
vinced their journey was fruitless. You cannot nrake
democrats out of slaves in a day or even a decade.
We would have to take the best thing we could
get, and hope that time—and our example—would
teach tre Russians the merits of democracy.
From whatever angle you view it, the pastwar
management of a defeated Russia would be a prob
lem comparable in scope and delicacy to most of
tohse we shudder at today.
Our troubles would not be behind us. We would
just have a new set,
.
Allergy To Gifts Spreads
Santa Claus was definitely told to stay away
from the door and chimney of all Federal Housing
Administration employes, in a circular letter sent
out by FHA Commissioner Franklin D. Richards.
In what was regarded as an extrenrely wet and
cold blanket thrown over Christmas cheer, Com
missioner Richards wrote:
“I want to ask you to take affirmative steps to
make certain insofar as possible that members of
the public, doing business with FHA, refrain from
sending (you) gifts.
“Gifts should not be sent even though you may
know that they are prompted solely by the Christ
mas spirit of good will. The acceptance of such
gifts can prove embarrassing to both the recipient
and the giver.”
Comnrissioner Richards then cited FHA Em
ployes’ Handbook regulations which provide that,
“No employe shall accept or agree to accept any
favor, gratuitous service, gift, loan or any item of
value in any form whatsoever, directly or indi
rectly, from any person or organization which has
done, is doing or proposes to do business with this
administration.
“Situations will undoubtedly arise where it may
be embarrassing to refuse or to return the gift, but
still there is no justification for keeping it.”
It is unfortunate when a procrastinating woman
marries a methodical man. Maybe she puts off bal
ancing the checkbook or forgets to leave the car at
the garage for the fall anti-freeze. They seem snrall
things to her but not to her husband. It's time to do
a little self-analyzing when husbands show signs
of developing nervous tension, — Dr. Frances H.
Bush, psychiatrist,
There’s a certain stigma attached to being a wo-~
man mrinister . . . but I think that in the future
we're going to sée more feminine preachers.—Rev.

Rev. C. C. Shafe
Is Paid Tribute
STATESBORO, Ga., Dec. 27—
A Canadian native who preached
his first sermons to tenant farmers
in a railroad station near here and
has directed mission schools en
rolling 10,000 in the Belgian
Congo heads approximately 30
ministerial graduates of Georgia
Teachers College receiving tri
bute in the winter number of the
college Alumni Quarterly.
Graduated in 1936 after adopt
ing Atlanta as his home, the Rev.
Charles C. Shafe was the first
alumnus to enter the ministry. He
has been pastor ©of the Central
Presbyterian Church at Athens,
Ga., since 1948.
In a pastorate at San Benito,
Texas, Mr. Shafe set up a founda
tion enabling Mexican “Wetbacks”
crossing the broder to receive the
scriptures in their own language
for the first time. He previously
had received a degree at Columbia
Theological Seminary, at Decatur,
and served as a pastor in Birming
ham, Ala., and as a missionary to
the Belgian Congo.
The theme of the quarterly,
“Pinnacles Point the Way,” is il
lustrated by a cover-page photo
graph of the Independent Presby
terian Church of Savannah. The
church is noted for its attractive
spirt and historical significance.
President James Monroe and his
Cabinet attended dedicatory ex

Wilson, later president, married in

Food Outlook:
Plenty To Eat
-
At Higher Cost
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
AP Food Editor
Mrs. America can count on 1952
menus featuring everything from
soup to nuts—and plenty of it. It
looks as if there would be even
more food available in the next 12
months than there was in ’sl. But
the chances are that by the middle
of the new year, it will cost some
what more than it did in 1951 to
set the family table. U. S. gov
ernment agricultural economists
say the trend to higher prices
shows no sign of letting up.
Starting with breakfast, there
will be plenty of cereal food pro
ducts around. But the cost of
cereals at the grocery tsore prob
ably wi}l reflect 1951’s higher
grain prices.
There will be lots of milk to
pour on your bowl of oatmeal or
corn flakes, or to drink (even
though fluid milk is expected to
advance in price), but there will
be less butter for your bread.
Like a couple of eggs, with a
strip of bacon or some frizzled
ham, after your cereal? The U. S.
larder should hold even larger
supplies of eggs than heretofore,
and 1951’s outstandingly large
pork crop will provide good eating
for the first half of ’52.
Sugar in your coffee? A record
world output means that you'll
probably have plenty to sweeten
the taste of that high-priced bev
erage.
Going on to lunch and dinner,
it may cheer you to know that
supplies of beef are showing an
increase., Better get out recipes
for Swiss steaks, pot roasts, and
stews, since much of the beef will
be gras-fed and need long slow
cooking. Look up some Italian
recipes, too, because there’s an in
crease in veal. And what better
to do with veal cutlets or ‘thanks
to cook Scallopine a Ia Marasala
or Ossi Buchi Milanese?
You can also look forward to a
few more lamb chops—but not
many, because lamb production is
not expected to rise far above the
extremely low level at which it’s
been.
Turkey every Sunday may give
chicken a run for the money.
Farmers are paying heed to the
growing popularity of small tur
keys and raising increasing num
bers of these delicious young birds
for year-round consumption,
When you change to fish for a
main dish in ’52, you’ll find more
fresh and frozen, a little less can
ned, than in ’sl.
Large packs of canned and froz
en vegetables will help round out
meals. So will white potatoes.
Sweet potato supplies are short
and will bring high prices until
the 1952 crop is harvested. As
usual, there will be plenty of dry
beans and peas.
Grapes and cranberries from fall
harvesting are in large supply; but
so far it looks as if we would have
fewer apples and pears than in
81.
There will be as much canned
fruit available as last year, as
