erans of the United States, Mr.
New York (JPS)—The Vatican
is “deeply concerned” with sav-
ing tens of thousands of Ruthen-
lan political DPs, many of whom
were members of the Nazi SS
(Elite Guard) and the German
Army, from forced repatriation
from the United States and Brit-
iah zones of Germany, Austria
and Italy to their native lands,
Herbert Matthews, New York
Times correspondent, reports
from Rome. According to Mr.
Matthews, Vatican circles have
expressed fear for the fate of
10,000 Ruthenians, now quartered
near Rimini, Italy, who were
members of the SS, and state
that “they were soldiers, not
traitors or war criminals.”
It was learned on high Vatican
authority, Mr. Matthews reports,
that the Pope’s criticism of forc-
ed repatriation contained in his
allucation, February 20, was a
direct rebuke of British and Uni-
tad States military authorities
who send Ruthenian, Hungarian
and Ukranian political refugees
to their homelands. The Vatican
claims that these refugees are
often sent to Siberia by Soviet
authorities, and though many
did not fight for the Germans,
all receive the same treatment.
Lehman declared that “as the
most available refuge for many
years,” Palestine “will be given
thq right, the free right, the re-
cognized right to admit vastly
larger numbers of immigrants of
the Jewish faith.” Other nations
too, “should open their doors free-
ly to the persecuted of the world,”
he said. He added that Jews in
Germany and Austria refuse to
remain in thoa countries which
they know is the graveyard of
all that was near and dear to
them.”
Mr. Lehman received from
Governor Dewey a New York
State Conspicuous Service Cross,
presented posthumously to his
son, Lt. Peter G. Lehman, who
was killed while piloting a figh-
ter plane over Europe. The Gov-
ernor presented Conspicuous
Service Crosses I to 104 Jewish
war veterans o# World War II
who had been decorated pre-
viously by the federal Govern-
ment
Speaking e
the Governor d
especially fitting U> make these
awards “in times when some peo-
ple would use prejudice and
scapegoats by wiy of excuses,
during times wheoJsome nations
have risen to powr through de-
grading practicesof anti-Semit-
ism."
The young Jewish people of
Houston have indicated their ea-
gerness to share in the tank- of
raising funds for overseas relief.
Representatives from thirty-one
youth groups, from all the Sun-
day Schools, and from unafiliat-
ei individuals are forming a Ju-
nior Division of the United Jew-
ish Campaign, which is being
sponsored by the Center Youth
Council.
The major beneficiary of the
local United Jewish Campaign is
the national United Jewish Ap-
peal. which has this year, in face
of the dire emergency which ex-
ists, set a national quota of $100,-
000,000, three times what was
raised the preceding year. The
United Jewish Appeal is the
fund-raising organization for the
Joint Distribution Committee for
overseas relief, the United Pales-
tine Appeal and the National
Refugee Service.
Teams are being formed to
solicit funds from all the youth
groups, Sunday Schools, and in
addition, from each individual
boy and girl, young man and
woman, in the Jewish community.
Volunteers are wanted, both for
solicitation and clerical work in
the campaign of the Junior Di-
vision. Anyone interested in
helping may contact Mr. Schatz
at K. 3-7301.

HOUSE COMMITTEE HEARS
BILL TO SLASH
QUOTAS *0 PER CENT
Washington (JPS)—The House
Immigration Committee is con-
sidering a bill sponsored by Rep-
resentative Ed Gossett (D., Tex.)
to slash United States immigra-
tion quotas by fifty per cent At
Committee hearings. Representa-
tive Gossett asserted that he does
not intend to be an immigrant-
baiter nor to exclude all immi-
grants, but, he said, a drastic
cut now is only fair, considering
the present unemployment and
housing problems and psycholog-
ical effect of immigrant compe-
tion for jobs and homes.
The American Legion has in-
dicated its support* of the Gossett
Bill, while John F. O’Neil, rep-
resenting the Veterans of For-
eign Wars, urged complete sus-
pension of immigration for a
ten year period.
