UNRRA Director Warned Against Sharing Rail Diversion Info
Washington hearing revealed UNRRA Director F H LaGuardia told staff 18 days earlier not to disclose committee information without his approval. The two‑day probe examined 1700 tons of steel rails diverted from China to Yugoslavia, with UNRRA officials defending the move and CPA and WAA officials offering contradicting testimony. Karl Borders confirmed LaGuardia’s directive and said he could not recall further such orders.
