Commission reports slow resettlement of displaced persons
The three man commission said its large resettlement effort lagged and blamed the law partly. From July 1 to end of 1948 ZA07 displaced persons reached the United States. Commission Chair Carus told reporters the total fee rose to 3,518 in January and he predicted the same number would arrive in February. If Congress accepts the commission’s recommendations the housing problem for remaining World War II refugees should be cleared up.
