Problem of D.P.s grows in Germany
Displaced persons in Germany increasingly stay put in camps rather than return. Report from Stuttgart notes 1,500 Jews at Bleidorn Camp near Anebach, with 2,400 daily calories per person, plus U.S. and UNRRA relief. German residents get less, while DP inmates show mixed attitudes toward rebuilding the economy and politics.

Hindenburg Caserne houses 2,200 Baltic and Baltic-land displaced persons with higher basic calories but less extra relief.
