Third Winter For The DPs Third winter for the DP's by PETES EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent
The American view on displaced persons after World War II dominates this briefing. About 800,000 remain unable to return home, with 650,000 in Germany, 100,000 in Austria, and 100,000 in Italy. DP camps cost the U.S. roughly 159 million dollars last year, potentially 250 million as costs rise. Most DPs want resettlement, but fear persecution if they return to non Communist lands and refuse to rebuild Germany. Congress weighs bills to admit up to 490,000 DPs over four years while UNRRA transitions to PCIRO, which faces funding and ratification hurdles before it can operate fully. The United States bears a large share of costs, with mixed international involvement and slowing progress toward permanent solutions.
