BOLzANO, Italy, July 20.-some
100000 German-speaking Italians
whose Tyrolean Mountain home has
become the center of gravity Of the
Rome-Berlin axis worried today
over their ultimate fate in the Fas-
cist governments plan to Italianize
the region.
These South Tyrolese, who were
an Austrian people before the World
War made them Italian, now are
gloomily apprehensive that they may
be ousted from Bolzano Province
along with 10000 German citizens
and other foreigners whose expul-
sion already has been ordered.
Ohicially the Tyrolese know only
that they will be offered the op-
portunity Of joining the German.
born in being transported into the
Reich. But what worries many Is
a fear that If they reject the chance
to become Germans they will have
to move elsewhere In Italy.
Representative .Tyrolese whose
families have lived here for gener-
ations said the necessity of choos-
ing between two such fates would
be little less than mass tragedy"
Fear Loss of German Culture.
Authoritative Fascist quarters
stated they had no information on
probable treatment of Tyrolese who
chose to remain in Italy. TyroleSe
said that even if they were per-
mited t. remain in the province, it
probably would be with the under
standing that they would be 100 per
cent Italians"
They feared this would mean COM
plete elimination of their language,
Inflammation Of their names, sup
preston Of their local German Ian
guage newspapers and prohibition of
religious services and instructions in
German.
Many inhabitants of the province,
both German and italian speaking,
attributed the expulsion and re-
patriation measures to the zeal of
some Nazi sympathizers for the re-
turn Of South Tyrol to Germany
even after Adolf Hitler's renuncia-
ton of 1t.

Permanent Homes
Topic of Conference

LONDON, July 20 (PD.-The uues-
tion of finding permanent homes for
refugees from Central Europe will
be the principal topic of considera-
ton when the officers of the 30
nation Intergovernmental Commit
tee on Refugees meet with President
Roosevelt in Washington, probably
the first week in September.
A committee spokesman said yes
terday that the high cost of main
tanning refugees in temporary quar-
tiers was draining the finances of
private charity organizations and
indicated that the question of NOV.
ing these refugees to permanent
homes would be one of the principal
topics before the White House
meeting.

Desire Of Roosevelt
For Refugee Aid Seen
In Farley Call
President Described as
Wanting Other Nations
To Share Burden
Nv the Associated Press.

0y the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt's invitation to
leaders of the international Refugee
Movement for a White House con-
ference was seen today by some
officials as rejecting desire to per-
suade other government to shoulder
their share of the refugee burden.
They believe that the President,
who with Secretary Hull originated
the international organization to
help German and Austrian political
refugees, will take this occasion to
bring home to other governments
the necessity for greater co-opera-
ton. He can point out to the 81
other countries represented on the
1ntergovernmental Committee, with
headquarters in London, the fact
that the United States is co-operat-
ing to the full extent of its capacity.
Germany's Quota Passed.
The immigration quota for Ger
many for the fiscal year ending
June 80 was entirely filled and about
5000 more Germans came in outside
the quota, making the total about
$4,000. About 95 per cent of these,
1t is estimated. are Jewish refugees
officials here say that if other
governments would accept German
refugees in the same percentage,
the refugee problem would be an
easy one.
BY September 8, the probable date
of the White House meeting. two
American committees will have made
their reports on possible places for
Jewish settlement-the Philippines
and San Domingo. An Anglo
American committee already has in
veStigated British Guiana and q
British committee has checked up
on Rhodesia.
The Intergovernmental Committee
has been functioning for year
During that time about 100000 Jew
ish refugees have left Germany.
Received by Other Nations.
Australia took 5000 as part of a
three-year program. Brazil and Ar
gentina took several thousand. Large
numbers have been given temporary
homes in various countries until they
could find permanent entry into
other nations.
The Intergovernmental Commit
tees functions have been threefold
To induce the German government
to facilitate the emigration of the
refugees in an orderly fashion; to
induce the governments making up
the committee to cooperate whole
heartedly in receiving the refugees
and to seek lands for mass immigra-
ton.
1t is estimated there are about
100000 Jewish refugees still left in
Germany. Through the efforts OF
the London committee, the German
government has promised to super
wise their emigration so that they
will not be dumped helter-s -skelteI
