ters operated by UNRRA. 'It is
far more merciful to establish cer-
tain news of death, than it is to let
the sad search continue hopelessly
and endlessly," Miss de La Pole
says. There Is the matter too, of
future property rights. remarriage
and whether or not individuals shall
stay on, return to their own coun-
tries or immigrate to others.
The master index file is stated
almost entirely by displaced persons
in the employ Of UNRRA. Many
are men apd women of previous
distinction in science, medicine and
in other special fields and profess
sions.
All inquiries are handled In the
language of the person who makes
it to avoid delays and possible err
rors in translation.
The greatest number Of missing
and displaced persons in Germany
today is among the Poles. This is
to be expected since Poland was the
first country to be occupied by Hit
Ter, and the plans for its occu-
pancy and the deportation OF its
people as political prisoners and
slave workers was much more thor
ough and complete than 1t was
with other countries in subsequent
German occupations.
"One Of the pressing needs In
the development Of postwar Europe
is the return of these missing and
displaced persons to some feeling
OF security and hope for the fu-
ture. If they are to be a continuing
asset and not a growing liability"
Miss de la Pole states. Many are
difficult to manage. This is to be
understood. They have had no
opportunity to be normal indi-
viduals since the war began in
Europe"
Miss de Ia Pole, who was born in
Juneau. Alaska. and did her gradu-
ate college work in the School of
Social Service Administration at
the University of Chicago, Is re-
turning to the field of social serv-
ice work in this country again as
director of the Department of Vol

UNRRA Tracing Bureau Aids
Europe's Displaced Persons
By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

A pioneer service in humanitarian
sleuthing is being conducted through
UNRRA's Central Tracing Bureau
in Germany. Originally set up in
Frankfurt : on : the Main 1t is now
functioning In Arolsen. BY means
of this bureau, the final stages in
the mop-up work of one of Europe's
most elusive problems. the matching
up of missing persons among the
displaced population of Germany,
and the eventual return Of these
persons to their own countries, Is
now going forward.
The merciful purpose of this trac-
ing bureau, which is one of the most
exhaustive in modern times, is to
give every possible opportunity to
thousands of political deportees and
former slave workers still in Ger
many to obtain definite knowledge of
the missing members of their fam
lilies from whom they were ruthless
ly separated by Hitler's policies.
Miss Dorothy B. de la Pole, an
American social worker of national
distinction in the care of the tram
sient and the homeless, is the direc-
tor of the Central Tracing Bureau.
She has just returned to UNRRA'S
Washington headquarters after eight
months in Germany.
The bureau is being maintained in
the closest possible conjunction with
the four occupation zones in Ger
many controlled by the Americans,
the British, the French and the Rus
SLAMS. Each of these countries is
thoroughly and completely co-opera-
tive in its assistance with all of the
Others" Miss de la Pole emphasizes.
A master card file and index
has been set up against which the
available lists of missing persons
are checked. The more complete
this file is, the better it tabulates
and fits together missing links in
tracking down every possible sort

Dear Cap:

and the suggested poll is very, very
good.
Wheeler is around building his
fences and condemning everything
and everybody at Washington. If he
knows how everything should be han
died at the nations capitol, what or
earth is he doing out here? There is
no session of the congress being held
| in Montana, and | am sure no one will
miss him if he returns to his post OF

of many years, never heard any one
say 81 wish Bert were here" so it does
not look as if he were ever missed
very much.
He informed the Woolmen that we
had mo national wool policy" well if
he thinks as much of the Woolmen
as he would have them believe why
is he not back at his post of duty fight
ing for wool policy, or does he think
they should hand him wool policy
on copper platter?" Perhaps he
has come to the conclusion that he
has lost his usefulness as a senator

what he says, or what he means by

the block passing all of Hoovers corn
ers and come back to the starting
point without giving out one particle
of understandable information.
From the contacts he is making
around the state, | have come to the
conclusion that about go per cent of

D-Day CM Style

Cass, who was telling me this at thu
Veterans of Foreign Wars hall nea
the Chevrolet plant, said that he didn'
have any idea at the time what was
happening to buddy John.
John, who was in the bull session
said that what happened to him should
only happen to scab. His glider got
about 80 miles off course and crashed
near Caen. The British didn't take
this town until two months later, and
the Germans there weren't in any
mood to let John and the other Yanks
wait around
Eleven days and lot of shooting
later, John finally beat his way back
to the SD There he found Cass at a
first aid station getting a shapnel
wound on his hand dressed. AS they
remember, their reunion didn't pro-
duce any epigrams. Cass said, 81

said. "Hersheys super-seniority gives

John said that there had been plenty

guns. "But because GIN wanted a

nothing super about that deal"

| l have talked this matter of filing
q Progressive Republican for senator
over with a friend of mine, whom
believe is a very astute politician and
we have both come to the conclusion
that this idea can be worked and
worked successfully.
Al Shone, Maury's partner would
be our choice of candidate, of course
we do not know if he could be pre-
vailed upon to make the race, but he
would be the ideal candidate, from my
point of view. He has run for office
on the Republican ticket, is militant
ly progressive and is a good campaign
err He is a veteran of the First
World War, and is well fitted for the
office.
With good Progressive on the Re-
publican ticket it would have a ten
dency to keep them on their own side
Of the fence. And if they did not stay
there and Shone and Wheeler were
the nominees, Shone would stand a
very good chance of taking Wheeler
in the general election.
