Jews In Poland Want
Children Returned

WARSAW OTA)-A delegation
of the Jewish Coordination Com
mittce this week visited the Polish
Vice Minister for Education, M.
Bienkowski, and asked him for
government aid in recovering Jew
ish children who were placed in
non-Jewish homes during the Nazi
occupation when their parents were
exterminatcd by the Germans.
The coordination committee is
now dispatching representatives all
over the country to organize the
work of returning Jewish children
to Jewish community institutions.
In most cases these children must
be bought" back from the non
Jews who gave them shelter. The
average price for child today is
100000 z1otys. 1t is estimated that
Jewish organizations i'll Poland
have spent several million zlotys
in redeeming Jewish orphans.
Many of the children, having liv-
ed for several years in a non-J Jewish
atmosphere, do not believe thai
they are Jews and refuse Jewish
care. Especially difficult is the re-
covery of those Jewish children who
have been given asylum in monast-
cries and in Polish homes for or
phans. These institutions refuse, III
most cases, to surrender the child
rcn to the Jewish community.

contributions to the District Motor
Vehicle Parking Agency SO it may

should be sent to Duane Paul, chair
man of the Junior Boards Traffic
and Safety Committee, Room 2O4
Evening Star Building. Mr.. Paul
will forward the money and recon-

passed Deficiency Act.

Eligible for Release

The Marine Corps will lower its
point score for discharge to As
points on February l, making 1900
more officers and men eligible for
release.
The five-point cut in the dis
charge score, announced by the Ma
rine Corps last night, Is the first
reduction of Marine points since
last october. Marines figure points
the same way as the Army
The Marines made no change in
the date after which points cannot
be counted. To be eligible for re-
lease February /. Marine will have
had to accumulate his As points
before September /, 1945.
The Marine Corps announced
that three divisions and supporting
troops, or approximately half the
former combat strength of the
corps, are still on occupation duty
in Japan and China.
Reductions in the corps strength,
it was explained, have been effected
chiefly by curtailing training and
logistic facilities and reducing war
time activities to a peacetime basis.
Since vi day, the Marine Corps
has released 1872 900 men and women
During the same period, 5,l04 men
were inducted under selective
