Senate Unit Approval
Likely for U. 5. Role in
Refugee Organization
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee approval of United States par
ticipation in the proposed Interna-
tional Refugee Organization. which
Secretary Of State Marshall has
termed IAN important element of
our foreign policy" was termed IAN
important element of our foreign
policy" was forecast last night by
several committee members.
The committee held brief hear
ing on the proposal yesterday, with
Secretary of War Patterson, Under
secretary of State Acheson and As
sistant Secretary of State John Hill
dring appearing in support of the
agency.
Mr.. Acheson read a letter from
Gen. Marshall stating his belief that
IRO would advance the problem of
caring for and finding permanent
homes for 100000 displaced per-,
sons in Austria, Germany and Italy
ito its permanent solution"
II therefore urge as an important
element of cur foreign policy that
the Congress support the efforts we
have made thus far by authorizing
the United States to participate in
this organization" the Secretary
stated.
Congress to Approve.
The committee is expected to
write into the resolution a clause
that Congress have the final say on
any important agreement, reached
between this country and IRO. Yes
terday's hearing was on a resolution
offered by Chairman Vandenberg
and Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas.
Several members expressed fear
that the proposal as drawn would
permit the President to bypass i'm
migration laws and allow unlimited
immigrants to enter this country.
Senator Vandenberg asked Mr..
Acheson to revise the language
completely to cover the point
raised" Mr.. Acheson agreed to do
this
Testifying that he earnestly sup
ports" United States participation
in IRO, Mr.. Patterson said the Army
was anxious to turn its job of han
ding refugees and displaced persons
over to a civilian agency at once.
= U. S. Bearing Expense.
He added that thus far American
taxpayers had paid, through the
Army, 100 per cent of the costs for
clothing, feeding and sheltering"
refugees in the American zones.
Mr.. Hilldring, estimating that
100000 displaced persons were under
United States care, said this Gov
eminent was spending at least $780,
100000 this fiscal year on homeless
persons. If we joined IRO, he said,
the cost would be about $73,000,000
next year.
The State Department official,
former general, described the present
temporary inter-Governmental COM
mittee for refugees as "a formula
for pandemonium." He said the
United States should not try to set
up its own refugee organization.
President Truman urged Congress
on Monday to approve the United
States joining IRO "as soon as pos
sible." Charter of the organization
was drawn up by the General As
