ton of existing law and established
quotas. Congressional assistance in
the form of new legislation is needed
urge the Congress to turn its at
tention to this world problem, in an
effort to find ways whereby we can
fulfill our responsibilities to these
thousands of homeless and suffering
refugees of all faiths
L express appreciation to the
Congress for the attention already
being given to this problem, an ap-
probation which appears to be gen.
erously shared by the public with
increasing understanding of the
facts and of our responsibilities.
Problem Growing Out of War.
Because of the urgency of this
subject, I should like again to call
attention to some of its fundamen-
tai aspects. We are dealing here
solely with an emergency problem
growing out of the War-the dis
position of a specific group of in
dividuals, victims of war, who have
come into the hands of our own
and the other Western allied armies
of occupation in Europe.
I'VE should not forget how their
destiny came into our hands. The
Nazi armies, as they swept over
Europe, uprooted many millions of
men. women and children from their
homes and forced them to work for
the German war economy.
The NaziS annihilated millions
by hardship and persecution. Sur
vivorS were taken under the care of
the Western allied armies, as these
armies liberated them during the
conquest of the enemy Since the
end of hostilities, the armies Of oc-
cupation have been able to return
to their homes some 100000 of
these people.
Million Still Remain.
But there still remain, in the
Western zones Of Germany and
Austria and in Italy, close to 1000,-
600 survivors who are unwilling by
reason of political opinion and fear
vi pNtSCSuDlOli W lCbul II W tllC al CdS
where they once had homes. The
great majority come from the
Northern Baltic areas, Poland the
Russian Ukraine and Yugoslavia.
The new International Refugee
Organization, supported by the con-
tributions of this and other coun-
tries. will aid in the care and reset
tlement of these displaced persons.
But, as I have pointed out before,
the International Refugee Organiza-
tlon is only a service organization.
1t cannot impose its will on member
countries. Continuance of this or
ganization and our financial support
of its work will be required as long
as the problem of these homeless
people remains unsolved
TT is unthinkable that they should
be left indefinitely in camps in Eu-
rope. We cannot turn them out in
Germany into the community of the
very people who prosecuted them.
Moreover, the German economy, so
devastated by war and SO badly
oyercrowded with the return of peo-
pie of German origin from neighbor-
ing countries. Is approaching an
economic suffocation which in itself
is one of our major problems. Turn
ing these displaced persons into such
chaos would be disastrous for them
and would seriously aggravate our
problems there.

Over St. Elizabeth S

The District Commissioners today
are on notice they will have a battle
on their hands If they attempt to
take over st. Elizabeth's Mental Hos
pital from the Federal Government
for use as District master hospital
and welfare center.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, nation
ally known superintendent of the
institution, yesterday condemned the
proposal as return to the Middle
Ages"
1t was his first public comment
since District Budget Ofacer Walter
l.. Fowler last month urged the city
heads to seek acquisition of the 363-
acre institution in Southeast Wash
ington.
Fowler's Argument.
Mr.. Fowler based his argument
mainly on the grounds that nearly
5000 of the 6,400 patients at st.
Elizabeth's at that time were Dis
trict charges for which the city
paid a daily board bill Of $3.55 cents.
He pointed out the city has no con-
troll over the amount of the board
bill which is to go to $3.70 soon.
This means the city will pay more
than Sc 5000, 900 to the institution dur
ing the year beginning July l, ne
charged.
Speaking before the Washington
graduates of Ward Belmont Col
lege Yesterday at the Mayfiower
Hotel, DR.. Overholser struck back.
He said st. Elizabeth's has been
well cared for by the Federal Gov
ernment, and he hoped it would re-
main there.
He pointed to the $12 100000 slash
made by the Commissioners In the
1948 budget of Health Officer George
C. Rutland as sample of what st.
Elizabeth's might look forward to
under city direction.

BIG GAMES SCHEDULED
 AT WEEKEND
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR

NEW YORK, Oct 14.-tR-With each succeeding Saturday in this dizzy football season it looks more and mere like Fritz Crisler, who turned down the coaching job at Califcrnla, and Lynn Waldorf, who didn't, will be looking across the field at each other in Pasadena on New Years Day.
 When California went looking tor a new coach at the end of a 1946 season in which the Golden Bears won only two games, Crisler was the No. l choice. But Crisler took one look at his prospective Wolverine roster and elected to stay at Michigan.
 Waldorf, who gave up a comfort able position at Northwestern and took tl.e California post on which Crisler turned his back, returned to the Big Nine country last Satur- day and sent his now-ferocious Bears wltziirg through Wisconsin to the tune of 48-7.
 Fourth Triumph
 That was the fourth triumph in four starts for California.
 Michigan, meanwhile, flattened Pittsburgh, 69-O, for it's third straighe one-sided conference win.
 While Michigan and California were winning with ease last week, such other powers as Notre Dame, Texas and Georgia Tech were more or less hard pressed to keep their records clean.
 Notre Dame relied on the passing of Johnny Lujack to turn back stubborn Purdue, 11-7. Texas bank ed chiefly on Bobby Layne's throw ing arm fer a 34-14 triumph over an Oklahoma team that covered 263 yards on the ground. And Geor- gia Tech found VIII tough to take 200.
 Majors In Good Sailing
 By the tuck of the draw, all five major. unkeaten and united clubs appear to have smooth sailing ahead this week as the accent swings more to conference play with important tests carded in ev- cry loon.

the retail chain stores, and buy in
lots of so to 100 boxes. each contain
ing 100 pounds of fish. Between large
scale sales, Mr.. Evans does a contin-
uous lover the counter" business with
individuals who prefer water front
shopping. Matrons in fancy cars, COL
ored housewives, Government workers
and homeward- bound husbands-all
kinds of people from Washington and
vicinity-stop by to inspect, haggle
and, eventually, buy.
Mr. Evans has been going through
this routine for more than Is years.
His cousin has been doing it for 20
years. They are typical of the boat
men who bring an average of 100000
pounds of fish to local dinner tables
each week. They do not bring in all
fish consumed here, since some
wholesale and retail dealers purchase
direct from the fishermen.
In early spring only five or six boats
will dock here each week. BY mid
season there will be between 10 and
IA boats They come up from Crisfield
on the Maryland side and Tangier
Island, Onancock and Herberton on
the Virginia shore of the Chesapeake.
They usually sell all their fish by
Friday and then head back
1t takes Bill Hundley of Onancock
IA hours to run up in his 47-foot
launch, the Tasco Lee, which he owns
with two brothers. He finds fish
selling an uncertain business because
of the variable prices. Early this
spring, he was wholesaling croakers
at $8 per hundred pounds, buck shad
at $40 and roe shad at $40. He was
retailing croakers at is cents pound,
buck shad at Is cents and roe shad
at 30 cents. The price usually comes
down a little on Fridays because the
men are anxious to dispose of their
wares and 60 home.
Some seasons, he says, you can't
make a dime. He has made the run
all the way to Washington and found
fish selling here for less than they
cost him. Then wharf charges and
the cost of icing the fish add up.
