Digest Of Statement by ?. J. znris
President of the American Friends of Lithuania

The Stratton Bill (H.R. 291O) is
the first real and comprehensive
step yet taken toward solution of
the problem of Europe's displaced
persons, P. J. Zuris, president of
the American Friends of Lithuania,
told the House immigration Sub
Committee holding hearings on the
measure.
"We are caring for them at enor-
nous cost, and yet we are demora-
lizing them by idleness, uncertain
ty and lack of fundamental liberty
he declared in stating, his support
Zuris emphasized that the argu-
ments advanced against the bill and
the welcome of 100000 DPS a yea,
over a period of four years are
ridiculous. There is work for them
he said, and new workers would aiC
and assist in relieving the housing
shortage. With respect to the argu.
ment that we have too many foreign
born now, he advanced the argu.
ment that the foreign-born popula
ton of 1920 constituted 13 per cent
of our population and only 8.S pc,
cent in 1910, reduction of 7,000,.
900.
"Would 100000 admitted over q
four year period make social and
economic problem'?". Zuris was
convinced it would not.
He pointed to the fact that even
around the great dam and irriga-
ton projects in the West, from
one to eight per cent of the popu,
lation left during the war. There
fore, there's plenty of room. Ir
irrigation farming these DPS could
feed 5O,OOO,OO0 people and create
enormous wealth. eve could easi,
ly absorb 3O,e0O,OOO people to ou,
own advantage he declared.

Charges UNRRA-Soviet
Alliance Against DPS
reprint from the nter-Catholic

reprint from the Inter Catholic
Press Agency, June 4, 1947)
Elliot M. Shirk, Director of In
ternational Aid for War Refugees,
recently sent an official message
to the IRO Preparatory Commits
sion in Lausanne, stating that the
Soviet government and the UNR-
RA authorities are systematically
sabotaging all assistance to the re-
fugees.
Shirk's charges, were summarized
as follows:
1. Active opposition of the So
viets and UNRRA to the planned
resttlement Of the refugees abroad
2. Harsh treatment of refugees
and gradual worsening of theil
condition.
8. Packing displaced persons de,
pots and camps with Soviet and pro-
Soviet officials.
4. Preventing displaced persons
from obtaining independent work.
5. Holding displaced persons in
huge barracks and forcing them tc
resign their homes and work.
6. Depriving displaced persons OF
the possibility of migrating west,
ward.
Shirk charges Paul Edwards, UN
IRA Director, of constantly aiding
the Soviets. Instead of decentlJ
repatriating those who wish to &c
back, UNRRA officials use frighten
ing and coercive methods. 81 an
sure" said Mr.. Shirk, "that Ameri
ca never wanted the refugees to bt
treated in such a manner"
Lately UNRRA officials have beer
applying the disgusting policy O.
charging with treason those refugees
who do not want to return to theil
countries.
Director Shirk mentioned two ap
paling and scandalous events which
took place in Austria during tn
| two past months. Two groups O
refugees, emigrating to Brazil, wer'
forced out of their trains by French
officials obeying Soviet directives
The Russians said that war criml
nails or Soviet citizens might b.
in those groups. However, the iden
tity of the emigrants had beer
conclusively proven before they ha'
received their Brazilian visas.

WHAT'S NEW?
(In Cleveland)

THE st. George C. w. v. Post
613 Softball League has completed
five weeks of play and the standings
find the Lasnik Cafe outfit on top.
The teams play four games a week
with Fridays open for practice or
rained out games. This year the
first three teams will share in prize
money so that the boys have an
extra reason for wanting to win.
Regular city umpires have eliminat-
ed much of the trouble that was
encountered last year.
Last years champs, the Lasnik
Cafes won four straight up until
last Monday when the. Sukys' out
fit dumped them 8-6. Lasnik's
usually tight defense fell apart in
this game and cost them the vic
tory. The Sukys' outfit played in
the league last year as the indepen-
dent Spades. They don't look too
flashy but their 81 record speaks
for itself. The Mermaid Club en-
try should give the leaders plenty
of trouble Their two fine pitchers
held Joe's Bar to one hit in beat
ing them 11-0 and they beat

June Is, 1947)
Twenty thousand Detroit Lith-
uanians joined mutely this Sunday
on the seventh anniversary of Rus
sia's, occupation of their native land
in an appeal of the League for the
Liberation of Lithuania for U. S.
aid in emancipating their nation
from the Red rule. "
Lithuania, which, in the fifteenth
century extended from the Baltic
to the Black Sea and east almost
to Moscow, was partitioned by Rus
sia, Prussia and Austria in 1876.
An independent Lithuania which
grew out of World War was over
whelmed by Russia on June 15,
1910.
A radio address by Detroit born
Thomas Dombrauskas, who grew to
manhood in Lithuania and fled the
Russian occupation only four short
months ago, touched off the solemn
anniversary observance here Sat-
urday night.
DR.. ]. J. Sims, vice president of
the League for the Liberation OF
Lithuania, assisted in the arrange
ments for the program.
