Army admits the necessary ma
terials are very short.
So is fuel. There is no such thing
as central heating, of course. The
more fortunate DPS managed to
get hold Of a pot-bellied stove for
their room, but must scrounge for
wood or coal. The majority, how
ever, will still depend on the
cheapest and most easily available
form of fuel: body heat produced
by five, six and seven people
crowded into one small room.
Winter also means that the DIP
is deprived of his most popular
form of entertainment: Taking
walks in the neighborhood coun-
tryside, or gathering with friends
on the camp grounds to talk and
"schmooze." The outdoors, after
all, affords the DPS their surest
and only chance for some privacy.
In addition to a worsening of
physical conditions, the Jew in
Germany probably faces even more
serious food problems. Last spring
saw the Army reduce the 1920
calory diet for certain groups to
1000. There also was a steady
worsening of the food making up
the 1000 calories. Doctors and
other authorities close to the DIP
problem have warned that the DIP
diet is a "slow process of starva-
tom since it consists almost
wholly of starches and contains
little fats and proteins.
Among those most seriously af-

ham Hyman. All have been MAX
ing almost superhuman efforts to
make the plight of the displaced
Jews in Europe easier and will
continue to do so, but the job is
a tremedous one.
With local conditions such as
they are it is therefore not sur
prising to note that the morale Of
the people has sunk to a new low
during the past year. It would
be mistake, however, to blame
it entirely or even to large de-

fected by the food situation are
the $4,000 Jewish children, especi-
ally those living in institutions,
and those between 10 and 10 years
of age. The group living in chill
dren centers has no one to get
out into the rural countryside and
scrounge nourishing foods, such as
fresh milk and vegetables, meats
and eggs for them. AS a result,
the authorities report that the 10
10 age group has been steadily
losing weight instead of gaining
weight, which children in this age
category usually do because of
their growth.
Life for the Jew in Germany
also has been made more difficult
by several new Army measures.
One forbade entry into DIP camps
of any new infiltrees entering the
American zones of Germany and
Austria. The other ordered the
closing of small installations and
consolidating them with larger
units. This meant that such install
lations as hachscaroths, where
Jewish youths are studying agri-
cultural training, plus individual
kibbutzim and children's centers
probably would have to close or
consolidate.
But if the past year witnessed
heartbreaking food and physical
difficulties plus new measures of
a restrictive nature, the future
promised even gloomier develop
ments. The International Refugee
Organization replaced UNRRA in
providing the bulk of the care
for DPS. But when IRO was sup
posed to assume it's duties on July
I the new organization was far
behind in it's plans and program
and was forced to maintain the
status quo for a two-month in
term period. This meant that the
individual DIP hardly noticed the
period where probably would be
lots of changes.
IRO almost never got started
because of the lukewarm attitude
of many Of the United Nations.
Now that it is functioning it has
only the proverbial shoestring with
which to operate. Sharp personal
reductions plus reduced aid and
effectiveness are almost inevitable.
Thus, the Jews win be in even
worse straits despite the heroic eff
forts of such organizations as the
Joint Distribution Committee, the
Jewish Agency for Palestine, the
Central Committee of Liberated
Jews and the office of the Ad-
visor on Jewish Affairs, (now

Rabbi Philip Bernstein) and the
Offices legal advisor, Major Abra-

And the Jew in Germany not

Of keeping warm and dry. Most of

unimportant. The big problem is

were off the daily permissible III
cent limit.
The reaction from the $500 in
early trading, which marked the
second time in the SO year history
Of the Board of Trade that wheat
sold for $500 Or more, came as
the result of a report that the
government is negotiating with in

spring wheat at the openings OF
