WASHINGTON

WASE11NGION-
A first-hand report on the Dis
ulaced Persons will soon be laid
before President Truman. 1t will
be made by UgO Carusi, former
Commissioner Of immigration and
Naturalization. The President ap-
pointed him last August to a spe-
cial post in the State Department
where he was to concern himself
solely with immigration matters
relating to displaced persons. Mr..
Carulsi went to Europe last fall
and spent several months getting a
closeup of conditions in prepare
ton for his new job. He carries
. three-way representatiOn-White
House, State Department and At
tOrney General-and in this triple
capacity will act as MasiOn with
the Congress.
The report is expected to be
brief, and to encompass series of
recommendations for a DIP en-
trance program.
With the principle behind adj
mission to this country of DPS
clearly outlined by the Administra-
ton during the previous session OF
Congress, the matter is now reach
ing the more practical stage of
what number, if not the total AGO.
600 proposed in the StrattOn bill,
the Congress would accept.
This then leads to such utilitar-
ian questions as the basis for Sc
lection of the displaced persons
and what will happen to those
coming to the United States. How
will they get here? Where will
they land? How will they be alb
sorbed?
The United Service for New
Americans is doing yeOman serv-
ice in the preparatory groundwork.
In addition to the outstanding con-
tributiOn in their own field among
Jewish DPS, they are helping
other voluntary agencies, with less
experience. Part of Mr.. Carusi's
work is to coordinate plans, Of
government and voluntary agencies
for the best absorption of the
DPS.
One of the first problems to be
dealt with, aside from the all
important one of legislation, is
that of transportation. There are
three possibilities.
1. The voluntary agencies might
acquire the necessary ships, con-
vert them to meet the passenger
needs, get the crews, and lay in
me supplies. Because of the ire
mendOus expense involved, this is
considered undesirable and un-
likely.
z. Congress, in passing DIP leg
station, might include an appro-
pnation to transport those to be
admitted. Here members of Con-
sress might argue that the work
ana finances of the International
Aerugee Organization, of which
me United States is a member,
would be duplicated.
:. The IRO, as part of Its re-
sttlement program, should have a
uOget sufficient to cover trans
pOrtatiOn to the United States, as
"eH as to Brazil, Australia, Can
s1A and other areas where some
DPs have already gone under IRO
auspices.

JOHN HEDDE AGAIN TALKS UNIVERSITY, ROTARY CLUB TODAY

John Hedde, senior student at the University of Alaska, spoke before the Rotary Club today at their reg ular noon luncheon. He has been visiting in Juneau, speaking before civic groups and over the radio nl an effort to focus attention on the serious plight of the University.
 He said that the college may be forced to close it's doors next semes- ter through a lack of finances which can be attributed to political bung- ling.
 Several plans have been suggest ed to alleviate the situation, he said, among them a Territorial bond issue of five million dollars. It is unlikely that such proposal could pass through Congress. En- dowments have also been mentioned, but the University has never re- ceived any. and we can not plan on anything so indefinite.
 The plan which we are relying on now is one suggested that cor porations and wealthy individuals lean the University enough money to survive during the biennium. We will need a minimum of $200,000 of which $75,000 has already been advanced by the Alaska Airlines Captain A. E. Lathrop, and the AL aska Steamship Company.
 Tt is our hope" Hedde conclud- ed, that civic, labor, and fraternal groups can be made to realize our situation, and that they will bring their influence to bear on the pro- per authorities to alleviate the Uni versity's financial straits"
 Ray Rand was appointed to select a committee to make plans for the i Rotarians concession at the Golden North Frolic, being held here or January 29, 30 and 31.
 A letter of thanks to Edward Keithahn from Guy Prince, now serving a sentence at McNen Peni- tentiary for the staying of his wife was read to the group. A gift of To- tenn pictures had been sent to Prime; on tehalf of the club.
 Dr. William M. Whitehead an nounced that a fireside chat would be held at his home at 8 o'clock this evening for those interested in the construction of sign advertising Juneau and surrounding areas. He said Manuel Parades had agreed to allow the club to build the sign ever his workshop.
 The meeting was concluded with the showing of the film, ski Hawks" loaned by Howard MacLean of the local CPR office
