489 Jewish Refugees
Reach Ellis Island
On Wayto New Homes
By the Assoeiotsd Press

JERSEY CITY. N. j., Feb. 28.-
A pilgrimage of 489 Jews from the
Orient passed the Statue of Liber-
ty last night to await the last lap
of a journey which is carrying
them to new homes half way
around the world.
While police cordons held back
crowds of relatives and Well-Wish-
ers from the Metropolitan New
York area, the refugees arrived on
a 20-car special train and were
loaded quickly on a ferry to be
taken to Ellis Island.
There they will be processed by
immigration authorities for the
final journey which will take AL
of them to Israel and 48 to their
old homes in Europe.
Earlier yesterday the refugee
train stopped for two hours in
the Potomac Yards in Alex
andria, Va, Just long enough to
change engines and then con-
tinued on to Jersey City,
The pilgrimage started in
Shanghai, where 488 refugees
one more was born at sea-had
been gathered from the homes
they had occupied since being
forced to flee from Europe.
At San Francisco six days ago
they boarded the special train
which brought them across the
United States. They will leave
again on Thursday aboard the
Army transport Gen. Stewart on
the final lap of their journey.
The trip is part of Operation
Freedom" financed by Jewish
charity groups. Another refugee
group from the Far East will make
the trip at a later date, spokes-
men said.
Persons in the crowd which
waited for several hours for the
arrival of the refugee train got
only within shouting distance Of
the pilgrim group at the Central
Railroad of New Jersey terminal.
The DPS were led from the cars
onto the ferries to Ellis Island.
One crying couple said they had
recognized a relative they had not
seen in 25 years. They said he
had fled with his family from
Berlin to Brussels in 1882 and
then to Shanghai in 1889 and
was going now to Israel.

survivorship feature, which now
provides this benefit only if the
employe agrees to accept reduced
annuity on retirement. Otherwise
a dependent cannot get an an
nuity when they die. Employe
groups want the survivorship ben
ef1ts given to dependents in all
cases without retired employees
having to take a cut in their an
nuities.
The commission, however, does
not favor this provision.
In addition, the commission is
opposed to any lowering OF the
retirement age. 1t also opposes
larger annuities for employees al
ready retired.
INJURY BENEFITS-The Bud
get Bureau has given its approval
to the legislative recommended
tions of the United States En-
ployment Compensation Board
which would greatly liberalize
Federal workers injury compen-
sation benefits.
The boards recommendations
would result in the removal OF
the present $116 monthly maxi
mum ceiling in benefits and
would give Federal employees with
dependents pensions equal to Is
per cent of their salary. The
present computation is 66 per
cent.
The measure is considerably
more liberal than several bills now
before Congress which also would
give Federal workers IS per cent
of their earnings in compensa-
ton benefits, but which would
limit the maximum payments to
1925 a month.
It is expected that the measure
will be sponsored in Congress by
top administration men in both
the House and Senate. Employe
groups are trying to get early
hearings on the legislation in
both the House and Senate Labor
Committees.

Meat Diet Found
Benefit to Babies
| Six Weeks Old
BY the Asseeiofed Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-A new re-
search indicates that a baby six
weeks old will thrive on a diet
which includes meat.
The study, made by DR.. H. W..
Schultz of Swift Research Labor
atories, is reported in the publi-
cation, National Live Stock Pro-
ducer.
DR.. Schultz said a small amount
Of strained meat was added to
the customary formula given to
one group of babies while another
group remained on the usual diet.
For the one group. the meat
content gradually was increased
over a period of eight weeks until
it amounted to about Is per cent OF
the diet.
At the end of the period, DR..
Schultz found that "meat-fed
babies slept better, showed less
tendency toward anemia, and
were generally in a better physi-
cal condition than those receiving
no meat supplement.

hearings on the measure and
committee insiders say that the
draft of the measure has abeen
completed and is awaiting action.
The measures hackers want to
get the bill before the Senate as
soon as possible, realizing that
they might be facing a time-ele-
ment factor. The legislation is
still before the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee and faces consid-
cradle revisions. That is why the
subcommittee is, being urged tu
take action on the measure some
time this week at the latest.
STATE DEPT. - State Depart
ment officials say that Secretary
of State Acheson had quietly be-
gun putting some of the Hoover
Commissions reorganization pro-
posals for the department into ef-
feet even before the Hoover report
came out the other day.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Ach-
eson, who is a member of the
Hoover group, is in favor of the
reorganization recommendations.
incidentally. Assistant Secretary
of State John E. Peurifoy is vir-
tually certain to be appointed
Deputy Undersecretary of State
for administration, the job that
the Hoover group has recommend
ed be established. Creation of
the position depends on Congress,
which is expected to go along
on the matter.
The second undersecretary posi-
tion-that of Deputy Undersecre-
tary for Policy and Operations
is considered likely to go to Dean
Rusk. who is now Assistant Secre-
tary of State for the United Ma
tions. In this event. DurWard v.

ant, would probably get the Assist

Taft, Flanders Claim
Compromise Housing
bill Saves 5 Billion
By the eAssoeiotsd Press

Two Republican Senators-Taft
Of Ohio and Flanders of Vermont
to-day claimed potential saw
ings of more than $4,000, 900, 900
under the compromise housing
bill now awaiting Senate action.
The reduction results, they said.
from a cutback in original plans
of the Democratic administration
for building of 10000 subsidized
low-rental public housing units in
the next seven years.
The compromise sent to the
Senate with the backing of II
Republicans and an equal number
of Democrats calls for 10000 of
these subsidized units in six years.
Its the difference between
$3O8 900 900 and $3.50. 100000 over
the next 40 years." Senator Taft
explained.
The original Democratic bill
called for Federal subsidies Of up
to $3.50, ,000, 900 a year for 40 years
or a possible maximum OF $18,-
900, 100000.
The $3O8, 100000 over 40 years
is $12,32O.00o 900 or $500, 900, 900
less.
Senator Flanders said Congress
"often forgets how much some
thing will cost overall by looking
only at the annual cost"
Under the public housing pro-
posal, local communities or hous-
ing agencies must furnish land,
utilities and plans and make the
contracts. The Federal Govern
ment then supplies the deficit be-
tween the monthly amount re-
quired to pay the long time costs
and that supplied by the local
agency included rents from the
loW-income occupants. .
