under UNRRA care in the French oc cupation zone of Germany, and ap pro;ximately, 3,663 displaced persons in the zone occupied by the French in Austria. Of these, the largest grouP6 are 13,245 Poles and 1,197

Yug06lavs.

Continuation Of Pall Program

The spring repatriation program is

in +ffect a c"ntin·.iat!on of lie repat riatlon program oegun last 11.utumn and interrupted by the winter. As a result of the autumn repatriation prog ram, some 91,000 Poles returned to

Poland from the occupation zones of

Gennany alone.

This spring It Is e:xpected that many

thousands of displaced persons will avail themselves of the opportunity to return to their home countries from displaced persons centers in Ger many, Austria, Italy and the Middle East.

Displaced persons in the U.S. zone

returning to their native countries this spring will receive an e:xtra

60-day food ration from the American

government through the U.S. Anny, it was announced jointly this week by EUCOM, UNRRA U.S. zone head quarters and UNRRA DP Operations headquarters in Paris.

Effective April 15

In announcing the offer, which became

effective April 15, both General Lucius

D. Clay, Commander-in-Chief, and

Paul B. Edwards, UNRRA zone direc•

tor, urged that DPs take advantage of the program and return to their home• lands.

As In last fall's repatriation aid

program, which saw more then 48,000

Polish DPs go home from the U.S.

zone, the Army will supply the food and UNRRA will distribute it to the

DPs. All DPs are eligible for the spring

food offer.

Face Uncertain Future

"These of you who choose to re• main here in the U.S zone ralhdl' than reti.m home face uncertain con• ditions," General Clay warned, add· ing "assistance from the American people through the U.S. forces here cannot continue indefinitely.""

The zone director for the inter•

national relief and rehabilitation agency told the DPs that UNRRA would aid them in arranging their repatriation this spring but "UNRRA will end its operations in Germany on June 30 and what will happen to you after June 30 is not for us to predict or promise."
