Barkley Predicts Senate Approval of D. P. Bill
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Vlee-Presldent Alben Barkley, ddtlres.s- Ing the nationai conference of the United Service for New Ameri¬ cans here, predicted that the U. S. Senate would approve legisia- tloir Intended to liberalize the Displaced i'ersons Act of 1948 at its current session. He expressed confidence that removal of the dfe- crlminatory provisions would enable "additional .refugees to come to America.'' He lauded the U.S.N.A. and other voluntary agencies aiding DP immigrants reaching the United States.
Harry Rosenfleld, member of the Displaced Persons Commis¬ sion, a.ssalled the toes of liberalized D. P. legislation and denounc¬ ed efforts to^"be3mlrch the displaced persons program." He stated that such efforts constitute one of three crises threatening the success of the "resettlement Job started by the American .people, when the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 was jjassed."

Maurice Samuel Makes Return Engagement
Maurice Samuel, noted author, lecturer and critic, will make a return engagement at the Hlllel Foundation Sunday evening, at 8 o'clock. Hp will lecture on "Israel in Transition." Mr. Sam¬ uel Just returned from a sum¬ mer visit to Israel and will have an interesting, cogent story to tell.
Mr. Samuel has spoken on the Ohio State campus during the past two years and his return
visit has heen anticipated by many friends on the campus and In the community. For the last 25 years- he has served as an in¬ terpreter of Jewish values lo the world. In particular he is con: cerned with the present and future of Jewry, not simply with its survival, but with its con¬ tinuity as a significant force In the shaping of human destiny. His books have attracted world¬ wide attention. Among them are:
Harvest in the Desert, which de¬ scribes the growth of Palestine, The World of Sholom Aleichem, an Insight into the works of this famous .Jewish humorist; and- The Prince of the Ghetto, deal¬ ing with the life and work of I. L. Peretz.
Mr. Samuel's lecture will be the first In a series of outstand' Ing programs to be presented by the Hillel Foundation during January and February.
Ahavath Sholom Looks Forward to Big Year
fects of the present Displaced Persona Act on "Innocent and helpless displaced persons caught by the law's spiderweb of arbitrary and capricious re¬ strictions constitute another crisis in the resettlement pro¬ gi'am," he said. The third crUfis, Mr. Rosenfleld added, was the "callous disregard exhibited by some people" toward the 250,000 displaced persons "who will be left in D.P. camps and areas on June 30, 1950, if the present law Is not libe^"allzed and extended."
Edwin Rosenberg, outgoing president of the U.S.N.A., dis¬ closed that 100,000 homeless European J^ws were brought to the United States and resettled here since 1945 by the U.S.N.A. at a cost exceeding $37,000,000. He said this sum was only a por¬ tion qf the amount spent by American Jews during the five- year period, since it does not in¬ clude sums spent by local Jew¬ ish communities for the care df displaced persons in their midst.
President Truman, in a mes¬ sage ' to the conference, said: "The plight of the many thous¬ ands of people still homeless tn Europe Is a matter of great con¬ cern to all freedom-loving men and women. We may indeed take pridq In the fact that the United State? has kept its gates open to' rescue many of these displaced (persons from the want nnd mis¬ ery that has been their lot for years.
"The program carried on by Uplted Service for New Ameri¬ cans in behalf of the American Jewish community for the wel¬ fare ot their fellpw human be¬ ings Is an impressive demonstr?i- tton ol democracy functioning at' Its best. Such a program Is desefving of the support and re- spinet of ell Americans," the mes- MgB said.
