The Senator said that these persons are not displaced persons. With that I most strenuously disagree. The amendment will permit to be considered. under the displacedpersons bill. persons who were in camps on January 1. 1948. The camps were officially closed by General Clay in April 1947. This amendment will permit. on a percentage or quota basis. persons to be considered as displaced persons. eligible for admission who were still in those camps on January 1. 1948. The Senator from West Virginia says they are simply emigrants westward from the eastern countries. With that I thoroughly disagree. It will be recalled that there was a pogrom in May 1946.
