You have 100.000 who came into our camps in 1946 and 1947 from behind the iron curtain. and probably 50 percent of them are Communists. They tell you they will be screened. Listen. that is one of the most laughable things I ever heard of. The President issued a directive in December 1945. written by Samuel Rosenman. in which he set up 90 percent of the nonpreference quotas for DPs. It had some safeguards In it. It says: Visas shall be distributed fairly among persons of all faiths. creeds. and nationalities. I desire that special attention be devoted to orphaned children. to whom it is hoped the majority of visas will be issued. So how many orphaned children have come in? About 400.
