What does the Celler bill do? I shall not take the time this afternoon to recite the entire contents of House bill 4567. I invite attention to the fact that among other things it extends the operation of the displacedpersons law to a year beyond the time when the International Refugee Organization is to discontinue certain action which it has already taken with respect to care and maintenance. either in or out of Europe. The importance of the fact that the Celler bill extends the operation of the displacedpersons law a year beyond the time of the discontinuance of said action of the International Refugee Organization appears from the fact that in the Displaced Persons Act it is provided that(b) "Displaced person" means any displaced person or refugee as defined in Annex I of the Constitution of the International Refugee Organization and who is the concern of the International Refugee Organization. In addition to this interesting fact with respect to House bill 4567. it is to be noted that the bill changes the socalled cutoff date. that is to say. the date after which persons who had entered Germany. Austria. or Italy. will not be considered as being eligible displaced persons.
