The Annual Report of the Census Bureau. just released. indicates that the greatest unemployment for the year was in the ranks of discharged Korean veterans. In October 1952 about 7 percent of these veterans were looking for work compared with 2 percent for other men. One other short paragraph and I am not going to trespass further on your. time: Witnesses before the Senate subcommittee on immigration testified in 1953 that over 2.000 warrants had been issued for the arrest of displaced persons admitted under our displaced persons program and accused of anarchism or subversion. While this figure may be somewhat high (Mr. Arens of the Senate Judiciary Committee estimates the figure is probably closer to 1.200) it is nonetheless indicative of the difficulty of screening these refugees adequately. That is all I have to say. I yield back the balance of my time.
