The next morning this official reported to me that the chauffeur. upon returning to the officials residence in Amman. went to his wife and apologized for having falsified. He said to her that he did hold a ration card. It was rented out to some other person whose name I do not now recall. As the Senator from Wyoming and I stated in the cablegram. some people who may or may not have been refugees have accumulated large numbers of ration cards. They rent them by the month. as one would rent a house. The person who rents a card from another draws rations. which he either consumes or sells in the black market.
Identified stereotypes
Some refugees are fraudulently using ration cards for personal gain.
