A, IV. FOOD
Budget On the 8th February information ~·received from Washington to the
ef'feot that a f'urther sum of' approximatelyj~.,tGOC. would be made available for additional UNRRA food shipments to Austria. This sum is subjec~ to certain reservations and to the possible necessity of aco8I)ting part in the fonn of~ment in kind by Czeohoslovakia from such sur_:a,lus foodstuffs as might be available f'ran that country.
Balance of Programme
. : · The lack until 26 February of a. detailed breakdmm of' the ad.di• tional tonnage to be covered by the above credit made impossible a full statement for Wa.shin~ton of desired ~riorities for these commitment~. On the basis of unofficial information received, however, numerous conferences were· held during Feb""Uary with rep·~esentatives of the Austrian Government and with the British and American Elements of the Allied Oanmission in an attempt to co-ordinate the eonmi tment of this addidional $ 2.0,.000,000 cred.i t with the British and .:ullerican credits potentially av~ilable for expenditure in whole or in part on additional food shipments to Austria. Agreement was reached on the following points: -
a) that expenditure provisionally allooated for meat should be reduced, and that palm kernels and whale oil should be procured instead to penni t tne. adequate processing of purchases of copra. already made.
b) that deliveries of potatoes from Czechoslovakia believed to be inclqde·d in
o)
the programme should be cancelled in favour of addi tic{.al ?Ulses. · '
that au~hority should Qe given to procure 1,000 ton~ of sunflower~seed oil fran Hungary for immediate delivery.
In view, however, of infonnation received from Washington that even minor changes in commitments u.:.reaay made by them must be put into effect beforo the 1st March, it appears doubtful whether any effeotive a~tion will be ta.ken to implement these requests.
r I The Washington statement of the balance of food to be shipped after l January ,1,47, showed that several items believed to have been oqvered by the original programme are now to be charged against the additional~ 19,500.000. The principal items concerned are 9,700 tons of pulses and 690 tons of fats. Because the old and new progi,onmes have been merged it has beeljl difficult to fthedc this apparently serious over-estimate of ex,,enditure against the old food rtildget. •
Infer.nation received on 26 Febru~ notifies the following tonnages ~ availab.1.e fc't' 1!'ni."7Jlent ( ~n:inst the ne-v; and old Prcgr'3..'11~·e"i) -:..f: .. r ·, ' 1 '3 ; st J4Jl-Uary ).9• -: : -

Distribution
., ,. • e , ~ serious bottleneck in fann mo.chinary di1tribution has continued ~az:.tiully due to the shortage of waggons, but mainly due to the shortage of coal. !ruring January ~d rurt of February there was .n complete prohibition of o.11 goods
. transpor.t· exce:,t for r-oo.l and food, ~ich seriotu1ly affectec;l. the distribution of . fa.:rm machinery from Vi~nna to· the provinces. ; .. s a result the .stores and assembly Bh0ps of finis assembling the farm machinery have become overcrowded, and with the
~ continued ~ival of fo.rm .mo.chinory from Trieste at the end of the month some of the · · .. - firms havo still had to store ~oth assembled mo.chines and unassembled ma.chinos
· in very unfavouro.ble pln.ces. This ho.s been forribly brought to the attention of the : .. ustri.'.ll'l authorities, with the wo.rning that thic hold-up on distribution of fo.rm machinery will very seriously hamper preparation o.nd harvest of this yea:rrs crop and o.lso, due to the bo.d conditions of storage, ia very liable ta retard the pro-·duotion of er.ops in the next few ye~rs. ·

During :B,ebrua.ry only 1,'630 waggons ·loaded with 24,493 gross metri~ tons were dispatched from port, These low figures (2,447 waggons carrying 38,501 t ons in January) were due t o several short period political dock strikes and ~o raip, wind and heavy snow-storms.

. . A mee~ing of the Mission Pruceeds -o~ S~le Committee was held on 2!3 February anc'. vras attended by two reprcsen~ative_s._.of the Bundoskanzlerrunt, Discussion focuse c chiefly on the clauses prcvicling for •~vering the expenses of agencies succeeding UNRRJ., ns th0 .Austrian Uovernroont representatives expr.e.s.sedconsiderable antagonism to accepting responsibility f or an:,y expenditure which might be required for D.P. Operations owing to the strong ·political feeling in Austria against D.P,s. Finally it was agreed that the ;.ustrian Government should be urged,
.. :.; .. Gu accept thii:i provision in·view of the small:- absolute· mun likely to· be required by ~ successor agencies, the intirr.ate oO~ction be't'Tl'Oen the provisi.on ruld the spirit and work of UNRRA as embodied in the agreement with the Austrian Government of 5 April, 1946, and the ac eeptance of the provis:on by other recipient Governmt3nts. ·
. • · In view of the need for n.11 formal · agreements entered into by the 'Austrian Governnent to be p.resente~ to the Allied Council for approval, it was r.lso agreed· at·this meeting to try to avoid this further delay. The Mission would forward the agreed principles to vhe ;!ea¢! of the Buncleskanzleramt for approval by the Federal Chancellor. , When this approval was obtained the Chancellor would . incorporate the draft in a letter addressed to the Chief of the UNRRA Mission to Austria. A reply from the Mission would th,;m give full confirmation to the subjeet-matter of the Cha~cellor's.letter. This procedure is now being fu+filled.
Should the present draft be accepted, it would provide for the appointment by the Federal Chancellor of a Board of Truste·es by 1 }I.arch 1947. ""' , ~ !3oard is to consist of: -
(a) . a rep;esentative of the Ministry of Fina.nr"le. . (b) a repr~sentative of each Federal Ministry coneerned with the formulation a
of plans for relief and rehabilitation. w ( c) three independent members not cormni tted to any type of expen~ ture; one
of whom will be designated. Chairman of the Board by the Federal Chru~el.~or.
(The Mission has expressed a preference; which awaits the Gove:r'runent's approval,~ that the President of the Republic should appoint these officers rather than the Federal Chancellor,) ·
The expenditures from the Fund should serve as a memorial of UNRRA assistance and be certified by ~he "Federal Chancellery a.s projects which · would not have been undertaken but for t~e availability of the Proceeds. Projects normally covered by Budget provisions should be excluded from such expenditures, which should be spreo.d over not less than five years. The Board should select ... projects in acoordanoe with principles. incorporat~d in the understancling u~:1d. c.ft~r . consultation with UNRRA and/or its successors • . By 1 April 1947, t~e · B~ard ' should submit to UNRRA its basic p;rograrnme of expen<l:'1-tures, and ~stablish befure the close of UNRRJ~' a operations in l.ustria the amount to be spent on specific types of scrvit'les ..,a during 1947 and plans for a few definite projects. J. portion of thl..l Fund would be "W made available for the continuation :)f any of UNRRJ.' s functions trn.nsfer:r:_ed . to the United Nations or its agencies.

The Mission began to place Class II employees on the payroll at Central Headquarters Vienna in February 1946 but at the end of May there were still no Class II employees in the Zones as all DP ana/or local personnel were still paid by the Burgenneisters. During June, 325 Class II personnel in Zones and Central Headquarters, Vienna Tracing Bureau and Supply Centres were added +,o the uwm_:l payroll. No Class II are in ,ssembly Centres except in the Vienna J:.rea Team. By definition, a Cla~s II employee is one who is locally recruited, serves only in the country where he is recruited, is not subject to the t0nns and condi. tions of intcrn:itional employment, and whose sal:.::.ry is derived from local contributions.
No voluntary agency perRonncl could be arcredited to UN1iR:'1. prior tc the signing of' the ,.greer.icnt for Relief and 'Rehabilitation with the Aust·~i-,n Govenm1ent in l,pril. Voluntary agencies bego.n to work under lJNRR.,.'.1. agree!!lcnts in May. By definition~ Class III -perRonnel are employees of voluntary agencies who are administratively responsible to UNR."tu. They do not include personnel of voltm.tary o.g\.;ncies engaged on approved supplementary projects.
Revised to include redundent personnel awaiting transportation previously not reported.

I. Lower Austria:
(a) Typhoid Epidemic.
In an investigation undertaken on the 5th February 1947 there were acoording to the Lower .Austria Gesundheitsamt the following number of typh•id hospital oases in the Province: ·
Neunkirchen Baden Wiener Neustadt
100 53 6 (first cases reported).
Neunkirchen has only 4 beds free; Baden is having to refuse oases; Wiener Neustadt has sufficient acoomodation at present . The respective Bezirk authorities have requested that 25 additional beds should be provided at Neunkirohen and 26 additional beds at B1den immediately, with full equiprent and medicines.
After visiting Neunkirchen and Baden the Distribution Officer for Lower Ji.ustriLc '.\.nd Burgenland saw Dr. Stremnitzer, Sanit!!tsdirektor, Lower .Austria on 30.1.1947 ✓ c·.nd Ministerialrat Heuberger of the Sozialverwaltungsministerium on 31.1.1947 [ . !i stressed the urgency of providing these beds, pointing out that there were ru.~ :yes of UNRRA hospital equipment in Hainburg (Lower Austria) and Kittsee (Bur,·uil .0a ).
Ea.den was :rmajted on 3.2.1947 and it vms found that no equipment had yet been rec~i·,v·, ~n 5th February the Distribution Officer for Lower Austria and Burgenland o .oc more spoke with Dr. Stremnitzer and with the office of Dr. Heuberger, wh . is ill. No definite action had boen taken to provide the equipment. Dr. Heuberger promised however to ring the Chief Medical Officer of Burgenland to see wlw.t help could be obto.ined.
The appearance of typhoid oases in Wiener Neustadt, .. which has hitherto ~een unaffected, indicates tho.t the peak of the epidemic may not yet have been passed (n.s at February 5th, 1947), Neither the Lower J~ustria Governmmt nor the Federal Government however is tackling the problem energetically.
~'..t Hainburg, within 50 miles from Baden, and under the saroo Provincial Governroont, considerable stocks of UNRRA hospital equipment have been stored to be used in a hospital which is not expected to be opened until May.
The Provincial Gcsundheitsrunt n.ppen.rs too frightened of the Hainburg Municipality to divert these stocks temporarily to BQ.den or Neunkirchen.
The position in Kittsee is obscure. ;,. mobile UNRRA hospital was lent by the Ministry to Burgcnlo.nd in spring 1946 for use in an epidemic at Mattersburg. Burgenland has since retained it to equip a
1new hospital at Kittsee.
The Ministry seemed unab~e to state whether Burgenlo.nd had been authorized to do this or no+,, 1
contd.

There appear to be adequate stocks of typhoid vaccines in Vienna. Their distribution to the affected Bezirks has not been prompt and no spectacular inocculation campaign oan be observed. On the other hand, inocculation can be had on application at the Bezirk towns. The danger of typhoid spreading through cases for which there is no hospital accomodation being nursed at home is however considerable in Ba.den.
II. Land Salzburg: •• The Distribution Officer for this Province reports that investigation
of delivery of mm.RA Medical supplies was ma.de at the Provincial Hospital, the chief commercial distribut:ing agency and at various chemists.
Deliveries were made under the approved "point" syste□ last August and October. As the require,nents of various hospitals varied, exchanges were approved by the Director of the Gremit.ru with the agreement of the Federal Ministry.
The quality of the Medicaments received have been beyond complaint and the delivery of these UNRRA medicines has been a great alleviation as at present there are no other sources of supply, Deficiencies of course still exist, and chemists state the greatest need is for liver extract and asthr.a palliatives.
•,
The prescribed prices are regarded as extrerooly high in comparison with those current in recent years. The wholesalers' and retailers' profits are on the saroo basis .1.R in 1937: the foroer receives an average of. 17% - 2ofa.. The follov-,ing iterr.s o.re considered to be too high by wholesalers and apothecaries, though in comparison with Swiss prices they are low:

III. Tyrol and Vorurlberg:
The shortage of roodical supplies is still acute and one of the nost pressing requireuents at the mo100nt is the lack of Bariu□ salts .u.sed in X-I¼y Laboratory technique (photography of the al:i.meuta.ry tract).

(b )Cormick-:'Deering l,iowers: 'I'hese mowers can be used for grnin only and not for grass owing to the fact that the space betw8cn the teeth is 72 m/m and not 51 rn/rn.
(c)Hu11mer Mills: The price of A,S. 2,600 is too high and no one can afford to buy-th.em, As a result the allocation for Carinthia is all still in the warehouse of the L<mdwirtscha:f't Hauptgcnossensohaft,

(d) Harrov,s, Bentall and Bisell: The fartJers' opinions vary in respect of these two types of harrows, Those with big farr.1S prefer the Bentall Harrow anc.i those with s3..!nller f nns the Bisell Hn.rrow,
(e) Spore parts: No m'lchines received have any spare parts.
II, SEEDS:
(1) Carinthia:
The agricultural Branch have supplied in.for:iro.tion.on certain changes in the origina.l distribution plan of seeds which has accounted for the discrepancies found by the Distribution Officer for Carinthin. when 1:nking his investigations,
III, FERTILIZERS, PESTICIDES, ETC.
(1) Carinthia:
The , gr.iculturnl Branch confirmed that the Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (which was stated in the last report to have been received in a Iilllch greater quA.ntity than ~r. the distribution pln.n) has been received from a source other than UNRR.ii.. I xi lruntion they state that C3.lcium Ammonium Nitrate is a fer-

INDUSTRT.AL REPORT
I. NICKEL:
The 200 tons of nickel imported by UNRHA has been distributed as follows:
1) 96 tons to the lating industry of which 72 tons.have been allocated for processing to the only big firm L3.ngheim & Pfannhauser, Vienna XIV, and 24 tons to sm'lllcr firms,
2) 71 tons to steel industries for use in ~lloys,
3) 33 tons held in reserve.
-
The nickel is w rehoused by Boschan & Co., Vienna III, and is released upon request by the firms concerned,
La.ngneim & Pfannhn.usen, This firm was visited on January 23rd, The nickel wo.s unfortunately delivered in sm..'\.ll blocks which have to
be welded together to form the anodes. This is a slow process and so the cost of the A.nodes ha.a been increased.
oontd.

The lnly Austrian factory which could have resn1elted and moulded th~ riickel - a chea1,Jer method of making anodes - was the Berndorfer Metallwarenfabri . Lower :~ustria. It is stated thot this factory has been demolished by the Russia1. authorities.
The firm Langheim & Pf'annhausen is also ma.king nickel salts from the UNRRJ~ supply and so oo·,rnrs the whole nickel-plating process, Their monthly capacity is approxi.m9.tely 8 tons and so suffici~nt has been delivered to supply the industry for the whole of 1947. Unfortuna~ely there has been no work since the 20th December owing to the lack of electricity and the stoppage is likely to last the middle of February.
The anodes and salts are allocated by t~e, Ministry and will ma.inly go to the manufacturers of medical instruments, auto p_arts, cyc~e parts, household fittings.
During the Yv!ll' the Nazi Government forbade_ the use of nickel for such domestic purposes. UNRR., has therefore been the agent for restoring an important industrial proiJcss to -'USvria, with adequate supplies for several months.

II. TRUCKS:
(~) Land Salzburg:
- The seven firms visited who had received UNRR:~ trucks were found ,;0 oover various trades: M:illnr, Clothing firm, construction firm. One business, a butcher firm, refused the offer of a t~uck on the grounds that too much petrol of a high quality was required to run it. ,. hotel was also offered a truck, but refused it as being unsuitable for a hotel business. ,illother truck was availalle for the firm of Linde-Riedinger, Machine factory R.nd 'l/orkshops. It was found that this firm had moved back to Vienna, and that it had only bt:en temporarily situated in Salzburg during the wn.r, It is felt, that the plan for the removal of quarters to Vienna of the firm of Linde-Riedinger was known by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce although the firm has been allocated a truck on the Salzburg quota.
In the opinion of the Distribution Officer for this Province, the distribution of trucks could bear some investigation. It seems that trucks are offered to local firms by Vienna distribution agencies on recommendation by the Land Salzburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Maldistribution seems likely for the following r8as0:1s:
1.Rumours of favourable recommendations ms.de by the Chamber of Industry and C'1:1."':erce for its close associates and friends~
contd, -·
(6)
2. Distribution without regard to economic ~~igcrwies (for example offer of a truck to a hotel).
3. Rejeoti1n by the Chamber of Industry and Co~r~e of applications for 12 three-ton lorries which were urgently r-equ.L.r od by :'...egitilnate enter-prises.

Narrative Report for February 1947
I. INTRODUCTION
There was con~iderable activity in displ~ced persons operationa in the ,.merican Zone of oocupied ~-ustria during the month of February. This activity included screening by the U. S. Anny/Russian and UNRRA. screening. groups, planning and irir.r?lernentation of plans on one Polish repatriation train, routine efforts in the field of emigration and resettlement, exploration of matters on a policy level affecting eligibility for U~RRA/Army care, furtrer reductions in the scope of Zone operations, and investigations into the question of food shortages and discrirninutions in food distribution as they affect-displaced persons.
At the request of the US Army the Ead Ga.stein displaced persons camp and Hofgastein Hospital were returned to the Eilita.ry on February 28th . Nith the release of Bad Ga.stein there are now seventeen displaced ?ersons installations in the merican Zone; four static Jewish co.inps, ten United Nations Displaced ?ersons camps, the Childrens' Home, and the D . .? . Hospital and Sanatorium. Approximately 17800 persons were receiving Ui-IBR /11.rmy care during the month in the installations under UlffiRA. supervision.
II. RESULTS AND DEVELOPMENTS L-l' ZONE O?ERb.TIONS
(A) Screening
The .nrr:iy/Soviet Repatriation :1,i.ission conducted. screenin_: of displaced persons at cain?s Volkscarten, Itzling, Leben, Lexenfeld, Green, Ried and Asten. In the Ukrainian camps, Lexenfold and'Lehen, only the Anny representatives of the te , conducted screenin • r.t luter dute Soviet members of the Cornuission o.ppcared to intcrrogc,te certain individuals who had been brought to their attention by the Ar::erico.n meubers. The U.NRRA screening ten.m conducted scree,.ings at car,.)s Itzling, Glasenbach, Volksgarten und LexenfelcL Notice has been received tho.t this group will ceu.se to function after karch 31st.
(B) Repatriation
Approximo.tely 215 Poles were repo.tric.ted fron . .merican Zone d11ring the month; these were, for th rnost po.rt, out-of-cc.mp displaced persons. It is believed that ;_;_ scheduled tr·msport for the month of ht..rch will include a lo.rger number of in-co.ffi"f) residents. There hc.s been increased a12!tivity in pluns for Yugoslo.vio.n :rE:patriation and a Yugoslav Repatriation l!i.ission is expected to arrive in the Zone in early i,~rch.
Through the efforts of the Soviet Repl:.trio.tion 1,ission np:)roxi.mately 10 persons were voluntarily repatriated to T SSR during February.

(c) Resettlement and Bmigration
Resettlement plans relating to Morocco, Brazil, Sweden and Po.raguo.y have been discussed durin..:; the r:K:nth of l.<'cbru~. ·
In these ~ntters the Zone stuff have cooperated with IGCR represento.tives on collection of d.uta for resettlement purposes.
Approximately 90 persons were accepted fDr er.1igro.tion to the U.S. during the nonth, Large nw:-~ers of npplications 0ontinued to be handled by Welfare Officer~ throughout the Zone.
(D) EligibilitY
Considerable discussion on the question of UNRR/.1-,.n..y eligibility h::is taken pln.ce during the nonth owing to the existence of complicating policies and ;ioints of view outlined h1 UNRRA and ;._n,1Y directives, Recent screenings for eligibility h~ve focused attention on a nurnber of cases which
..
can be handled only if the position is clarified. .•
(E) Reduction in scope of UNRRA activities
Save for the return of the Bad Gastcin <J.P. Camp to the ldlitary there has been little dir.,inution in the scope of UFRRA activities in the Zone during the month. The 11ilitary have proposed to.king over one of our soo.11 installations, either Volkspi.rten or CL:Dp Green, because of their pressing need to house so1;-ie 300 ex-ener.:y displnccd persons. Conp Glo.senbnch h~s been suggested by the 1,ilito.ry as one installation which wight be o.ble to ubsorb the residents of either of the aforementioned cru.1ps. 1.n investigo.tion into the possibilities for this transfer of cru;ip resid.ents will be t1D.de curly in ~o.rch.
(F) New instructions affecting cru.:1p opero.tions
1. In a neoorb.ndur:i dated 1 Febru:.1.ry, Zone Co1;iI7lD.nd hn.ve established the responsibility of i'.ren Co;::rin.ndors relative to the control of Displaced Persons Publica.tions. This r:1e1.1orc.ndu1.1 sup<..;rsedes the totter of 6th Januo.ry on tho sar.ic subject.
2. In a. letter dated 4 Fcbruc...ry Zone CoiL'ID.nd Hq. have established cru.:p po.yroll o.llownnces for o.dr.iinistro.tivo and oper;1tionc-.. l overheo.d for pen~anent Jewish Displo.ced -Persons cor::ps. The o.llow~blc t1D.Xir1um c.re sir,ilo.r to those which h:.:..vc been established for United ifations Displ[.ced Persons cc.rips. It is und -rstood tha.t these po.yrolls Will be paid by the AUstria.n Land Goverru:i.ent. :i.n itc, ..

3, 0 1 the 8th Fcbruc...ry Zone Cor:a.!D.nd HQ, issued a sw:.r.~ry of instructions cm r1;:putri2.tion r .. ovcr:ients. Tho Jitc,..ora.ndw:i outlines the res)onsibilities of the ilrcu Co; ~.,enders, tho Tro.in or Convoy Con.':'l..mclers o.nd the Area RepC4tri"tion Officer.

(B) Housing
Several of the Team Directors in the vicinity of Salzburg have called attention to overcrowding in their ca..'il_.?s and are attempting to neet problems growing therefror.1 by the construction of addi tionn.l burracks.
The attention of the i,1ilitury ho.s been called to the necessity for moving ineligibles who have been brought to attention by recen"t screenings. It is believed th~t cpJropria te ~ction will he taken in the i.Drrediate near future.
(c) Food, clothing and fuel
:Jemands for the issue of nornal J. ustriDn ration cards to Displo.ced Persons ho.ve increased to a marked extent during the :.,onth. :ldlitary 11uthorities ore considering the advisability of issuing such cards to all those who nay wish to use then There are, however, practical considerations which r..o.ke u decision on this point difficult o.t the present tir:le. Chie-f among these is the non-d-vailability of cooking fo.cilities in crowded living quartea-s ·o.nd the dwicers attendant on in~dequn.te food storage, particulo.rly in the v,kr,m spring and swnr,1er months.
Officio.ls in both S.5 . E:.nd Zone Cor.r~d have given assurances th .... t they will investigate cc..refully and tc..ke rer:iedic.l r..ction in cc.ses of food shortages or discrii:d.no.tions in food distribution which a.re properly docu~ented wtth fnctuo.l do.ta.

"~ rumour v,as started thn.t there r,ould be forced repatriation which caused consid0rable temporary unrest, similar rumours have "risen from time to time in other camps.

The ~oviet Repatriation Mission has cont:nued screening during this month. ,Lr,proximate:ly 10 persons r:cr...; voluntn.ry repatriated to USSR.
Ther...: tras considerable unrest in Ukrainian Comps prior to screening b~c~use the UJcrainians objected to appe ring before a So~iet Scr~ening Board. on th(,; grounds that rn.th a very f1:;ir exce )tions they had never lived in U.:,...,R. A CorrD""littee of Ukrainians was givt.::n a hearing before an 1.nny Colonel representing the Commanding t-enoral, to discuss their objections. Only the iunerican Representatives on the scr~ening toom cnrricd out the screening in the Ukrainian c~1 s ~xcept that Sovi~t Officers later came to sec a fop persons v,hosc sto.tus had been found to be quustionablc.
, ... Continued:-
There have been a few individuals requesting repatriation, sue. as from a Greek n.nd a Hollander wiio had postponed repatriation.
The Yugoslav transport during ?cbruary included only out of camp Yugoslavs.
Polish -xhibit matericl which i1ad been shoi'."n at Hellbrunn Camp has been sent to tho :?r..rnch Zone to be sLown at Kufstein Camp.
91 persons were accepted for emigration to the United ~'..,ates. Applicn.tions for such emigration continue· to be made in large numbers nd a good decl of tirne in this office must be spent on necessary steps around processins such au-olications.
For the first time, ' thie conth some
l •
resettlement plans began to take concrete shape. IGCR asked our .. cooperation in putting in touch ,·ri.th them candidates who arc particularly quo.lif'.ied for the plan of r--sttl1:;m1.;nt in ;1orocco vrhich called for a small number of engineers and construction ,,rorkors. Our participation in this ,;:as di..,cussod with GHQ, and it was agreed that we ,-,oul.d confine such participation 'to cl\lllps in which there is no repatriation activity, so that th~s "oul.d not act as an intvrf vring f'actor to rcpo.triation in crunps in ~-·hich there is such activity.
Visits • ·t,;r.., mado to each of tho comps !7hich roul.d be participating in this --·o.y in ord0r to explain r·hat our part v:ould be.
'F'ollmring this, IGCR asked our cooperation in the some v:n.y in regard to tho Bro.zilian resettlement pl< s through which 150 agricul tUTal and Industrio.l Yrorkers from th0 U.S. Zon1.: would be resettled thcro~ .1 meeting vms held of n.nd So.lzburg Ca.mp Directors ( with exc ... ption of Jewish C:-Jnps) vrith Director on IGCR ir;i which the plan v·as presented and discuss1.:d. ·

ELIGIBILITY. During tnc month it crun1:; to the attention of
this office that lITfru'1A rulincr conc~rning eligibility of dependents for UNRRI~ care differs from l ilitary ruling for such eligibility. • J~ccording to UNRR~•s ruling.dependents must thorns lvcs satisfy eligibility requirements 7hereas according to "ilit~ry ruling, 1.:ligibility status of dependents is detennincd by status of head of family.
The • ilitary in Upper ~.ustri arc admitting dependents on this basis und the .iiilit·~ry ht . .;ro do likewise exc1.:pt in the case of ,1.ustrL.n · •ivcs 1'1h1:lmtl ey exclude.
1 confcronce was h0ld with the Welfare Officer Reception Centre and the DP Officer sup~rvising crunp admission, since that time the latter officer hes made every effort to 1ork cooperatively with us in rwga.rd to questionable comp ~dmissions.
Tho question of eligibility of Soviet Citizens for UNRRA care ·,,as nlso rc.ferrod to CHQ, inasmuch as the Chi f of UICTR.i~ screening Tcom had indic tcd in his report t~ the filit~:ry that such citiz~ns a.re ineligible. The fact that they arc ~ligiblc ras e tablished.

UNRRA U.S. ZONE H.Q.
SALZBURG - AUSTRIA
Salzburg, 1st March, 1947
; Robert J. Corkery Director, U.S. Zone; Austria
Monthly Narrative Report of D.P. Supply Section
R. 13
GENERAL : February nr0ved a month of continued interest and activity so far r .. Supply in the .American Zone was concerned.
New problems and new activity, such as the completion of technical tradework, beginning of new projects; such as garden-planning on D.P. Camps; problems of food shortages; destruction of rats and other vermin; • repatriation-train supply; welfare v/Ork in connection with Voluntary Agencies etc., p:esented themselves, and l~nt colour to the ordinary supply functiol'llil•
(1) FOOD : l,1a.rzy" Oamps were ff);oec.L .:ith food problems during the month. Food shortages, apparent discrimination in food delivered
to our camps from the Austrian Iancl Issue, the withdrawal of supplementary food for certain categories of population, created difficulty which were in part solved by IDf.RRA food lfirom Red-Cross Parcels. Shortages and exact conditions on camps were and aro being investigated, and t1e fact that these problems arc constantly kept before the eyes of the cor.petent }.,ilitary authorities, give rise to the hope that better conditions will be experienced in March.
(2) FUE~ : The continued cold weatoor necessitated the uninterrupted flov, of fuel to Camps o.nd Hospitals. This vro .. s accomplished
~rith Military Goverrunent and .Army liaison, and all tmi.ts received sufficient fuel to avoid hardship. The extra allotment of 33½ % more firewood received in January was again obtained through M.G. and helped considerably.
Fuel was also received and distribut din ample quantities to all UNRRA tea.~ billets :ind Ad..'lri.n. Units such as Hof,rirth Hotel, Zell am See M.T. Unit, IBffiRA. Motor Pool, ()lass II Mess, and Supply Centre Groedig. Voluntary .Agencies such o.s J.A.F.P. and the new O.R.T. Trade Schhol were able to opcr.:i.to with fuel ,1hich ·we obtained for them ..
(.3) CLOTHING Thronglt re vn-ve stock and other liaison, we were able to dlhstribute 31,000 articles ...,_' clothing to our camps and hos1-,i to.ls over tho month. · Although all were not in good condition, the distribution helped enormously in allevio. ting hardships due to b.ck of' f ootweo..r and clothing. . .
( 4) SANITATION The .Army Supply of snni ta tion ma tc:rials dropped to a SUPPLIES level that would have made hygienic conditions impossible
to maintain on camps. Wvre it not for continued work and pressure of locating items from civilian sources, and the fact ~hat ,.,e had built up an apprecio.blo resurve during past r, onths, all cru,1ps would have felt the need very acutely. As it was, reasonable quantities of all these supplies vreru distributed to camps, and good. conditions arc being maintained. The .Army is b~in pre"'scd to fulfill their obligations with regard to these ne~ds.
(,5) TRIDE-SERVICES : During the month we ,rerc able to accomplish various important services to our units by virtu- of our
contacts with civilian tradesmen and civilian supply. .An apparently irreparable furnace was repaired for one team billet; a complete pump and ,m.ter system installed on one o ... the camps; and bed-bug and ratdisinfectation was completed on foll!' c ps : Glasenbach, Itzling, Lehan and Lexenfelc
( 6) VOLUNTARY AGENCIES
ie continue to furnish supplies and services to all sponsored Voluntary Agencies as requested and approved by Welfare p::rrtnent. A.J.i).C., O.R.T.,
J.A.F.P., I.G.C.R., have been supplied with stationary and office supplies, f'urni ture, fuel., lamp-1: terials, etc., in order to carry on their
o I
work in connection v11. th ~1 They h ve repeatedly expressed appreciation for the co-operation received from this section.
(7) G PROJECT: In the lir,ht 0f our experienc of last year in the • planning of gardens on all camps, we have decided to
proceed on our o;m initiative with this proj..,ct. Practically no assistance was obtained from Arrrry la.st year, and because of unkept commitments much valuable time was lost for sowing and planting. We have already discussed 1,he rhole project with Military Government, Department of Fuel and .Agriculture., and they are in entire agreement that in view of existin0 food conditions alone, the scheme vrould be very .rorthwhile.. They have checked with their Vienna Oentral Headquart..,rs, and the wa:y should be clear for us to secure p nnission to bey the necessary seeds and tools from Civilian Supply, to be paid for by the Land Gov ... rnr .. ent at no UNRRA expense. We hope to report definite results in ca
(8) TIVE : We continue to furnish practically all ad.r.lin. supplies to the Zone team ai,.d a&tl.nistrctive units. Clarificati~n of responsibility for this phase of work is again
requested, as e have in our re.1. ort of last month. If vre are to procure Adrd. .lstrative Su.1: lies, .,hon the facilitiE::s, such as a·milab?dl fund::;, etc., should be definitely outlined for our guidance
(9) RELATIO :SHIPS Rel tionship lith Military, are excellent. Because of the time ,e have been on this operation and the

Narrative Report for February, ,1947.
Transport Divisi~
l. The month of February hQs been exceedingly difficuli for Transport Division, m?-inly due to the weather elemen~s and the shortage of jeeps for passenger work. Some comps have been more or less isolated owing to impassable roads and a jeep is the only type of vehicle which could reach them but c,..ving to the poor delivery of jeeps in Vienna for winteriso.tion and the non-arrival of new jeeps, journeys have been attempted with old Utilities or Hired Car, with the result that much work has been forced upon the Garage.
2. Load carrying vehicles on all tean1s and formations are in good condition, and a pool of Class "A" vehicles is held at H.Q, and Linz to meet all additional requirements.
3. The dravring and alloc3.tion of petrol which over the period of the last months has been revised and tightened up, has now resulted in an average consumption of 21,500 gallons, including Grodig SU}'"lply Centre, resulting in a saving of approximately five to six thousnnd gallons n. month, despite the fact that actually more UNRRA vehicles rtre being used.
4. The general position of Tro.nsport is s·1tisfactor:,r, \l'i th the exception of the jeeps which arc urgently required and a suit~ble saloon co.r for the Zone Director should be supplied immediately. It is most evident from the records of allocdion of co.rs of the tY.9c frcm C.H.Q., that his persona} needs have never been tal:en into account and it cannot be too strongly emphasised thut action should be taken in this matter f'orthwiih.

Chief of Mission UNRRA Central Headquarters Vienna •
1. IDIBOLVED PROBLEMS.
(a) Screening for eligibility.
The ' completion of the screening of all D. P •. , s in the British Zone will be completed on March loth. The 13 persons declared ineligible in Villach Camp on Dr. Bedos last visit will be moved to a Military camp on Ma'l'.'ch 7th. The 35 ineligibles from Judenburg Camp will be transfer-red to the T\1i li tary camp on or before March 15th.
We ha,e request8d A,C.A. (BE) Movement Section to remove the lo2 USSR citizens nisiding in Villach Ca.mp. This action will take place sometime during th0 month of March •
(b) Removal of remaining 500 Post Hostility Refugees in Camp Judenbur..5:.
The early part of this month we directed a letter to the Deputy Director A.C •. A. (BE) requesting an early decision on the above. A proposal has been made that the solution to this problem, which is primarily one of camp accomodation, might bost be solved by the removal of the balance of the remaining 14-oo population to St.Mertins Comp, The final action on this will be taken in the next few days.
(c) Yu5oslav Repatriation. . .
The prograrr.ms for the repatriation of individuals of Yugoslav nationality still remains one of the major problems in this Zone. Fqr some time we have been assured that o. Civilfo.n Yugoslav Repatri::'..tion Hission will be stationed in this Zone to assist in this progromme, but to date this Mission has not n.rrived.
It is important at this time that definite information be secured on the programme of the distribution ruid availability of the 60 days rations for Yugoslav repn.triate·s.
The

The r cent liter ture in ,,hich the Ccmnittee for Social elfare (Department for Repatriation) attached to the Cabinet of the Prime Minister of the Government of the Federativ~ Peoples Republic of Jugoslavia replies to questions put by UNRRA Jugoslav Mission in connection ~1i th the problems of the Repatriation of JuLoslav citizens, received frcm C.H.Q. has been distributed to the camps. 'r7c are of the opinion that if the approach in such literature could be of a positive rather than a nesativc nature it would be more helpful in cncourar:,in,g repatrit.tion.
(d) Conflict between emierotion and repatriatio!:!._·
The conflict bet 1ecn 1.nnieration and repatriation still continues to be a prob,¢'lem. R cently Cotton Manufactur~rs fran Ensland visited UNRRA cam,ps in the British Zone to secure the names of sinele wcmen who might be interested in goin._, to En&land as v10rkers in the ·ootton industry. ·:re have previously hod visits frcrn re _rcsentativcs uf the British Labour Department r questin info tion'on domestics, nurses uiaes, and othur individuals ,nth specialised skill?•
Such surveys, especi£illy where individuuls re intervic,1cd have a tendency to directly affect the program of rcpatr~ation of individuals in the C<lmps.
(o) Calories.
Crunp Directors fran oll crunps in the British Zone hnve reported that during the 23rd nd 24-th ration periods the rations dra,m for the nonnal consumers ere as follows:
1200
..
Stu rtin Villach Spitto.l 1200 - 1;00 «ith certain items such
as milk nnd butter unav- il.D.bl •

Thif, infonnation ..,,as eiven to the Field Distribution Officer for invosti£Ption. The follo,ing is a. copy of the report rec~ived from the Field Distribution Officer for Land KArnten:

All consumer crcups as employees, ~orkers, heavy worker~,y nd. oxp. ond nurn • mothers, as .mll os T.B,C. p rsons and'HoS""pital personnel received extra rations according to the general rules.

The jield Dist;ibution Officer from Land Steienna.rk has not as ·yet submi,tted tJ..' written report, however;, in a telephone communication has stated that he was. fully aware to the . .fact . that duri.ng-.~he month of February the calories for .the nonnal consumer for Austrians as'well as DPs was considerably lower than 1500. A report will be submitted at.a ·later date.
(f) Clothing-.
The position in r ,g - .:i to all .. types or-' clothing as well as boots and shoes still remains most unsatisfactory. At the prosent time we are unn.ble to furnish the adult- mle P?Pu~ation 'i1ith any type of gannents.
'· ,J 2 • REPATRIATION
')
• . ·.,
•
A Polish Re-~triation Train consisting of 137 repatriates left the British Zone on February 18th. See copy-· of letter written by Polish Mission to A.C.A. (BE) Movement Section as well. as 'letter written by the Polish Mission to 'UNRRA. ·-
. The Polish Mission are now carrying on an intensive campaign in an attempt' to get as . .1Ik1.ny of their c'itizens as possible home by EastGr. The sense of their last broadcast was ''. Let Us Be Home By Easter "•
We have been informed by Capt. Pastuszyhski, Chief of the Polish Mission in the British Zone that they arc of the opinion that about 4000 Poles living in the British Zone vn.li apply for repatriation in the next 3 - 4 months. They stated there arc already ~~ite a number registered for the train in March and they hope th'lt bcf ore the train is scheduled they wilJl. have some 450 people.
· We have been informed by A.C.A. (BE) Movement Section that if 800 repatriates can be registered a rolline stock will be made available for a train on or about March 20th •
As stated in our previous monthly report and in this report under Unsolved Problems the question of a proeramme for Yugoslav repatriation has been disappointing. We are hopine thnt the visit of the Director of the British Zone to YU£!,oslavia in the first week of March will be of assistance. We hope that additional UNRRA personnel assigned to camps with Yugoslav D.Ps will be able to accompany Yugoslav repatriates home in the near future.
It is gratifying to report that considerable progress is being made in the programme for Ukrainian repatriation. The Russian Mission nov1 have definite weekly schedules entablished i.e. two days in St.Martins Camp and one day in Judenburg Camp. They are bringing in considerable literature as well as copies of lettors from DPs who have returned home. At. St. Martins Camp a Ukrainian school teacher who has decided to return home has been appointed Head of the Ukrainian Repatriation Committee.
The conducting Officer as uel: as Russian Mission representatives have stated they are of the opinion tho.t the numbers desiring repatriation wilL increase as the weather improvesc
We should like to make the suggestion th~t arrangements be made for UNRRA representatives to return home vn.th these repatriates to further aid in repatriation, We are alS'o ,10ndering whether or not ::my prograrmne could be worked out to furnish Russian repatriates wit~ the 60 days rations.

At our last Directors Conference on 13th February 1947 a major :pcrtion . of the meeting was reserved to discuss the problem of within camp employment i,e, paid and voluntary. ~111 camps had previously been asked to submit an occupational aoolysis• of their camp as well as a detailed explanation of what they considered to be the minimum' camp requirements,
The following suggestions were JW.de on the types of personneiwho should remain on the Bezirkshauptmanns payroll:
l. Individuals in charge of Centre Administration and Records for which the Director is responsible to Military and UNBRA kuthorities • .
2. Supervisors of Public Health and Welfare Services and necessary records relating thereto.
3. Individuals responsible for the procurement, use, maintenance and safe guarding of Military and UNRRA supplies and equipment.
4. General supervisors of Centre functions for which the Director is responsible e.g. Ca.mp Leaders, Works and Maintenance foremen, Forestry Supervisor, Police Chief etc.
It was felt that the balance of the functions within the camps should be considered of a Communal nature and should therefqre be voluntary.
Continued emphasis has beine placed on ·outside camp emjiloyment and a close relationship is maintained ut all levels on this problem. (See monthly Ls.bour Reports).

We should like to state in this connection that the repatriation

of unaccompanied children in the British Zone has made consideraqle progress in the past month. It is gratifying to know thnt i~.c.~ . (BE) are now satisfied with the facilities for the cure of children in Yugoslavi:n and therefore all Yygoslav children can be repatriated.

ilCCOMMOD.hT;t:ON, l~ccomrnod.ation for Officers at the Hotel Moser is more
limited than hitherto and prior not~fication of intended visits is essential. Acconmodation at the~. Billets, Krumpendorf, is easier, due to the continued reduction of Headquarters staff. It is essential that al1. Class II personnel visiting Klagenfurt should bring adequate rations; this is still not always arranged.

The assistance of Dr. KRON v1ho has made direct co' ·.'.· :.~ vdth the camp inhabitants has been a very great asset. The 2 Jewish D;, doctors are willing and anXious to work uncier hie guidance. The nursing staff have been told that every effort ,1ill be ma.de to procure the r..ece3 "" "'!:;. articles ·to help them in their work. J, visit to A.JDC in Graz has been m--:i. ~ by Dr. Kron and 1cyself. Supplies such as ·nurses and doctors govms overa_:o and aprons for the kitchen staff sheets towels and kitchen utensifs were Sivan to us by ii.JDC. Also a quantity of 'white paint to paint as JJ19.ny rco:1~ ·as possible in the camp hospital. We also approached JwDC in regard to having a Jewish trained nurse in St • .Marein. We interviewed a Polish trair.t-... nurse who has had a great deal of e:,perience including Public Hea:~h anl District vmrk in Poland. She will ad.vise us within the next few days if' she is willing to work at St .Marein.
Although the results of our efforts are somewhnt slow we feel thllt the people realise that they hage to raise the stnndar'~ of hygie e and it is hoped that very shortly both St.Morein and IIafendor.:' Camps wi be satisfactory.

MONTHLY MEDICAL RE.KlRT FOR BRITISH ZONE 1AlTSTRIAa FEBRUARY 1947•
OIDANISATION~
The state of camps in the Zone remains as at the end of January, i.e, 6 Centres, covering 10 Camps in all, with a total population of about 12,000 D.P,s.
POLICY.
The .b.dmi.nistration also remains substantially the same, with three UNRRA M,O.s and two Nurses. The M.O, for ID:i.mten Area acts as Senior M..O, for the Zone, leaving an Area M.O. for Steiennark and one M.O, for tpe Jewish camps in the Zone.,,
PERSONNEL •
.After consultation with the Director of Health, Vienna and the·. A,M.O. Steierimrk, Dr. Kron, who had been stationed at ~dmont was charged with the additional supervision of st,Marein and Hafendorf, thus combining the Medical .Administration of the two Jewish camps, ·
During the absence of Miss Van Urlc on duty with the Polish Re ... · patrio.tion train, Miss Butler has been temporarily Bjatione~ a\ St .:Marein.
HE/J.TH.
In spite of severe weather conditions, and the difficulties in maintaining proper sanitation owing to the frost, the general health of the D.P. population has· remained at o. high level, Ji.part from a few oases of influenza no epidemic has been recorded.
TOUR OF THE ZONE.
In the last week of February the s.M,O, of this Zone visited all oamps in the Steiarmarlc Area and inspected hospitals nnd Medical. Administmtion With the exception of St ,M!lrein and Hafendcrf, where ooniitions are difficult, the Medico.l services were found to be working satisfactorily in all MBembly Centres.
A detailed report on this tour is being prepared nnd will be subnitted. "\
TR.t.NSPORT.
On the whole transport facilities have improved during the last month, but Dr, Kron is still not provided for. With the increase in his duties and the distance to be covered be.tween li.dmont and st.Mn.rein it is essential that a suitable vehicle be found for this officer.

Since these fea.tures well. characterise good willL and willingness of UNRRA in the British Zone of .Austria to cooperate with the Polish Repatriation Mission, it gives us real p~easure to express these thanks to UNRRA through its Zone Director Major Chapman.
\Ve also take this opportunity to thank the Camp Director Mr. Chalmers for his friendly interest in our tasks and for his help afforded to us.
bnd it is our exceptionally pleasant duty to thank Mrs. Cameron for her sympathetic and ardent work resulting from an tinderstanding of the necessity of easing the lot of these real victims of the war which are most of the DP-s.

Although ther& were about 215 persons registered, including people trom Graz, .tbe transport difficulties caused by heavy snowfalls during the last few days made it impossible for a certain number of persons to reach the train in time, and especially for those from the more remote parts of Villach and Groz districts.
3. Another reason which caused a certain number of repatriates, and especially those with children, to put off their departure, was the uncertainty till the very day of departure mf the train whether train would be equipped with coal :f' or the journey.

FROM Director Vi.em.a Spear} ead Tenn 350, U.S. Zone.
REF. UA/12/18~
I. GENERAL-
II.
A total of 434 Jewish refui:,ees fror.1 En.stern Europe were processed at tlle Rothschild Reception Centre durin·· the nonth. The perccnta:~es by nationa.li ties of these refu[Sees were Polish 9~, Hunr:nrian 3%, Rour..anian 4% nnd r.d.scella.neous 3%-
• As can be readily noen fron t11c stt.. tistics of new nrri vals over the lo.st .6 oonths there has been a continuing falling-off ~ the number of refugees, ,,hich can not Lerely be attributed. to weather conditions. General indications are that, while the novc::ient f'ror:1 Eastern Europe will not cease co1.ipletely for scme ti.";10 the numbers involved will be sr.iall by con.parison with 1946. · Sone of the factors contributing to this situation are
a) the absence of any serious ruitiseru.tic outbreaks in Toland during the last 6 nonths, even including the election period, when n.ntisemtic outbreaks were particularly feared.
b) The general stalena.te in the Palestine situation., -· ,
c) The fact that approximately 50.000 Jews hnve now settled - appa-rently under satisfactory conili.tions - in L::>wer Silesia.
In this intensely cor.,plicated situation there are naturally other ir.rplicati~n~, .particularly froo the aspect of zionist politics, but -tlte ·above factors are those which are imoedia tely Qbv:i.ous in contributing tow?,I'ds the r.iarked reduction in the flow of refugees • . . .
JMFORT.ANT PROBLEMS AND TARGETS FOR THE SUCCEEDING MONTH- · ,
a} Fa.cili ties for orthodox ·Jews • .
When the necessary supplies of beds and bed~i.ng can be procured, tt.i~ proposed to retain all orthodox refugees in a wing of the Rothschild canp, inasnuch a.s a properly staffed koscher kitchen is in operation at the camp and this will therefore elir:1:inate the present necessity for transporting the koscher food to orthodox groups in the ot.her cn-r.rps. .An addi-tion'.ll stove is also being procured so thn.t th;is, kitchen r.,CJ.y cope ri'th la.rger numbers.
b) Feeding.
Effective March, q two cooked meals will be furnished to the refugee canps, as a result of increased pooling of Arr:iy and A.J.D. c. food supplies.
c) Mass X Ray survey.
,.
This survey should be completed during the next month by the further~ exam.nation and filr.ung of all suspicious cases, disclosed by the miniature x ray. This work has been somewhat complicated by the fact that sor.1e of the suspicious cases have in the meantime left the camps, but every effort will be r.mde to trace them and ensure that they are properly verified..
III. RELATIONS WITH THE MILITARY .AND OTHER AGENCilS
Sa tisfactory.
IV• MAJOR IDSULTS .AND DEVELOBlEN'IS-
a) Su:pply.
Difficulties were again 'encountered during the month as a result of the inadeq..iate fuel.supplies allotted by the Arr:J.y, the situation naturally being aggravated by the extrenely cold weather. The allocation of _coke vro.s reduced during the non th by 1 2½ tons and an equal nmount of . lignite substituted therefor.

The Course for Nursep Aides, orgo.nized by the Teau Nurse, in cooperation with the medical an!l nursing personnel of the Allge -neines Krankenhc'lus and the camps, -rms brought to a very successful conclusion on February, 20th. The 28 successful students were presented .vi.th their certificates at a cerenony in the Rothschild Canp, attended by representatives frou UNRRA CH Q, the U.S.Arny and the AllgeDeines Krankenhaus. The couplete success of this course, which wn.s obvious :to all thg organizations and inoividuals interested, has created a deoand for another one to be instituted and peruission hn.s been obtained from the U.S. Arr:ry authorities to bring selected students fron canps in the U.S. Zone of Austria to Vienna, in order to take the course. ~!:te succcssful ___ c;:gn@dates of the previous course are no.v carrying on practical v-orlc in the Allge~.1eincs Krankenhaus, under the supervision of the qualified Austrian n\lrses, so as to give the1.1 further practical experience • J...t the er1d of the practical work an incli vidun.l evaluation will be forvJarded to the Tean Nurse by the supervising .Austrian nurse.
No unusual incidence of disease has occurred during the uonth, but plans have beE:n oade to cope with an influenza epider:ti.c, should one occur. These plans include instructions to the car.1P residents and to all D.P. nedical st~ff, the conservation of certain necessary nedical supplies which would be required in large ru.10unts in an epider:ri.c and the provision of additional isolation facilities.
The quarantine wards in the,Rothschild Reception Centre have now been redecorated and are ready for occupancy and,an additional nursing nothers wa.ru. has also been opened, in order to relieve the forner overcrowcling.

1)1\1RRA TRACING BUREAU FQR, AUSTRIA
MONTHLY REroR'J:
Februarx, 19li).
11.3.47.
While the total of new enquiries received during the month of February remains approximately the same as during the preceding month; th~re has been a decrease in the total of replies received. This decrease is particularly noticeable in the U.S. Zone, where there was a CJ.IOp from 647 replies in January to 248 during February. This was rc..rtly 001:.,,terbalanced by a:::i inerease in the British Zone from 307 re:plies in January to 609 in February.
?.. • The total number of. enquiries closed has risen by nearly 18% from ,Jannary I s total.
U.S. ZQ;JE, -· ---~---3, During the past month strenuous efforts have been made by the U.S. , .
Zone Tracine B~reau to clear up the back-log of cases, with the result that the oases now in process in the Zone number t;6£.6 o.s opposed •-to ~ during January. . . t,2.11t • , li.i.(o "
It is anticipated that on 5 March· the two Jeeps which were sent to Vienna in December 1946 for wi.nterization will be returned to the Salzburg Office, thus easing the critical transport situation which has ha1rp0red the wo~k · in the Zone during the past two 1nonths •
.REGISTRY, IX)QY!11ENTS & LOCATOR FILE.
5~ During the month of February Registry started on two major projects: . a review of the card index and all lists, and a review of all files in order to separate open cases from obsolete and concentration c~, Qases, These reviews are progressing satisfactorily and it is hopecl tha.J.; they will be compteted by mid-Murch. The daily average of 0ases processed in Registry, 376, reflects great credit on the staff, as two of the employees Lre working full ... time on the reviewing team, . and there have been several cases of illness necessitating long absences from work.
6 • The value of t:10 Documents Section is increasing steadily as Docv.ments are received. During the month of February the Documents Officer obtai~ed -the photost~tic copy of the nationality Death Lists of Mauthausen from the film previously secured. These lists ccntain more than 60,000 names of dead, and have helped to close a number of ca~es. On 19 Fcbrua...ry records concerning Russian prisoners of' wax were handed to the Soviet ·pw & DP authorities, and death certificates of Soviet nationa.ls will be handed over as soon as we have office copies. Co:-.tacts have been established with the U.S. Graves Registration CommLJion, ahd a

number of death certificates of .Americans were sent to Colonel Knox. During the month 1,3S1 names were EjUbmitted for sea.rah, and positive results given in 290 cases; this c6mpares favourably with last month's figures of 202 positive results from ,47 names.
7, The.British Zone Locator File arrived at the end of the month, and will be ready for checking on 5 March. U.S. Zone DP.3 cards and index cards have now been separated into two indices, one for Upper Austria and one for Land Salzburg. It is to be noted that the Locator File is gradually losing its value as a tracing agent because of the lifting of postal restrictions, and the numbe~ of names found for CIC and War Department is many tires that of the names found for the Tracing Bureau.
CORRESPONDENCE SECTION.
8. Both in the Correspondence Unit and. Concentration C~ Unit difficulty has been experienced owing to illness runon3 the Class II staff and the fact that one member of the Correspondence Unit is employed full-time on the review team. Thu review of open cases has necessarily brought a great increase in the work of the Correspondence 8.;ction, resulting in a back-log of 300 cnses - less, however, than was anticipat d. In the Concentration Camp Unit re~kable progress has been ma.de on the Master List of Concentration Camp Deportees, which now contains over 10,000 names. Revision of statistical methods has been carried out within the Section during the month with good results.
VIENNA ZONE •
9. As in the rorrespondence Section, the review of open cases has
•
produced a strain on the Vienna Zone Bureau, both from the increase in work ( 16t cases arrived in the Zone in one day alone) a.nd from the fact • that the Zone Chief Typi):!t has peen seconded to the reviewing team. However, the review of cases has not been allowed to interfer~ with the current work of the Zone, and general progress during the month has been. very good. In addition to his usual work, the Field Ser.rcher has managed to procure a number of lists of Forced Workers from fuctories in Vienna, which will be of great value in tracing work,
:FERSONNEL.
10. The st::md.J.rd of work for the Registry and Docurnqnts Sections improved materially during the month of February. This ~rovereent has c.onfinned our belief that the actions taken in eerl,y Janua·ry effecting certain replacements were entirely justified. Man days absence due to illness increased to 130½ days for the month of February.
11. A particular problem has developed with respect to leave for Class II personnel. A substantial number of people were recruited in J e, July and August of 1946 and the~efore becom~ eligible for leave in January, February and Mo.r9h 1947. The work of the Burcc1u will not pennit the absence of aey substantial m»:i,er of Class II personnel o.t the same time. e have, therefore, detemined that a maximum of 12 wee~s total annual leave per month will be e.llowed for Class II staff memb rs.

ADMINISTRATION.
Cabinets to house Documents and Registry files, c~dered several months ago, were received at the end of the month. forae of them were found to be not usable because of an error in the o:ic, However, the remainder of th8In have materially improved the space situation in Registry and Documents Sections •
GBNERAL.
13, The Director of the Tracing Bureau left on leave on 20 F0brua:7 1947, During this absence the staff carried on in an exceptionally fine r.an.ier. The mo·st notable achievement during the last eigh'· days of Fe"o ruarJ· vms the completion of the review of 14,691 cases by the review s ,aff, The review staff consisted of Frau Dr. Mrazek, Frl. Stolle: F~l. Neumayer

and Herr Seemay0r, Herr Rouschal being awuy on sick let> e. Miss Bush devoted practically full time to the supervision of t'1c review teari.1, assisted only · ccasionally by the ID'ffiRA members of th-- =:,taff. This review has prog1'essed more rapidly than was anticipatcJ. and ths estimate for the compl2t~on, date is 10 March 1947,
PLANS.
Upon cor.Jplction of the review, two of the RL;giotry stai'f mei•")ers will be assi~1cd to the separation of the obsolete cases into two groups; those which can be closed immediately, and the second category which will be cleared through the Documents and Locator File before closing. Regi..;try is also working on the ccmplete ::.-evi·c'ion of the index, which will el:il .. i11ate from the card file all cares v..1,ch do not refer to existing c-ases, ei thcr open or closed. Discussions ·d:l be held during the month of 11arch with various persons and agencies interested in the future of tracing in Austria.

Volksdeutsche
Among the displaced persons vn th whom the Armies have had to deal were approxi-mately 224,000 Volksdeutsche. Of these, 52,689 have been removed from Austria, 19,474 now remain in Military e.Ll Ul:RRA camps, 18,316 in camps operated by the .Austri&n civil authorities in the .\merican Zone, 133,513 nre reported to be living in AuE:.tria outside camps and others are no longer counted: 3s disp7 .aced persons since they h:we been turned over to the ,\ustrian authorities. The 5, 195 Volksdeutsche' reported in camps operated with mTRIIA assistance et the end of Januory 1946 have been practically eliminated from our camps.
Displaced Persons in UNRRA C~ ~
September 1946 shovred the first marked decline in numbers of· displaced persons in Assembly Centres in which UNRR.i\ is pn.rticipating and there were further de~reases each month through Februnry. The tota.I had remai.ned re],ativel;y: stable_ throughout
- he eight month period January - .August 1946, despite repatri1.tion. (See Table VI) The fluctuations from month ~o month in the number:s for certain groups result from changes in classification and changes in auspices under which the Assembly Centre has been operated as well as from repatriation anq. new arrivals at camps.
The three groups of significant size remaining in ID-fRRA camps in Austria at the end of February were Poles, Yugoslf'vs, Jevrs ::rnd Ukr.ainians. The Jewish group has decreased considerably since '.ugust, when the largest number was reported fn UNRRf. camps. The Yugoslav group also shows marked decline but the numbers reported for Poles and Ukrainians remain relatively stable despite activity in repatriation to Poland. · · · ·
New Jewish Refugees ,
During August, ru1 agreement was re ,':1.ched concerning responsibility for the handling of United Nations Displaced Persons pres:;nt in Austria at the time of
aliberation as distinct from the new mass movement of J~wish refugees. ·-·It was· a.greed . hat the new Jewish group 8ntering .Austria and passing· through the U.S. Zone was the
primary responsibility of the U.S. Arrr:y. The U. S. L~my agreed to provide accornmo- · do.tion, food, other necessn.ry supplies, tra.nsportn:tion .:md ad:ninistrative personnel for the care of this group of per::,ons. UNRRJ, assi sted in this operation o.t first by the provision of person~el on an individual b~sis to the U.S. Milito.ry -uthorities but now furnishes personnel for such r;runps in-the Vienn..".. "..:<ea only. The numbers of these Jewish refugees entering Austria through the Rothschild reception centre in Vienna are shown belo,v for the twelve months of 1946 and Jnnu11.ry and :February 1947. .
