One-fourth of the 30,000 displaced Jews recently living in barracks in the American zone in Germany have been moved into former dwellings of German civilians, Rabbi Joseph H. Lockstein, vice-chairman of the Jewish Welfare Board’s Committee on Army and Navy Religious Activities, revealed yesterday.

Rabbi Lockstein, who has just returned to this country after a six-week tour of the American zone, stated that these displaced Jews purchase their food from Army commissaries, cook at home, and generally live a normal family life.
