Army authorities announced yesterday that the latest count showed 139,026 displaced Jews in the American occupation zone of Germany.
Abraham Cohen, JDC area director, reported that some of these Jewish DP’s have been contributing food and clothing from their own meager supplies to refugee Jews in two tent city camps, located at Landshut and Cham.
Cohen said both camps were administered mostly by DP’s, plus a few J.D.C. workers, Army clerks and medical officers. He declared that parents with children less than one year old are given a priority for transfer to a permanent camp as soon as possible.
