Amg Director Mum on Charge That Poles Employed by U.S. in Germany Are Anti-semitic

Refusing to comment on the charge (by N.Y. Times correspondent Raymond Daniel) that the displaced Poles employed by the U.S. Army for labor service are “as anti-Semitic as any Nazi,” Major General Clarence L. Adcock, deputy director of the American Military Government, today told a correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the policy of the United States is to repatriate the displaced persons to their native lands as fast as possible in order to save the American taxpayers’ money.

At the same time, Major Gen. Adcock pointed out that the official policy of the United States does not require forcing the displaced persons to return to their native countries against their will. The chief reason why many Poles are still in the U.S. zone is the bad weather, he said. “Even if the Poles wanted to return now, we could not ship them in frigid box-cars. We do not have sufficient heated cars or stoves to heat the box-cars,” he explained.
