Leaders of the Central Committee of Liberated Jews met here today with Rabbi Philip Bernstein, adviser on Jewish affairs to the U.S. armed forces, to discuss the cut in the daily rations of DP Jews from 2,200 salories to 2,000.
Rabbi Bernstein explained the reasons for the Army order and the DP leaders agreed to lend their support in quieting the anticipated unrest in the camps. The Army’s adviser said that he would discuss with high military officials the possibility of improving the tiresome makeup of the DP diet, which consists mainly of soggy bread and potatoes.
Dr. Philip Auerbach, Commissioner for Persecutees in the Bavarian Government, said today that the Bavarian authorities had apologized for the ousting of a DP Jew, Bronislaw Wingorski, and two children from a former German home. The five German officials responsible for their eviction and mistreatment have been disciplined.
