Germany is not safe for Jews, Dr. John Slawson, executive vice-president of the American Jewish Committee reported here today following his return from a tour of the American zone during which he made a study of the DP situation on behalf of his organization.
Speaking at a press conference, Dr. Slawson stated that the energy and vitality of the displaced Jews was good, but added that the opening of the gates of Palestine and the United States was the only solution to their problem.
“The DP situation is deteriorating,” he asserted. “Growing political and so##ial tensions in Germany are finding expression in incidents between DP’s and American ## and DP’s and Germans. The attitude of anti-democratic Germans remains appreci####ltered by the liberation.”
