Full agreement was reached here today between the Joint Distribution Committee and representatives of about 1,300 “oldtimers” among the displaced Jews residing in the Foehrenwald camp, near Munich. The agreement bars further demonstrations by Jewish DP’s in German cities.

The pact covers points left in abeyance during the recent visit to Munich by Moses W. Beckelman. JDC European director, following the fight between German police and some DP’s from Foehrenwald who attempted to occupy the JDC headquarters. The JDC will now resume its medical services in the Foehrenwald camp and will reopen its liaison office there which was closed following threats by some of the camp residents.
