The United States, Britain, France and West Germany agreed here today to extend for an indeterminate period their previous resolve to give the International Red Cross Jurisdiction over the International Tracing Service, it was announced here today.
The International Tracing Service, with headquarters at Arolsen, Germany, was established after World War II, and has been deemed invaluable in helping trace persons missing as a result of the war, displaced persons and their families, and others sought by relatives and friends around the world. Vast archives of aid to the tracing of such persons are housed at the Arolsen center.
