JUGOSLAV D.P.’S IN GERMANY
BRITAIN AND U.S. “HINDER” RETURN BERLIN, June 10. Major-General Vjeceslay Holjevac, head of the Jugoslav military mission here, declared that Britain and the United States were systematically impeding and shackling the repatriation of Jugoslav displaced persons from Germany. He j cused them of allowing those opposing repatriation in displaced persons’ camps to develop propaganda and terrorist activity, and of changing UNRRA personnel who developed successful repatriation activity. The Americans were enrolling Jugoslavs to work in French and Belgian mines. Mr Robert McMann, assistant chief of the United States Military Government displaced persons’ section, said that Major-General Holjevac’s charges were exaggerated. The American police had been one of voluntary repatriation and United States officials would not force anyone to return to Jugoslavia unless he was a criminal with a long sentence facing him. or if claims that he hr.d collaborated with the Germans, or was a war criminal, could be substantiated.
