'Hard Core'Of Displaced Persons MELBOURNE- (By Airmail).—Sift-
ing of displaced persons in camps in Germany was approaching now the “hard core” of big families, aged and sick—categories that were not wani ed in countries which were absorbing displaced persons. This w’as the opinion expressed by Miss Dunkel, who has spent the last three years in Europe with UNRRA and the International Relief Organisation.
Miss Dunkel said that since last January she had been a resettlement officer in charge of initial selection of displaced persons for migration overseas, in camps covering the region between Hanover and Hamburg.
The problem of absorbing the “hard core” of big families, sick and aged would soon have to be faced, Miss Dunkel said. One solution would be for every country to take a cross section of these people.
There was a shortage now of unmarried people, which had been the most popular request from countries taking displaced people.—Reuter.
