DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA.

European Refugees To Begin Trek Home Transfer Os Greeks Opens Repatriation Washington. Mar. 21.— (UP) The long journey home will begin soon for more titan 100,000 Europeans driven by the war to havens in Africa. India and the middle eaat. Officials of the United Nations relief and rehabilitation administration disclosed today that UNRRA’s long-planned repatriation program would begin in a few weeks with the transfer of 1.500 Greeks from Egypt to their homes on Grecian islands. This will be the opening sequence of the happy ending to a drama thaf began early in the war j when thousands of Greeks. Poles I and Yugoslavs were wrenched from their homelands and had no place to go. Governments in India. Africa and the middle east established some camps for the refugees. Then UNRRA began 25 months ago its own refugee camp program in the middle east. Almost all of the 100.000 men. women and children now sheltered in the governmental and UNRRA camps will be back home by next winter. UNRRA officials predicted. They conceded, however, that the i program hinged on getting enough shipping from the combined Anglo-‘ American shipping board and Al-1 lied military authorities in the!, middle east. I I Ships already have been obtain-; , ed for the initial movement of; 1 Greeks to the islands of Chios. ‘ Samos and Ikaria. UNRRA expects! i to send another 15.000 Yugoslavs! | and Greeks homeward from North Africa by June 1. j ’ A trained “convoy team" of spec- ( ialists on health and welfare will f be assigned to every 1.000 refugees ( escorted back home. The experts , will travel with the repatriates. !l supervise feeding and clothing and t arrange for travel accomodations ‘ i after the transport ships docks. While the middle east program , 1 represents only a fraction of ‘ t UNRRA’s big displaced persons j t problem officials here were highly 1 pleased that their refugee machbt-i ery was beginning to move. ■ 1

UNRRA officials have estimated the agency must help more than 15 000,000 men, women and children return to their homes once the war in Europe ends. Most oi these refugees will come from within Germany, where millions of Europeans have been transported by the Nazis as slave labor. Secretary Wickard Speaks Al BluHlon Farm Group Hears Agriculture Head Bluffton, Ind., Mar. 21—(UP)— Secretary of agriculture Claude Wickard said last, night that postwar farm prosperity and full national employment go hand-in-hand and that federal controls were ! necessary to assure a bountiful I agricultural production. In an address to a farm group. Wickard endorsed certain prevailing governmental programs, urged that others be revived and predicted greater domestic consumption of major farm products after the war. "The level of non-agricultural income and employment will do more than any other single factor to determine .whether the farm people of the United States will be prosperous or poor in the years after the war," Wickard said. He told a Wells county agricultural achievement banquet audience that finding good markets for their agricultural capacity to produce was "the great problem" for farmers. “We must have full employ nient to be able to satisfactorily handle the farm problems of the postwar period," Wickard said. •'With mass unemployment, those problems will not be manageable for very long, no matter what farm programs we might employ." Wickard said the nation could be assured that agriculture would maintain its production —“just as it always has.” "But we must see to it that large production is a blessing to the American farmer and not a millstone around his neck.” he added. Federal programs of direct application and benefit to farmers

Report From Iwo By VICTOR HEYDEN, BMIC United States Coast Guard Reserve The following poem was written shortly after D-Day at Iwo Jima while the author was on duty aboard a Coast Guard-manned LST. Heyden has been in the Coast Guard since July 15, 1942. There is no way to speak of those great Who lay before the ridge in cross Are Os mortar and of mountain gun. « The terraced slopes in every yard, . All previously marked and ranged -’ And mined, felt flame. No chosen vocables enumerate the courage Os those dead; there can no anguish match The weeping and the cursing of the maimed. No requiem is adequate for even one Marine. “Casualties moderate,” so ran the first conununnique. When they came in the long, black beach-received them, ~ Not all at once, in waves, ' That broke and rolled upon the pounded S Sand. They took it, and moved up. •/ More terrible than Tarawa the metal rain; More bitter than the salted Carthaginian plain ‘4 The redder stain sodking still the red hilt. On the fifth day the flag went up on Hot Rock'e top. The heart and flesh of each Marine may deliquesce. That other part which does illume the heart, Glorious with agony and pride, , Shall freight the warring unchaste wind And unforgotten soar and ride.

are u<*ed p <l "as a matter oi simple justice" and "because it is essential to a full national economic stability." Wickard said. The Hoosier cabinet member favored soil conservation, price supports and the evei'-notmal granary programs. He asked for expansion of the school lunch program and a revival of the food stamp plan f<»’ avoiding undernourishment among the poor. o Bowser Appointed State Fire Marshal Undianapolis, March 21 (IP) Carter 1.

COALCONFERENCE (Continued rvonn Page One) government has warned, however, that the nation cainnot afford even the briefest stop in production. Lewis has 'been talking on the Royalty issue since last Saturday. He wan’s the approximately $60,0(00,009 (IM) .annual coutriibution for hospitalization and insurance for his 400.04)0 UMAV memlbers. The money would be paid to the Union which would administer Hs expenditure. The Union chief has steadfastly refused for three days to negotiate on other VBW demands or the operator’s three counter-proposals which they claim would' give the miners $1.69 more per week. (H-- asked the producers to call a national conference of all operators to discuss the royalty. They refused. The operators called a press conference yesterday, however, to report that the negotiations ware making no progress. (Lewis replied that he was not discouraged. ULM'W memliters will vote one week from today on whether they want to strike to enforce their demands. The government'was understood ready to seize the 5,000 bituminous mines, if necessary, to prevent any work stoppage.
