Allies To Decide Refugees' Fate
Washington, (INS)—A high authority yesterday disclosed that a total of 600,000 European political refugees have been permitted to enter the United States since Adolf Hitler came to power ten years ago.
Approximately 250,000 have been brought into this country during the past three years.
This is one of the main reasons why further mass movements of European refugees to this country in the near future will be opposed by the U. S. delegation to the Anglo-American refugee conference, which oened in Bermuda yesterday.
Establish Temporary Camps
In view of the large number of refugees already brought into this country, and the strictness of the American immigration laws, this government believes that an effort should be made to establish temporary camps for the persecuted peoples of Europe in neutral European countries as well as in Africa and the Middle East.
Shortage of shipping and the heavy demands of the allied war effort are considered by American officials to make it extremely difficult to transport thousands of refugees from Europe to this hemisphere.
Another controlling factor behind American oposition to the movement of large numbers of refugees to this country is the difficulty of transporting them across the Atlantic.
Danger of the refugee ships being attacked by Axis submarines also is viewed as an important reason why efforts should be made to provide camps for the persecuted peoples on the other side of the Atlantic.
The government is prepared to join with the other United Nations in helping to finance the maintenance of such refugee camps, providing private relief organizations share in the cost.
The American government also considers it advisable to provide temporary asylum for the refugees as near as possible to the areas in which they are now, so that they may be returned to their homelands with the greatest expedition following the termination of hostilities. Move Refugees to North Africa
One of the questions which will be discussed at the Bermuda conference will be the possibility of moving political refugees from Spain to North Africa.
There are known to be thousands of French. Polish, Greek, Czechoslovakian and other political refugees in Spanish concentration camps. Spain is believed to be willing to release them providing arrangements can be made for them to proceed to North Africa.

Publishers Meet In New York
New York, (INS)—War-born problems of manpower shortages, newspaper restrictions, transportation curbs, and rising publishing costs lead the list of subjects to be discussed by America's publishers meeting this week in New York.
The multiple problems of getting out a newspaper have risen sharply since the 56th annual convention of the American Newspaper Publishers' association a year ago, and discussions will explore many angles of those problems.
The first general session of the ANPA will open tomorrow when problems of newspapers in the upo-50,000 circulation group will be discussed, but today the circulation committee of the association is meeting to talk over labor problems.
A number of independent organization meetings, traditionally held in connection with the ANPA convention also will open, among them, the 14th annual convention of the National Newspaper Promotion Association.
Beating the gun on all the press meetings, the American Society of Newspaper Editors of which Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, is president, held its annual directors' meeting yesterday to clear its calendar for the ANPA sessions.
During its sessions, the ANPA will elect four officers and five directors. Linwood I. Noyes of the Ironwood, Mich., Globe, currently vice president, is expected to succeed Walter M. Dear, co-publisher of the Jersey City, N.J., Journal as president.
Japan Is Most Dangerous, Says Australian Minister
New York, (INS)—Dr. Herbert Evatt, Australian foreign minister, asserted yesterday that there would be a "most violent objection" to a strategic policy involving the "futher consolidation of Japanese gains." Asserting, however, that the allied high command's policy of "Beat Hitler first" does not involve "so drastic a consequence," "Doctor Evatt told a news conference that Japan, rather than Hitler, "offers the most dangerous threat to the European, or the Australian, or the American way of life."

Edward Hable Trains To Navigate Clipper
Edward J. Hable, who was graduated from the University in 1937, is undergoing flight training at La Guardia Field, N.Y.
Mr. Hable joined Pan American Airways Atlantic division in 1941 as a flight steward and transferred recently to the navigation section. Before joining Pan American he served on ocean-going ships and was employed in hospitals, and hotels. He has studied three forms of navigation used in directing clippers along their transatlantic supply routes, radio, celestial, and dead reckoning. He has also completed training in meteorology and in the use of the ship's emergency equipment.
When he has finished 250 hours of air time aboard flying clippers, Mr. Hable will be qualified to navigate one of the over-ocean flying boats.
AAUW Will Give Benefit Dance
The Lawrence branch of the American Association of University Women are planning a dance and game room benefit April 30 open to the public. Mrs. F. P. OBrien, president of the branch has appointed committees to plan varied activities, so that there will be something to interest all comers. Both floors of the Community building have been rented for the occasion.
The Fun Test will not no profit to the Association's treasury, since the proceeds will be given to the branch's annual scholarship for a K.U. student and to the community recreation fund, said Mrs. OBrien. Every year since the founding of the Lawrence branch, a scholarship has been awarded to help defray the expenses of some high ranking student.
