The Catholic Connitted for Refugees has provided a corporate affidavit
for 200 Roman Catholic persons, and has indicated it will increase the
number where it becomes necessary. The International Rescue and Relief
Cormittee has provided a corporate affidavit for 500 people. This group
is non-sectarian and is interested in specified individuals.
The National Refugee Service has signed a corporate affidavit for
3500 people and will increase this number whenever it becomes necessary.
The Hebrow Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society has signed a
corporate affidavit for 4500 Jewish persons.
The Vaad Hatzala Emergency Connittee is interested in Orthodox Jews.
It is especially interested in Orthodox Rabbis, scholars and their children
and has signed a corporate affidavit for 1000 persons.
The United States Committee for the Care of European Children has
signed a corporate affidavit for 2000 children and is the only organization
authorized to sponsor unaccompanied children. They are willing to place
on their corporate affidavit and make plans for the care of all unaccompanied
children under eighteen years of age among the displaced persons group who
are orphans, or presumed to be orphans. When there are groups of children
who are brothers and sisters and some of the group are over eighteen years,
the U. S. Committee will take care of the entire group.
As of August 7, 194 6, approximately 3452 aliens have arrived in the
United States under this project. (It is necessary to approximate the
number because, although it was intended that all of the immigrants should
travel to the United States on board the SS. Marine Flasher and SS.
Marino Perch, some aliens to whom visas were issued entered the United
States by other means of transportation and at ports other than New York).
The SS. Marine Flasher has made throo trips arriving at the port of New
York on May 20, 1946 with 794 displaced persons, on June 18, 1946 with
587 such persons, and on July 15, 1946 with 360 displaced persons. The
SS. Marine Perch has made three trips, arriving at New York on May 24, 1946
with 564 displaced persons, on June 24, 1946 with 606 displaced persons,
and on July 27, 1946 with 541 displaced persons.
The following chart shows the number of aliens which each of the
foregoing organizations has sponsored and the number of displaced persons
who have been sponsored by individuals:
