Onoo egain during tho month the Class II budgot has boen out. We are now working on a oomplato minimum and it is mpoa"ei'blo to roduoo below this numbor wi tho.\i·Cgiv:i.ng ovor control of the oemp to the DPs.

DISPLACER PERSONS SELF-GOVERNMENT,

Considoreblo difficulty is boing oxpariencod over tho out in D.P. wages ospocially ae regards tho camp comrnittoo and tho various cookhouso staffs_.

If tho camp oommittea aro not paid by UNRRA thoro will undoubtedly be a lack of cooperation on thoir part. In p~esent times with the reduced Class II Staff it is even more imp ortant than ever th~t a spirit of co operation exists botwoon tho oommittoe and the administration,

However, hare in this camp with a mixed population and a mixod oommittaa tho troublos will be one far smallor soalQ than would bo oxpo~ionood in a oomplotoly Jowish Camp.

L004L PUBLIC RELATIONS,

On tho 18th of May a quarrol betwoon tho Grooks and Jrme broko out ~n Camp. The Quostura wero approached and askod to eond fiva or si.7 carabini~ri to tho camp in oaso ~ny moro eorioue troublo oocurrod,

• • VIII. GENER.AL bys MAJOR G.S, GOODE - Camp

On tho whole tho Camp is running fairly smoothly. I must onco again ropoat and stross tho fact that tho oxporimont of keeping Jewish and non-Jewish DPs in ono Camp has turnod out to bo ontirely satisfactory. Of oourso minor difforoncos of opinion, etc., aro bound to happon, but those Are entirely offsot by tho smooth running e.nd spirit of CP mpoti tion which exist be two on tho various groups.

As we are now without tho services of a Wolfflre Offioor a groat daal of extra work is thrown on tho othor membors of tho staff. As most of the DPs in Camp apo future American citizens, I w.ould stress thAt it would be proferablo to havo an Am3rioan jolfaro Officor.

Tho numbor of DPs emigrating oithor to tho U.S.A. or VoEuola is prooooding slowly. Tho DPs hflvo wild hopos that the State Departmont will roviee the emigration laws in tho near future and allow them all in in a short poriod of timo.

Tho Dps aro of course extromsly worried about thoir future and oaoh day we do our bost to correct tho many orronoous rumours which aro circulating in tho Camp.

4. CAMP CLINICS.

Every Tuesday we have the childro-n3 Clinio.. "The f'r"aqu.oncy of the Clinic is not satisfactory. Only when thore is something distributod at tho Clinic (for exampl0 chocolate) tho children com~ in greater numbers. Also the advertisement of tho Camp Committoe for presenting of the children to tho Clinic romained without offect .

In the last period we have a scale for the weighing and measuring the height of the children.

The average health condition of the examined children is generally satisfactory. I havo occasions very often in the Camp, to see the children and I must state that thore is a very groat number of them who are very dirty on tho play­grounds.

Every Thursday we havo tho Clinic for babies and nursing mothers. The frequencY. is satisfactory and also the stato of thoir health. The most of them have a weight over their ago. All are held clean and carefully treated.

Fridays there is e Clinic for pregnant woman. Tho fro­quency is good thanks to the part, that at tho Clinic their wookly milk supplement is distributed. Health conditions of them is good.

DENT.AL CLINIC.

Dr. Zogas is running, with his mochanio; · um.or tho prosont circumstancos his Clinic satisfactorily. Ofton ho gots into conflicts with the pstients who demand various works whi,oh ho is not obliged to do (Crowns, bridgos, oto.) H0 also oxam ined tho steto of toe th at the Child rens Clinic and ·found tho most of them with bad tooth, and ordorod thorn in my presence to oall on tho D,ontal Clinic for ropair. Of tho 35 to h~v0 treatment only one called.

6. DIET KITCHEN .

The food in the 1iet kitchen is not good . We feed about a hundred people and we only get 5~- of the Can p popul<>tions Medical comforts. On the other side we havo no cooks who are able to prepare the scarce supplies in a practical way . Mrs . Morpurgo, the kit.chon suporvisor, was sont to tho Diot Kitchen for A wook's time and there was evidently a big impro vemont and th0rofore it would bo daairod that sho bo omployod permanently .

The number of dogs in the Camp has increc1sod c1nd I su,·ge st that tro s,mo be given poisoned food .

With tho oncoming of the groat number of flies strict measured should be .takon for the removal of the garbage-cars which could boa groc1t source of danger for tho fact that flios carry diseases about.

VI I. GENER.AL By: YJJOR G.S, GOODE - Camp Director

During th~ period under review the camp was visited by the following personnel from Romes

i. Mr. Louis Varrichione 2. Mr, C,S. Wyatt 3. ?,Tr. J. Wright 4. Mr. F. Sturdy 5. Dr. c. Jones 6. Miss :Ea~ Buschlen

These visits are most welcome. In this manner Romo Personnel have a much batter picture of our problom& pnd we ~an -thus. got sympathetic cooperation.

The camp is still full and no accommodation is available for Welfare projects or dining rooms. On l~jor C.S. Wyatt's visit here a request was made for tan nissen huts or similar constructions in order to provide accommodation for theso essential needs.

If the dining halls are not considered essential then i n any case we will require four nisaen huts for Welfare purp os es (schools etc.)

In general tho camp is running smoothly in spito of the reduced staff. The majority of the D,P.'s have the spirit and tho will to work and I consider this is mainly duo to tho mixed population of the camp. Ohce the Jewish and Non-Jewish D.P.'s overcome their initial difficulties - tho ~amp thiives on the spirit of competition.

GENERAL. By: MAJOR G.S. GOCIIDE - Cap Director.

The Camp is full - in fact overfull with more than one thousand one hundred and fifty people. To accommodate this extra hundred people we have had to use a recreation hall for living quarters. This is not a very satisfacto±y arrangement and as soon AS other accommodation is available this will be disponsod with.

The firo which occurred in tho st ff kitchen on tho morning of the 18th was tho subject of a separate report. The cause of the firo still remains 9 mistery.

Since tho departure of tho Polish Train on tho 4th of January tho Camp Staff hAs boon depleted. Major F_osto'", tho Camp Wolfaro Officer AccompAniod tho train and ho has now roon terminated. Miss l:9ry Loowon has boon tho solo '/olfaru Officer in C mp. Tho addition of another Welfare Officer on the staff of tho camp would bo nost wolcomo. Whilo.it is j)ossiblo to carry on for a wook or so with a reduood staff -for longer periods it is impossible. Tho work and officioncy of tho C~mp stBff oto. is bound t0 suffer.

Owing to tho Lecea movos tte camp hes boon short of transport during tho month. On tho wholo tho transport situation should be much improved n ow that it is oontralizod At Bari.

SUBJECT: BARI 197 CAMP.

With reference to the two letters brought fran Rane by Mr. Lund with regard to Bari 197 Camp, I submit herewith a memorandum I have distributed setting out the changes in personnel involvedo

In consultation with Mro Ltmd, we decided upon taking Mr. JotiAs fran Bari to Lecce, to which Group he was originally assigned as Camp Operating Services Officer, and he ·will now be employed on Group level as Acting Operating Services Officer. This change was necessary as it would appear that there is no :immediate possibility of an Admin. Assistant being appointed, and in view of the cha.nges in Maglie and Supply perso?ll'lel about to take place.

SUBJECT: Move fran Southern Canps

The rainy season is setting in ani there is no doubt that the situation in the South will be bad. People will be coming to ask for repairs, improvement of their living. quarters ani other considerations.

As I am supposed to leave for the South for a short course '( three days) of the .• o.s., during which time the problem of remova1 of the camps ,vill arise, my suggestion is that no definite action for all camps be ta.1'::en, but that you consider the follovr.ing:

~ 1)

. 2)

4)

6)

..... 7)

To propaganiize the improved facilities in Northern camps.

To invite the leaders to go North and inspect the camps.

To allow a choice of the three camps available.

To invite all those dissatisfiei with their housing to move North; not make any repairs presently.

To declare that t i:.e continued occupation of dwellings req)lisitioned of Italians is no ·longer fair, since other places are available; i.e. the Northern camps. (This occupation is definitely bad for DP public relations, as Italy must agree to a further influx)•

..., II " To provide better training facilities -- Hachsharoth nearby.

I/ ,.,. l4_ The point is often made that there people live very comfortably in whole villages, so why give~ priority? That rather it should be given to qamp people in Germany, Italy and Austria, with a view to the elimination of camps.'' /

No.te;

Further to the Greek Difficulty, Lt.Catsicn.s from the"Greek Mission Rome" visited this Camp, 10th October 1946 and talked to all in-eligible Greeks, about repatriation and refusal to be repatriated. His talk bore little fruit however, for when the next boa. t load were detailed they . ..a.11 refused to go. Major Goode spent two hours talking to these people and eventually got 39 on boo.rd. To my mind the Greek people have no faith in their Government or their representaives.

HOUSil'l"G ACTIVITIES:

The barracks are in process of being remodeled for winter and also better comfo:trt of D.P.'s

Hut No I will be open for 200 people in Transit only.

FEEDING ACTIVITIES:

Various complaints have been received about food issues. While. the scale of rations are issued correctly from the Ration Store. The D.P. 's o.re not satisfied with the quantity. I think D,P.

It is hoped a definite agreement will be reached by the povrers t hat be,on deterIT~ning the nationality of this poor mortals who term them­selves 11Russian-G-rceks., 11Germun-Greeks ~etc . It would be n. grr.i. teful gesture by the Greek Government to cho.rter n. moderately~ship and move the lot n.t one go.

During the week-ended 5th Octobor 9 B complete re-or ganisation of tho transport in the Southern Camps took pleco. With tho oxception of the F~rd Ambulance 3095 and Dodge 4133 9 all tho vohiclos previously in use here were disposed of in Accorde.nce with Group Transport Officer's lotter d~ted 21st Sept. 9 ref; c/T/,so/3A . So far as tho larger vehicles are o no8rned an improvement has baon cffootad by the introduction of the Cl JV. Van 6166 and mf.C 1297 9 whilst tho ot her vehiclos 9 genorally speaking~ arJ in better condition then those despatched to CINE CITT.l\' on tho 4th October . It will be observed tha t a Jeep has now been received in thie CEmp, but the position in r egard to smaller vohi~les romains tho s~mo as t:to Lancia Car . N° 5665430 was r eturned to the Town Major 9 54 l1rea TRIESTE; on tho 16th October, in accordance wi t h Romo Transport Officer ' s lotter drted 18th Sopterr~or, rofg J/l .

It need hardly be rep eeted that there is still an urgent nocess i ty for the other two jeeps required to hring our transport up to EPO allocation .

The Ford 15 cwt Z 5201996 will bo returned to R0 3 ~.P . R.S . C. Bl1HLETTi1 dur ing the next week after which no Ji . C. vehicles will remain on strength hero .

DRIVERS . The result of tho chant3"os in transport in tho Sou-t horn Cnmps

left six Italian Class II drivers rodun1ant in tho Bari Yotor Pool . Mr . P.AGE therefore roquustod that consideration bo givr:m t u tho question

• o .: discherging tho D .P. iri vors in this camp and thus finding jobs for t '.o Italian drivors who woulrl othorwise bo thrown out of work • . Although ttore were objections to ioing this chiefly because the D.P . drivers live in tho camp and are thereforo always available at any timo, it was folt that the roquest was a reasonable ono . The D.P . drivors have thus lost their jobs, but tho emplo.}rmont of Cl<iss II drivers has mR·de a big inore~se in the administrative work such as proper koopine of tioa sheets, expanses, and appointment of duty drivers as all th~ Italians livo with their familios in Bari . It was absolutely impossible for the Stores Officer to doal with all this additional work and a Cla2s II Italian Transport Despatcher was therefore eLgaged, having become redundant in the U17RR11 Yugoslav r.~ission, Bari. Mr . PAGE is of course officially in charge of the transport here, but the distan~e from LECCE makes it difficult for him to pay us anything but the most fleeting of vi~its . However on the occasions ~pon which he has been tore, his help h~s been of the utmost value, and it is felt that the transport section will gradually become more independent of the Stores Officer's su,er­v_;_sion thus enabling tho latter to give his undivid0d atte:'ltion to the p~oper supervision of the job for which ho is responsible.

Tho Greek Element in the ca,,,r, is still an oxtremel v compl 3X

problem. .As a r0sul t uf the conference held in RO~IB by }Tr o J.P. nmm on the 3rd October 1946, Lt. C.A'rSIK.AS - represo~ting the Gr00k E~bassy in RO]JE -~ came to the camp and s:pukE:i to alJ_ th'3 Greak inmat-n on t.ro 9th Oct. 1946 , I wish to oxpress my thanks to Lt. C.A':.1S::::1Z-~S for his visit but at the t;;ame time I mu~t say that in my opinio::1 v0ry li t·cle 0 c,od has been accomplished.

The main point of Lt. C.ATSIK.AS's talk was that tho i~oligible Grooks who wore rofusing repa ~riation 9 -Nore to bo gi von one.., moro chanco. If at that timo they rofusod again - UIJRR.A would no longo r assiot thorn and thoy would bo handed over to tho Italian authoritios.

Tho Grooks howovor do not bcli~va that this is tru J and thoy w1~l not boliovo it until it is a proven fact .

I suggost that tho bast way it can b o dona is to have a ship r; '.i ting in tho harbour capablo of taking say 200 refu r.;oo s. ThJ i· 10 ligible rofugoos would than havo to lo"vo 02mp ':lnd ei thor r;o on boe1rd s · ip to roturn to Gro3co or bo handed ovor to tho Ite.li9n e.uthoritios .

Of the 194 evacuated during the month 66 were direotly repatriat -to Greece on the ship II DOROTHEA PAXOS 11 .from BR.IlIDISI. This was the sub j e,, of a separate report and recornmendation.s. Two Albanians were repatriat ed directly to Albania. Seventy four refugees were sent to Cine Citta1 for repatriation.

During the month we had four refugees emigrating. Three went b y ship from BARI to the U.S.A. These three were the first of the group holdi nr­afidavits to receive Visaes from the American Consul. We should have a l ot ·nore going with the next quota. The r emaining one emigrated to the U.K. havi ng received a visa for the purpose of marrying an ex-soldier.

Fifty three new displ aced persons were admitted and registered during the month. All the above arrived from the Field Welfare Offices with admittance slips.

At the present moment we have only approx 20 Greeks out of nearly 500 who have been cleared by the Greek r epresentatives and are ready for r epatriation.

• III. HEALTH STATE: BY Dr . Amedeo BONDI, S .M. O. ~~

Following is the report on the Camp Health for the period 20th August - 20th September 1946 .

No important changes on the camp general health whioh remainr s a.tis f ac to ry •

No epidemic cases occurred so far . Skin diseases and V. D. diseases are on the same low average .

The set up of the diet kitchen is now c ompleted . School children 9 pregnant women , outside- hos pital pa tients are fed well in the1·e ~ patients going on special medical diets case by case .

The sufficiency of milk supplies keeps babies 9 pregnant women, nursing mothers and children up to 14 years of age on a good nutritional state .

60 patients have been treated in the hospital during this period . A congenital- lues- patient received a penicillin treatment having the other cures repeatedly kept the blood test positive .

The big probl em of the hospital is t .b . c . patients . Six of them are in this camp hospital at the moment, one very seriously ill . It is to regret that such patients cannot be moved in Sanato r ies quick enough be i ng our hospital not fit at all for them .

One patient is receiving Pnoumotorax treatment ambulatorily; another one with an open t .b . of the glnndles has been waiting over a. mon·th to be transferred in a Sanatory after the application was made to the Italian authorities.

Medical i nspectio ns of pregnant women, children and kitohon 1 L

personnel are carri ed out as always . Blood and uri ne tests done to pregnant women .

The Staff health is satisfactory .

Hygienic and sanitary conditions remain good . Twice monthly barracks , kitchens, blanquets,l~ggages are spread with a solution of Creosol and Naphta and D. ] . T. powder .

At the moment one has to rely on the local Italin.n sources which are not very good.

Transport is still extremely bnd, We have still not got a single jeep in the camp and as a result the stuff often do not go out becnus, of the transport available.

3. Finance and Budgeting.

The Bari Sub-District Office is now making the financial payments for this camp and as n result every thing is much simpler,

As regards the personnel Budget - this was received during the month and forms OM 1, OM 2 and P 2 were submitted to ROME in respect of ea.ch person filling nn nuthorized position. As yet P 3's have not been received for these people nnd ns a result they have not yet received nny pay.

• 4, Displaced Persons Self-Goverruoont.

The Camp Committee b~s put in some very useful work during the past month. The Camp CD.nteen is now Wld.er their management and it appeors to be running more satisfactorily.

The Camp Committee is interesting itself in every thing in the camp which nppertains to the well-being of the inmates, In this respect it is of great assisto.nce to the Welfnre Bro.nch.

Local Public Relations ,

Apa.rt frcm the disagreement between the Greeks in my camp nnd the Yugoslav guards at 197 camp, which wo.s the subject of a sepnrate report, all local public relations remain good.

VII. GENERAL: • G.S. GOODE

r·. l W¾; D°'_,_, Crunp Director. ~

The Qr-eek ineligibles in the oamp n.re still n. rather complex pro bl er;,. 'l'he Greek representatives ore engo.ged at the present moment in re-screening all the Greeks to re-determire their position, especially as regards other nn.tio:ru:tlities cla:uning Greek na.tionaJ.ity.

The group of Greeks married to foreign born women now totals 1.34 (this total of course includes the wives), Many of the Greeks bel!eve that: the King on arrival in Greece will give permission for them to return to Greece accompanied by their wives. This would appear to be rather wishful thinking on their part. Over 100 Greeks are still awaiting a reply from the Greek Foreign Office as to whether they can be readmitted to Greece.

The UNRRA feeding programm continues smoothly in the camp. With the aid of the medical comforts - children and people on special o.iets - are able to have extremely good and appetising menus. At the present moment fresh fish is only procurable at a somewhat prohibntive price, and as a result, it is impossible to procure fresh fish twice weekly for the refugees. If fresh fish was purchased twice weekly - the budget would be most seriously over­spent. With the arrival of the dried fish which has been promised, this will no longer be a problem.

Tro.nsporto.tion still reIDD.ins a problem, The jeep which was promised us during August has still not yet arrived. Mr. PAGE, Transport Officer LECC:E, now tells me that three jeeps are being overhauled at Cine Ci tta I at the moment and when completed will be sent down to us. We sincerely hope this is so and that it will not be long before they arrive.
