Nous quons peu pres totalement de teriel et de medic nts. Ce que vons pporte de Granville est insignificant. Nous mendions a droite et g upres des medecins l s, nous rri 1.0ns prendre quelques

ed.icaments dans les hopitaux allemo.nd.a, ·stout eel est tres insuffisant. Depuis on arrive ici, j'ai visite plusiq_u rs camps des environs ou tr vaillent des te s de l 'ID:RRA, parfois depuis 3 et 4 i , et tous les med cins se pl · gnent du manqu solu d edic nts. Il y 1 une situ tion i ne ut clurer et f · t 1 lu r d 02.-t a. l 'u,, ... ,.,n., en particulier dens l' opinion des med.ecins de l'o.nnee anglaise. C' st ainsi que, comme hygienistes, nous devrions proceder d s vaccinations system tiqu s.

Or le v ccin contre l va.riol ne monque pas ailleurs, pas plus que le T •• B.

Le rsonnel de l'UNRRA, recrute d'ailleurs suivant des regles tres differents selon les p s, st f'orcement tres ineg • Le personnel medical est, je crois, le meilleur. Je vous vais di t comb· en j' va.is ete xced.e par l'attitude de la jorite des medecins f'rancais de l'UNRRA Granville et en Belgioue. Je dois dire qu'heureusement., en voyant a. l'oeuvre les edecins fre.ncais d s c s des nvirons, on en retire une toute autre impression. L plupart~ntre eux font tres consciencieusement leur travail., et d.ana des conditions particulierement difficile.

Le reste du personnel de 1 'UNRRA. est ssurement tres in:ferieur au personnel medico-social: medecins, lD.lrses, welfare. Pour ce personnel on pouvai t en effet b ser son choix sur des titres techniques precis et sur des ctivites anterieures. n revanche cun regle bien precise pouvai t p sider 8ll

choix des directeurs ou des au.tree officiers. Le resul ta.t s' en ressent forcement.

Je croi qu'on pourr ·t remedier a la plupart de ces inconvenients n organis t l'inspection reguliere des te s, ce qui n' xiste p D s m region il y bien une direction de"l' area.", a nnsdorf, pres de Hanovre., direction assuree par le Colon l Clif'ton. ais cette direction s'occupe

L'of:f'icer a.n,glais qui en av it la charge nous a dit que notre pres nee, non seulement ne serait pa.s utile, ma.is meme serait nuisible au bon .fonctionnement du cmnp.

10 ugust 1946

Gentlemen:

r·should like to take the occasion of the assembly of all your delegates and staff to exuress our personal as well as official appreciation for the many substantial contributions which your organization has made to the important vocational training and rehabilitation program for the Displaced ersons Operation, Germany.

It is cleer to us here that your sixty years' record of experience in many countries with vocational training and re-training of refugees in agriculture and in skilled trades is being continued and enlarged in the course of your activities with displaced persons. Thus we feel that your contribution constitutes more than the many valuable supplies of tools and other equipment, but extends also to your leadership position in the principles and methods of training and re-training. e have noted, also, your continuous emphasis on the selection and instruction of teachers from among the displaced persons themselves. This demonstration and example has been an encouragement to UNRRA and also to the other agencies associated with us.

Your extensive provision of tools and supplies has been matched by the application of the tested principles of organization, development and guidance of vocational training programs for refugees which you have acquired in the long and splendid history of your organization. Thus both materially and in leadership the orld ORT Union has taken a lead nosition in the all imuortant task of rehabilitation which must follow the liberation of Europe.

Thus, we should like to thank you in the name of the displaced persons for the machinery, tools and raw materials which you have provided, and also to congratulate you and your organization for adding another splendid chapter to your distinguished record.

For and in the absence of the Chief of Operations,

Yours

The resident, orld ORT Union Conference,

29th June ,1946.

LL Rt:Ci• · --~- \\ ~~l«- l~/f!. Date_, 4 J\ \ r'f I,,/; · · · · · Rd1-,-- · _!J.!-1- .. -r

In confirmation of our telephone conversation of last night, I should be glad if you would be advised by these presents that every one of my UlR people granted leave from Germany to visit the ·.res tern Hemisphere must travel by air. This is ti1e one condition on which I am granting leave. If it is otherwise then I shall, of necessity, have to cancel leave granted, since my strength is falling so low that I cannot afford to have people absent from Germany for more than the absolute minimum period.

I am aware of the ERO attitude in the matter mich is based mainly on complete ignorance oft e fact that \\hat they refer to as my 1ission contains over 5,000 people, as distinct from the dozen or so that comprise every other ission in Europe, except yours. There is also of course an element o.f bloody-mindedness that I fear is present in most of our dealings.

I sympathize lith your position in the matter, and -I want to do everything possible to absolve you from any sort of risk in the affair. I gather that some pettifogging clerk in London has had the bright idea that I should personally sign every leave pass to everybody on leave from Germany . There are, of course, many hundreds of people who will need air transport on leave to the ·1estern Hemisphere, the Antipodes, or 'frica, or some such place, and they live scattered throughout Germany from hell to breakfast, as the saying goes. It is absurd to suggest that their papers should travel around so that my signature may be obtained. If you consider that my si ature is necessary, I shall be glad if you vould forward me a supply of some sort of certificate that ould satisfy you, so that I may sign in a spare moment a few thousands that you could fill in as you felt so minded. To cover any outside case, I enclose, as I promised .to do, my blank cheque to you, which you can use as necessary to ensure that there is no delay in my people getting away.

The whole affair of this overseas leave is of course a piece of glaring mal-administration, but e are now committed to it, and must therefore make the best of a thoroughly bad job. hat I want to impress on you is that I wish to make myself entirely responsible in the matter, and ask merely for your help, and not in any ~ay that you

I enclose herewith a letter in Polish received from a Polish Group in Genillef ( Ind re et Loire) , France. A translation which was made for us by the Polish Legation is likewise attached.

As apparently the group has sent a copy of thi letter to the Director General in Vashington, I thought it would be useful to send you the attached in order that you are in possession of the full facts in case you feel that you can render some assistance to this people. •

AROLSEN.

1st March , 1946 .

M.y dear

/ I have your cry from the heart 1 dated the 22nd January . It reached me on the 26th

idem. On making enquiry from USFET, as you wished me to do , I find that you have already been granted a stay of execution for a further 28 days. But, '1Villie, what are you going to do at the end of that 28 days? Are you going to ask me once more, I will not say to perjure myself, but to stick my neck out in that direction on your behalf?

You have all my sympathy in your difficult position , but it seems most unsatisfactory that your precarious equilibrium should depend upon my unofficial demarches to our mutual friends in Frankfurt .

If you do wnnt me to function some more, {one does what one can), may I make so bold as to ask you to give me a bit more warning. I don't know if I should be successful , but you may rest assured, my dear iillie , that my services, for what they are worth , are herein, as ever, completely at your disposal .

Things up here pursue their normal UNRRA course . From the weather one would judge that we are approaching Christmas . ·,'/hether it is next Christmas or last Christmas cannot for certain be stated.

Yours ~

Brigadier The Hon . .Tilliam Fraser, DSO ,LiC . , Chief , UNRRA dssion to ]'ranee , 48 Boulevard ~aillot, Neuilly-sur- Seine , PARIS , France .

REPORT CN COMPlAINTS MADE BY HR. GABLER

REOARDINT TIE MESS AT Tl£ OXFORD & c»ERIDGE HOTEL

-.-----.,-----=~----------

On r onday, November 19th. Mr. GABLER transmitted to Brigadier FRASER various cmplairt.s purporting to come trm his start regarding the messing an-angement1 at the oztord & Cambridge Hotel.

In substance. the coaplaints were as follows:

l. Pood supplied inadequate. Full ration being drawn but not being issmd.

2. The sugar allowances se"ed at meal ti1111s •aunnecessarily restricted.

3. That stockS rL rupplles were belrg accumulated.

4. 5 lmlvldual rations "ere being withdrawn tor private uae.

S. That Mr. BRlILLY was being ,m,ngtully suppllell With meat drawn from the ~ rations.

6. That a ramt,er or A and C r ations being dra"n "ere In excess or what "aa actually required.

7. niat rood was being carried out or the stores illegally.

a. That the charge tor meals rL 75 trarcs per dq was excessive.

The answers to the foregoing are as tollowsa

l. There Is a vartarce or opinion or this potre. u many people state that too lll1ch tood ts sentd and scme has to be returned. Regarding rations, it was pointed out that full rations are Issued to each person aoo a few extra are drawn to meet the needs of transients whose rumt>er varies trm tlme to t ••

2. It was pol nted out that there had been a wastage or s..igar aoo fer thl a reason the head-,eiter was rationing It out, sp00ntul by spoonful. Th1S arra,-•ent however bad been cancelled and now qar ls being placed on the tables ln inUvlul containers. so that it '6S possible tor each to take llhat he required.

... , ...

• 3. Th! s stateme nt was erroneous as the apparent acct11111latl on er stocks

was actualJ.y the balance left over frcm the previous asnotmts supplied under earu er arrangements to the mess at 48, Bel. Halllot. At present It 1 a essentl al that at least three days supplies be kept awdlable. Hr. DELPEUCH was drawing In acconlance ,rlth the allocation by the A1111Y iatch supplies as were reqU4nd to provide full meals to the l'lUlllbers concerned. On certain occasions. havtng saoe stock on han:I, fcr example, bread and tinned food, he restrained from taking the full Slllount to llltllcb he waa entitled.

4. This stat•ent ,ras emphatically denied., Only two rations are withdrawn and thea• In a regular way, duJ.y authorized.

This stateme~ was refuted by Hr. BARBER 1G Mr. ORTIL Hr. McGILL Investigated it personally, checked at each point and room it had no roumatlon In fact..

6. The number or residents anti st.arr at the oxtord & Caid>ridge Hotel totals from 90 to 100, deperr:1~ on a number ot resider£s fluctuating between 64 am 72. 20 A rations were sent to Boulevard 11alllot to meet the needs or UlfUlA ort1cera feeding there and to supple•nt the requlrelll9nts or the doastlc start and the 100 c rations tar the locally recruited start. There was an obYlous 1111aconceptlon or what constituted a c ration. It was pointed out that a c ration ls a contlllefeal ration provldl ng one meal dai J.y r rr localJ.y recrul ted starr. Wat'klng with UNRR.l.

7. This statement is wlthat& proof. Arrangements tor checklig in &M Ol£ supplies have been Investigated. This accuaati on reflects on the persoaal Jntegrtty or one ot three persons: The hotel amer, the hotel manager ar Mr. DESPEUCH, wbo possess the only keys to the strr.. It has not been poaslble to trace any deticlencles

In the sounts ct supplies on hand, nor corTd><ratlon or the accusation.

S. 75 rranca are all<Med by- the Administration rcr aesslng expenses. It less were charged, the allowance would require to be reduced acconlingly.

I lave to report an unpleasant lncldent tnat occurTed in the dinlng•roaa or the oxrcrd & Cambridge Ho el, on Saturd~ enntng, 17th ot Nowllll>er l~S.

During the service ot dinner, my att ert.ion was drwn to the rude and unger£leaanl.7 behaviour or Dr. MEYER. He complained loudly regarding rood to the waitress ard In tum to the head-waiter. His belBvlour towards the matter was bullying and insultl~. Hts la~uage was objectionable ard unrestrained 1n ~ite or the preseroe or ladles 1n the ro

The head-watter was grossly an:l l.tnjusttt1abl.J humiliated. Hls dinner-jacket was soiled down the rront by the plate w1lch was tbrust, almost rlun& at him by or. tf:lER. who dennnded rood other than that on the me 111.

The head-Walter called over the cash girl ard at thls point I rour¥1 lt recessacy to lrt.enene. I stepped C11fer aro enquired .. fhat all the tI'Qlble was about, and rece1ftd In reply: •Who the H ••• are yrM?• When Dr. HEYER' s tone lBd been acxUrled, I gave my nae and advised hl11 that this matter was very naich my concern and I 1nv1ted hlm outside to m'lka his complalnta. I told ht■ that his behaTIClUr was moat o~entle nly and ask.ed hlm to cort.rol his lan age. I explained that tbe bead-Walter had no control

over the kitchen or the ccapositton ot the meal and that a mem was displayed at the entrance ror all to see, so tmt there was no occasion to reed there 1t be dld ncr. like the llllrllo

The menu in question was strictly In acccrdance wl th that preacr·lbed rcr supper on November 17th by the oruce ot the Theatre Chier, H. mm, on whose authority supplies are procured r<r, and utlllzed ln, tbl mesa.

I learned later that ax> rra~s were given by Dr. HEYER. presumably in recompense r or the damage done to the bead-waiter• s s.tlt. I apologized to the head-waiter, whose behaviour thraJ&bcut was most correct under the ■ost tryln& clrcU11Stanc11. Incidentally he stated that neb durlrg the entire 011.Wn occupation he had nev r been so treated.

Athletic .fields and equip­ment should be seoured from the German population. Sohool rooms tor children should be provided.

Necessary guarding should be done by displaced per1ons themselves. on the volunteer syatem and without arma. W.li­tary BUpervieors may be employed but will not be used aa sentries except in emergency. h"'verything should be done to encourage displaced persons to understand that they have been freed from tyranny and that the supervision e:x­eroiaed over them is merely that necessary tor their own protection and well-being and to facilitate esaential maintenance. In anticipation of Winter months they should be enoouraged to provide tor themselves the greateat poaai­ble amounts of tu.el.

Frequent inspections by commanders of all grades are man­datory. Incompetent perscnn 1. either in the civil or military organizations should be inatantly relieved by the Army Conan.and r.

My dear

CmTRAL HEADQUARTERS UNRRA. HOCHST GERMNY

via BAOR

9th October, 1945

Thank you for your letter of the 3rd Ootober on the subject of tbis most distressing question of the dismissal of the Frenoh personnel. I entirely agree that the whole affair is really most disgraoef'ul and I do so hope and trust that I shall be able to do sanething that will preTent too much of this happening in the future.

I don't quite gather fran you whether you have been able to dispose of the cases that have alreaey given rise to canplaint. If not I do not see hovr we can very well take retrospeoti ve action in the matter.

As reaa,rds the future, I ha.Te been pinning great hopes on the arrival and installation of General L,nolws on whan I should be Tery glad to have your report. I have news todey' that he has not made-a very good impression at the European Regional Office.

Most unfortunately I have failed yet to contact General Koenig. I was to have flown over to see him on Sat\.ll'dq but the weather closed in on me and I had not time to go by road. Now I hear he can't see me until the middle of next week at the earliest which is vezy distressing.

Incidentally, you should know that I am taking a step which will, I hope, tend to better relations saanhat, in that I am hoping to be joined here very shortly by Dr. Simon now in lilxembourg. He was up here tor the weekend and I had one or two talks with him and tozmed the impression that as an inoiv.idual he is quite first class. Frau. what he says I gather he should be all r.i.ght with De Ge.ulle, but I know nothing of his standing in relation to the other chief actors in the drama. It would be a help to have a..eything that you know as regards his standing with the Governnent or with the Antry.

I did what I could at USF.ET t~ as regards the several administrati Te points that you raise. I have asked the Chief of Staff if saneone could be delegated by him to treat with you in the matter. But as I see it, whatever arrangements you make with the

(.American A'l.flf3' can be only temporary since it is their intention to clear out of France at the earliest possible manent which mey- be so soon as November or Deoember.

- 1 -

• - 2 -

Thereafter I suppose you deal direct with the French authorities, presumably civil without a.ey intennedia.zy and in that case I wish you the best of luck. ' But let me know if there is arzything more I can do to assist.

Yours ~

Brigadier The Hon. W. Fraser, DSO, MC, Chief, UNRRA Mission to Frame, 48, Boulevard Maillot, Neuilly-sur-Seine, FRANCE.

Issuance of Military Permits

Thank you for your letter of 25 September 1945 regarding the above-mentioned employees. We have for some time been concerned about the problem of those UNRRA employees now in the field who are not in possession of Military Permits. At the moment nominal rolls are being prepared or all continentals in the U. s. and British Zones. As soon as they are received in this office, they will be forwarded to the Combin~d Travel Board in Berlin where the permits will be issued.

We hope, therefore, that it will not be too long before this situation is cleared up and your orfice will not have to be inconvenienced.

Dear Brigadier raser:

21 September 1945

Reference i made to your letter of 18 September to Fletcher Kettle in which you indicate the difficulty you are hav ng in Paris in finding adequate personnel for your operations, and reruest the release to you of Miss Dorothy Bradley. As you know, she has served most capably here and it is with great regret that we give our agreement to the transfer.

Miss Bradley will be available on or about 1 October. She is on an ERO budget line and I was informed by telephone from the Personnel Office in London that she was classified, as of 19 September, as an administrative assistant, Grade 5, $2400. She has taken no annual leave since she left London for this Operation.
