One thing that is helping the people to remain calm is a taste of self-government. It was determined, when they arrived, to give them a direct sample of democracy in action. To this end, a general advisory committee of 10 was set up, headed by Leon Levi, a' Yugoslav lawyer. Its vice chairman, Dr.

Ernst Wolff, Vienna novelist, once was a script writer in Hollywood. Fredi Baum, a Yugoslav and brother of Mrs. Ruhvarger, is official interpreter.

Crocker. OSWEGO, N. Y. (JP) One of the first questions asked, when European refugees arrived at the war relocation authority's Fort Ontario emergency refugee shelter last month for the war's duration, was: "Will we go back to Europe?" The answer was, and still is, -yes," the WRA says. The refugee were brought to this country under a definite agreement that they would and many of them are looking forward to a speedy end to this European war, ho that they may regain their homelands.

This, the WRA says, is particularly true of the Yugoslavs, whose native land has escaped some of the devastation of other countries. Their 363 form the largest single gToup among the 1 differ- i i ent nationalities. The manner of the refugees' return has not been decided. Meanwhile, their attitude is typified by the calm resignation of Dr. Avram Ruhvarger, 32, and his pretty wife, Zdenka, 19, both Yugoslavs.

Only Complaint. Their onlv complaint: NOT ENOUGH WORK. "We are very happy to be here," both say, but Dr. Ruhvarger, working in the shelter hospital, adds "only one appendectomy; not enough to do." Work assigned to the refugees depends on their capabilities thus, some find themselves busy 10 or 11 hours a day in essential services, while others have nothing to do, There has been some agitation for outside employment, but the WRA has resisted this under the Washington originated policy that "we can't operate a public boarding house for people to go cut to work."

At present, about 100 refugees are employed in maintaining the camp's services three In the administrative office, four on reports, five on welfare, 24 on operations including plumbing and garbage disposal, 27 on health service, 14 on community Oswego for shopping.

Wider visiting privileges, on a restricted scale, may come later. Meanwhile, various Jewish welfare agencies, the Friends Service committee (Quaker), a Unitarian group and others have organized a central clearing house committee which helps with such projects as providing transportation for some school children and locating relatives whose homes are unknown the refugees.

The principle was laid down that buying should be done through Oswego merchants, on a grant basis, as a relief project, with grants based on local figures. Oswego stores wanted to cooperate, but were operating on quotas so that, as the WRA spokesman put it, "if they sold oil tVii hAnooHracBaa Vi a refugees, that would leave the Oswego residents without any. We had to appeal to the jobbers and manufacturers to increase their quotas, and so everyone got an initial grant. Clothing Grants.

"A basis for a continuing grant for clothing replacements was set, ranging from $4 a month for children under 10 to $8.50 for adults, to cover necessities. Relatives in this country also sent many clothes." The typical American diet had to be altered to provide dark, full-bodied bread, rather than white, and more milk was added. Education. Erich Wittenberg, a Czech who used to run a coal mine, set the stage for solution of the major problem of education for the 162 children. Wittenberg was busj' on this problem even before the refugees reached American soil Aug.

4. When the WRA officials began educational planning, he came up with a card index of those to be taught. Now, Wittenberg is head of the educational subcommittee of the general advisory committee, and is overseeing the teaching of his own two children and the 160 others who are attending Oswego schools. Oswego Teachers college is tak- they have joked about their wounds. Men who have escaped with lost limbs or burned faces are fully aware of what they are doing when they joke with a one-legged buddy about his stump.

Looking into the future they know they are helping him to get his anchors down for the civilian days ahead. ALL THIS JOSHING HIDES THE FINEST KIND OF LOY- ALTY. In their German prison camps these men have watched out for each other constantly. The one-armed have run errands for the one-legged; men with burned faces have read aloud to stretcher cases; all have shared human kindness under mutual adversity. And so, almost subconsciously, these returning American war- riors have been preparing a sort of protective covering against the time when they will don civilian clothing and try again to fit themselves into the kind of world from which they have so long been isolated.

Pictures and other publicity brought gifts and attention of a morale-building nature to the Europeans. But telephone calls from as far as California and some 5,000 or more visitors on the first "open house" day proved an upsetting influence.

"Those are men you are proud to have met," said one, who had just watched a one-armed sergeant carrying his one-legged buddy up the ship's windingstair-case, one kidding the other vigorously the while. "AS YOU SAY IN AMERICA, THEY'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES." Now, as the Gripsholm rears American shores, that tribute to American grit comes back. And in the minds of all, including your correspondent, who watched them as they boarded the ship there is no doubt of what these American repatriates have been doing out there in the Atlantic as the ship bea3 them homeward. Lots of Kidding. They have been subtly building a foundation for meeting life, handicapped by loss of limb, burned face, or recurring nightmare of battle and captivity.

And they have been doing it by that eld American method of rugged, I aight-f rom-the-shoulder kidding, from "velvet-glove" style to that of raw, uninhibited joshing, which is possible only among men who have shared the same terrible experiences.
