One-time Penniless Immigrant
Paying Passage for 3000 DPs
By H. D. QCIGG
New York, Nov. IS (U.R) A white-haired, shabby woman of 70
tottered off the army transport General Muir and knelt on the
wooden dock before a plump and moist-eyed man from San
Francisco.
Then she kissed his hand and touched his clothing. She wept
and George Mardikian wept.
"God is going to give you long
life for saving us," the old lady
said.
"I know practically every one
of them," Mardikian said later.
"But I wish they wouldn't do
that.
"They cry and they call me
their savior. I am not that,
am only a very stubborn man,
Mardikian Is the man who
promised more than 3000 Ar

rope he would let their "more
fortunate brothers and sisters in
America" know about their
plight.
He started that job in 1947.
He founded and headed up the
American national committee to
aid homeless Armenians an or
ganization that now has 62 U.S.
branches with five to seven per
sons in each branch and not a
single paid worker in the whole
lot.
The committee, known as
Ancha, with Mardikian as its
driving force, has resettled 2400
of Mardikian's kinsmen since
October, 1948. There are 1,100
more to come.
Mardikian thinks he can get
them all here in six months. He
says the job had better be fin'
ished by then, or he may be finished.
He was in a hospital six weeks
ago for a major operation. When
the doctor told him the opera
tion and convalescence would
keep him in the hospital five
weeks, he balked.
The doctor said he couldn't
leave. Mardikian, a stubborn
man, said the operation could
wait; those 1,100 DP's couldn't.
He left, and today he's on a
three-week east coast tour.

money. Sunday, Providence,

then into New Jersey, to New
York, Washington, Philadelphia,

Mardikian arrived penniless
in this country from Armenia 27
years ago ("the 21 pervious
years I lived on the other side
wasn't worth a damn") and got

San Francisco.
Now he's one of the most fam

coast. He made a fortune, and
he's spending a fortune.
