AUGUSTA, Ga. 10 , President1
Elsenhower today named Tracy S.
Voorhees, former Undersecretary
of the Army, to coordinate the
Hungarian refugee program and
study whether more than 5,000
should he admitted to this coun
try. White House press secretary
James C. HnKerty said Voorhees,
now a New York attorney and a
consultant to the Defense , Depart
ment, is Inking over the new as
signment Immediately and will
serve without pay.
The President recently directed
thai up to 5,0011 refugees , from
Soviet oppression in Hungary be
admitted to the United Slates. The
first groups have been arriving
at a reception center at Camp
Kilmer, N...1, and elsewhere since
Nov. 21.
Hngerty said anew today il has
been a possibility all along that
Iho quoin might he Increnscd to
more, than fi.OOO, He snid Voorhees
will study that matter with Scoll
McLcod, administrator of the ref
ligpc relief low.
At Iiiscnhnwcr's vncnlinn head'
quarters here, Hngerty said Voor-
hers will serve as Iho President's
personal representative "In con
nection with Hungarian refugee
and relief activities In this coun
try."
Hngerty said Eisenhower decid
ed lo appoint Voorhees to as
sure full coordination of this
work with the various voluntary
and government agencies, and he
has asked Mr. Voorhees lo see
sec that effective machinery Is
promptly set up lo accomplish this
purpose."
The President wants lo make
certain, Hngerty said, that both
the government and the volun
tary agencies "arc doing every
thing possible lo help these ref
ugees in obtaining employment
and housing in tills country."
Hngerty said Kisenhowcr
"wants to express his appreciation
of the important role the volun
tary agencies arc playing In help
ing to resettle In the United States
these relugivs from' Hungary. "
A principal reason for the ap
pointment of Voorhees, Hngerty
said, is that the government and
the voluntary ageniies have been
flnodrd with employment and
housing olfers for the retugees
"It was thought best," the press
secretary snid, "that we have one
man as the President's renresen
tntlve to coordinate this whole
work.
