A Displaced Persons Act voted by Congress June 25 authorizes 400,000 homeless people to settle in the United States, but the DPs are charged to the quotas of their countries under the Johnson-Reed Law of 1924 (see McCarran-Walter Act, 1952).
Citizens of British Commonwealth nations gain the status of British subjects in the British Citizenship Act passed by Parliament July 30.
