WOMEN VOTERS
LEAGUE HERE
Regional Secretary in Bis
marck to Confer with Wo-
90
men on Organization

Mrs. J. R. Parkes of Minneapolis,
Regional Secretary of the 5th Dis
trict Of the League Of Women's
Voters, is in Bismarck interviewing
a number Of the ladies of this city
with a view to organizing a local
League of Women Voters. Mrs.
Parkes will not have time to inter-
view everyone bu< as far as she is
able will talk with all women who are
in anyway interested in political edu-
cation.
The League of Women Voters is
non- partisan in policy and multi
partisan in membership. 1t is not
o wonnan's party but an organization
Of women working FOR women-not
because women have separate stake
in government, but because their
simultaneous enfranchisement has
made them a group with . collec-
tive need for education and expert
ence; and because they can bring a
characteristic woman's viewpoint to
the solution of the nations problems,
she asserted.
The Department of international
Cooperation to Prevent War, is one
of the national planks endorsed by
the League of Women Voters. The
ratification of the >-lildren's Amend
ment in this state will be one of the
future pieces of work the League of
Women Voters will join hands ia
accomplish.
Mrs. Parkes hopes to get a mass
meeting in the course of few days
to which all women oi Bismarck are
especially invited. At this meeting
she will talk on the program and
plan of the League of Women Voters
and an open forum will be conducted
so that the women Of Bismarck car
thoroughly understand the purpose
of this particular work.
The time and place of this meet
ing will be announced later.

, wriggled proved too fine for 700
grown-ups, who arrived a few days
later on the steamer Dante Alighieri.
They were detained because'the rul-
| ing under which they had hoped to
be- admitted was rescinded while
| they were at sea. And now they are
held tight in the red tape of the
| immigration law.
SO infuriated were the passengers
| when their boat doeked, that riot inn
pended. Custom officers, secret SER
! vice men and city police were called
| to keep watch on them, and their
transfer to Ellis Island was delayed
for day.
| Little hope lies before them. For
| the Gottlieb decision, under which
| here had hopes of gaining admit,
| tance, has been reversed by the Su-
| pleme Court. ....
And now only deportation lies
| ahead of those who try to enter this
country after their country's quota
| has been filled.
These tragedies are but forerun-
ners of those that will come next
| month when the new quotas begin to
be filled. The mad race for passage
on boats due here July has already
been begun abroad. Many have al
ready been disappointed. And others
will be when they try to land.
| Repetitions of the Dantes case, in
which mother was separated from
her five children and deported, are
Inevitable, say immigration officials.
And some babies may not be as for
tunate as the Cullumbine boy.

BY ALEXANDER HERMAN
NEA Saryira Staff Wrifar

NEA Service Staff writer
New York, June 6-Through the
narrowing meshes of the close knit
immigration net has crept four
months old baby about to be deport-
ed as "excess quota"
He came from Yorkshire, Eng
land, with his mother, Mrs. Agnes
Cullumbine. He was going %
Youngstown. o., to join his father
who had never seen him.
But the Ellis Island immigration
officials held him up. For he was.
in the eyes of The law, British
alien. And the British quota had
been filled.
His mother, meanwhile had been
admitted as "first paper" Amcri-
can, who had gone abroad on a visit.
So there was nothing to do, accord
ing to the law, but admit the woman
and deport the baby.
Hurried appeal to Washington,
however, struck a responsive chord.
Acting Secretary of Labor White
read note of humanity into the
strict letter of law and ordered the
ckild's release.
His parents then took HIM for a
JOY ride up Broadway, over to the
railroad station, and caught the first
tiain out to Youngstown.
There Cullumbine, who has good
job as machinist, expects to remain
until his citizenship, as we'll as the
baby's, will be fully established.
This CALL" he says "has been too
close to wrecking our happiness"
