peal TO the immigration committee

ing action on the proposed quota

abuse OF power" by immigration Of
ficials, stating that many American
citizens Of Mexico descent had been
deported, and that their conStitu-
tional rights were being violated.

vestigation Of all phases Of the pro-
blem will be made by sub-commit-
tees. In the event this is done the
bill will not be reported at this

angle of the situation before the
