Priest Backs Transfer
|0f Children s'bureau
10 Security Agency

The Right Rev. John O'Grady,
secretary of the National Conference
of Catholic Charities, today appeared
before the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee to support President Tru-
mans proposal to transfer the Chill
dren's Bureau from the Labor De-
partment to the Federal Security
Agency.
Father O'Grady, however, eau
toned that the integrity" of the
Chldren's Bureau should be main
tanned, especially in the field of
child welfare"
Stressing that childrens' program
is much different than various Fed
eral public assistance programs,
Father O'Grady said that If this
were changed 1T would represent a
decided setback in child welfare
1t would mean the building up of a
vast program of child welfare in
areas that are now covered by volun-
tary agencies"
The witness criticized what he
termed the efforts of some Govern
ment official to undermine the work
Of volunteer institutions and agen-
cies and asserted that he would like
to see Congress provide the Chill
drens Bureau with funds necessary
to carry out a large educational
program that would be helpful to
those engaged in voluntary service.
I'VE do not want to see the Chill
drens' Bureau program made part
of a general public assistance pro-
gram" Father O'Grady said. This
would represent a type of co-ordi-
nation that would be most harm
full to the whole program Of child
welfare in the United States. Child
welfare always had distinct char
acter. It must retain this char
acter."
The committee also heard the
testimony of Budget Bureau officials
concerning the intent of President
Truman's three reorganization plans
for various Government agencies.

81 Fiancee Bill Voted
By Senate, Goes 10 House

The so-called "GI fiancees BILL"
which would facilitate entry into the
United States of foreigners engaged
to members or veterans of the armed
forces. passed the Senate yesterday.
1t now goes to the House.
The measure would admit fiancees
to come into the United States for
three months as visitors, upon pres
entation of sworn statements by
both parties showing intent to wed,
If, at the end of three months they
had not married, the girls would
again become deportable. The bill
differs from the "GI Brides Act" in
that no cost is to be borne by the
Government.
If the measure becomes law. 1t is
expected that principal beneficiaries
will be CT fiancees of Australia and
New Zealand. several thousand OF
whom have hitherto been denied
entry into this country because of
the low immigration quotas of those
dominions.
The bill would not apply to persons
excluded under the immigration
laws.
