Leaders Of Veterans
Testify for Bill 10
Cut immigration
By NewboId Noyes, Jr.

The House Committee on Immi.
grafton and Naturalization today
opened hearings on a bill which
would drastically reduce immigra.
ton into the United States, and
heard witnesses representing the
American Legion and Veterans Of
Foreign Wars argue in support OF
the bill with the reservation that its
provisions were too lenient.
The bill. introduced last July by
Representative Gossett, Democrat
of Texas, provides for the exclusion
of members of the armed forces OF
any country which fought against
the United States in World War H.
and OF members of the Nazi and
Fascist parties, as well as affiliated
organizations in cases in which the
person seeking immigration cannot
prove that his membership in the
army or the party was involuntary
Attached as rider to the main
body Of the bill is section provid-
ing that immigration quotas for all
countries. friend and foe, shall be
cut in half for a period of 10 years
Minimum quota for any country
however, is set at 100.
Mildest of Several Bills.
This is the mildest of several bills
introduced last year all of which
aimed at prohibiting or severely re-
ducing immigration. The commit
tees vote to hold hearings followed
statement by President Truman
on December 20 that he hoped "such
legislation will not be passed"
This period of unspeakable hui
man distress is not the time for us
to close or narrow our gates" the
President said at that time.
Today, John G. Williamson, as
sistant legislative representative OF
the VFW, told the committee that
his organization not only approves
the Gossett bill, but also urges COM
plete suspension of immigration for
period of 10 years.
jeremiah j. Toomey, national vice
commander of the American Legion,
urged that members of the Com
munist party be included among
those to whom immigration is to be
prohibited automatically.

Woman Is Cleared
|0f Bigamy Charge

A charge of bigamy on which Mrs.
Alice Mae Lee, q, of the 1900 block
OF l. street NE, was indicted on
January %, was nolle pressed today
in District Court.
Assistant United States Attorney
Edward Molenof, who entered the
nolle PROSE-, said he was convinced
that Mrs. Lee thought she was free
to marry Robert A. Sullivan, an
Army private in 1914, under belief
that her husband Ashby L. Lee, to
whom she was married in I94l, had
obtained Florida divorce. This
conclusion was reached, Mr.. Molenof
said, after talking to Mr.. Lee.
Mrs. Lee last December obtained a
decree in District Court from Mr.
Lee, but the decree was not to be-
come final for six months. She was
indicted on the bigamy charge on
January %.

Toomey said that his organization
shares President Truman's concern
for displaced persons, particularly
orphaned children. He argued how
ever, that adult immigrants of the
type who would be desirable In the
United States would serve the world
better in these days as citizens of
their own countries.
His statement regarding the in
clusion of Communists among those
prohibited from immigration, came
in response to a question from Com
mittee Chairman Lesinski, Demo-
crat, of Michigan as to whether Mr..
Toomey considered there was any
basic theological difference between
Nazi or a Fascist and Commu-

Save the Housing Center

The District Housing Center we'll
deserves the recognition of it's right
to exist implicit in the decision of
the Commissioners to seek an ap-
preparation of approximately $37 900
to help defray the cost of maintain
ing the center through another
fiscal year. The center, mecca for
veterans in search of place to live,
was threatened with closing as a
result of the reluctance of the Ma
tional Housing Agency to give it full
financial support beyond June 80,
next. The local center is the last of
a large number of war housing CEN
ters established throughout the
country by MIA as war emergency
measure. The MIA is understand
ably desirous of liquidating this
wartime activity as soon as possible.
Because the Washington center is
still rendering vital service, how
ever, MIA officials have indicated
their willingness to contribute about
half of the cost of continuing the
local agency another year.
In agreeing to ask Congress for
the other half of the $4,000 esti-
mated to be required for operation
through the next fiscal year, the
Commissioners took into considera-
ton the fact that about 1000 appli-
cations are still being received week.

Anglo -Egyptiun Talks

The negotiations now going on be-
tween the British and Egyptian gov
ernments for new treaty to replace
the expiring pact of 1886 are of far
more than local Importance. They
are intended by the British Labor
government to set new pattern for
Britains position throughout the
Near and Middle East.
AS Laborite diplomacy sees it, the
rapid rise of native nationaliSms
throughout those vast regions makes
it imperative to, readjust Britain's
historic predominance there on
terms that will be acceptable to the
local populations while safeguarding
the vital interests of Britain and its
dominions. The alternative, i'm
posed domination against popular
wishes, not only requires military
force beyond war impoverished
Britain's ability to apply, but would
also tend to drive those countries
into the arms of Soviet Russia, now
vigorously seeking to penetrate the
East and perhaps planning to oust
Britain therefrom and substitute
Soviet predominance.
However, that very prospect tends
to alarm the governing classes
throughout the Orient, for whom
Soviet control would spell eventual
liquidation through communism,
just as has happened to the ira
,ditional upper classes in Moslem
Central Asia that is part of the
Soviet Union. BY giving up formal
control, Labor diplomacy hopes to
consolidate the substance of its
power on terms of mutual under
standing. AS regards Egypt in par
ticular, British military evacuating
would, in practice, mean merely the
shifting of the centers of British
power either eastward to Palestine,
Transjo&dan and Iraq or westward
to the former Italian colony of
Cyrenaica, conquered by British
arms and presumably destined to be
under British control. The general
trend of grand strategy, especially
the rapid evolution of long-range
air power, makes possible the main
tenance of British control on a
multilateral basis in which any one
unit. even Egypt, loses much of its
former indispensability.
Criticism of this thesis comes
from ito sides. On the one hand,
the Conservative opposition in Brit
ain fears that Egypt will not live up
to obligations it may assume for the
deferee of Egypt and the Suez
Canal. On the other hand is the
embittered criticism of the extreme
Egyptian nationalists for any ar
rangement which would tie in their
country with the British defense
pattern. However, this last is tied
up with social controversies within
Egypt itself for which British diplo-
macy does not wish to be made the
scapegoat

Memorial Day Message
By the ReD Dr.. Seth Brooks
Minister OF the UnDerSaHSt National Memorial Church

AS America faces another Memorial
Day, many thoughtful persons must be
wondering about the sincerity behind
the observation of the day this year.
There is no question that many of us
will remember our own dear departed,
visit their graves and lay wreaths upon
them. No sincerity will be lacking
here
Many of us old enough to remember
World War 1 will think again of some
lad we knew who died "over there"
We can bring before our mind his
youthful face. We have grown older,
but he still is young and perhaps we
say: They shall not grow old, as we
who are left grow old Age shall not
weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in
the morning we shall remember them"
No sincerity will be lacking here!
And, as our elders did short months
after Appomattox Courthouse, we this
year may attempt to realize that some
we knew will not be back, because so
recently they left us we have not yet
grasped that it was for eternity. No
sincerity will be lacking here!
Beyond our individual feelings how
ever, there is the Memorial Day which
we might think of as a national con-
sciousneSs. We mean, of course, that
one stipulated day when we as a people
remember our Nations dead and recon-
secrate ourselves Ito their unfinished
task" But what should the national
mind remember? Bluntly put, it should
recall that men died for this Nation
believing their sacrifice would be hon.
ored by those for whom they died.
Moreover, that men believed that this
Nation was worth dying for and that
other men would believe it was worth
living unselfshly Tor.
Nor is that all! This day should re-
mind us that no living American has
done for America what one fallen
American did for America. It is per-
haps trite to say, but our country still
is the most favored land on earth. We
might put it: I'VE have been awfully
lucky Let him who questions this
behold the ruins of Europe and the Far
East, the destitution and starvation
that stalk the earth, and their Offspring
Chaos, loss OF morale and lowered
morality No matter how unfortunat
or abused many civilian Americans ma,
think they are, they have not yet ex-
perienced conditions beyond these
shores, nor have they made any contri-
button to their country which approx
mates that which was made by any man
who gave his life that America might
live. Yes, just existing in America is
blessed privilege which no other lanc
we know of equally affords.
Memorial Day might end here with ?
tribute to our dead and prayer of
Thanksgiving that we are living in
america, but it Doesn't

George E. Hamilton

Among the deserved rewards of
good and useful life which George
E. Hamilton received was that of
length of days providing opportunity
for enjoyment of past achievement
No man of his generation could be
counted more fortunate in that re-
gard. He came to the end of his
career in the knowledge that his
labors had been richly fruitful. His
countrymen, particularly his fellow
Washingtonians, benefited by his
efforts, and he realized the fact and
took honorable pride in it. Through
out the fields of legal practice. busi-
ness, educational, civic and religious
affairs his influence long will be felt.
The reason is obvious. Mr. Hamil-
ton was an earnest worker. He had
a serious view of his talents and
their employment, and he did not
waste them. Perhaps he did not
consciously plan each detail of his
many activities. 1t may be that he
simply was possessed of a natural
genius for doing promptly and
effectively what needed to be done.
In any event, he accomplished most
of the results he sought.
But Mr.. Hamilton was not merely
successful and influential citizen.
His personality was such that he
attracted affection as we'll as re-
spect. He cared about people in
tensely. Invariably vigorous in
manner, he nevertheless invariably
was kindly. There was notable
gentleness in his manner which may
have derived from the sureness of
judgment which he developed as
the years passed. He was at once
decisive and liberal in his attitudes,
fixed in his opinions yet tolerant in
his bearing: Thus it happened that
he will be remembered for the age
less character of his friendships,
the satisfaction he gained by associ-
alton with the young as we'll as with
his own contemporaries. Admittedly
he lived in troubled times, yet he
never despaired of the world. The
faith and the hope. that sustained
him when he was boy in the diff
cult era after the War Between the
States remained with him through
subsequent periods equally tedious.
At ninety-two, he still found exist
ence fascinating, still held ardent
Evening star., 1946-05-26

We would be fools or worse than
fools If we did not see that every
principle for which our dead gave
their lives is threatened now. Nor is
1t as simple as calling the roll and
saying: Liberty, freedom. democracy
and peace are endangered" 1t goes
far deeper. Things on the surface
are threatened because something has
affected the foundations. This coun-
try was established on the belief that
there was sacred covenant with God.
The hint of it is found in Genesis:
That I may remember the everlast-
ing covenant between God and every
living thing"
The American covenant stood on
the belief that men here with Gods
help could build an ideal land. But
how many today ever think of bald
ing in America "a nation under God"
"a kingdom of Righteousness, "a new
world? We present-day Americans
are acutely conscious of covenants,
although we call them contracts"
Much of our present-day quarreling
and pickering is over what contract
includes or does not include. We need
TO put our minds on that everlasting
contract between God and man. A
nation is great when it perceives that
men, through loyalty to their cove
nant with God, guarantee their 10y
atty in all lesser contracts.
Our national life today might be
llkened to an escalator which is off
the roller The steps, the handrails,
the machinery and the principle of
upward movement are there, but the
ascending power has stopped. The
quickest way for any nation to get off
the rollers and stop its upward move
ment is for individuals to put selfish
and group interests above the good
and the welfare of all.
We Americans are not lacking in
loyalty; the trouble is that our loyalty
has become partial. We are loyal to
our own group, class, union, business
or party rather than to the good of
the Nation.
