Truman Refugee Plan
Backfires Into Move
To CUT immigration
BY the Associoted Press

A move to slash immigration
quotas took shape anew today in
a backflre to President Truman's s
announcement that he may ask
Congress to let more European
refugees enter the United States.
Representative Gossett, Democrat,
of Texas said he will reintroduce a
bill as soon as Congress reconvenes
calling for a so per cent cut in all
quotas. Claiming to have wide
spread backing for his proposal,
the Texan said similar measure
was defeated by only two votes in
the House immigration Committee
this year
=, Another Southerner, Representa-
tive Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
slppi commented that nearly all
Southern Democrats would support
the measure, along with many Re-
publicans.
Truman's Plan Frowned on.
Mr.. Truman said, in his state
ment on Palestine last week, that he
was contemplating" asking Con-
Igress for special legislation to au-
thorize the entry of fixed num-
Der" of displaced persons from Eu-
rope: including Jews.
Even before Nh. Gossetts dis
closure that he will reopen his fight
to trim all immigration quotas, it
appeared that the Presidents pro-
posal, if he makes it formally, will
be in for rough going.
Senator Andrews, Democrat. of
Florida, a close friend of Mr.. Tru-
man. said f1atly that the Senate
immigration Committee. of which
he is a member, will not be in favor
OF increasing the quotas"
One of the few to come to Mr.
Trnman's support was Senator Tay-
lor. Democrat, of Idaho who termed
the plan "commendable" and said
this country always has been
refuge for the repressed."
Celler Sees Majority.
Similarly, Representative Celler,
Democrat, of New York, said in a
statement last night, u r am sure
that in the final test more than a
majoriy of members will vote for
President Truman's humanitarian
proposal" Mr.. Cellar added that "a
mere trickle of immigrants amidst
lao, ,o00, 900 people would not put our
economy out of kilter.'
Bur Mr.. Gossett said that most
legislators are fed up with Federal
officials ''winking at immigration
restrictions as they have been doing
recently"
He said Americans should con-
tinue to do what we can to aid the
distressed in foreign lands but to
admit additional refugees in the
name of Christian charity or for the
sake OF appeasement is a dangerous
policy from which only harm can
come"

The American notes made public
today did not touch on a current
issue, involving firing by Yugoslay

American transport which flew over

as follows:

They also feel that he can do a lot more self-promoting in 59 than in 19 days, especially if there is special Congressional session before December IS.
 To this end, the Bricker boys have been planting stories that Kingsley is a "squatter" with no right to be in Washington. They quote Ohio law, which fixes De- cember 15 as the day he should begin his brief term. But Kings ley, a quiet-spoken Harvard law graduate with 41 months of war service, claims to have an even better authority on his side-the U. s. Constitution.
 It looks as il he has won the verdict in one of the dizziest tea pot tempests in Capitol Hill an- nals.

 Lets put the Statue next to the Washington monument" pro- posed one member of the commit tee to honor Harry Truman.
 No, George Washington never told a lie" replied the committee member representing the train men.
 Well, lets put it next to Roose- velt's statue" was another sug- gestion.
 No, Roosevelt always kept his word" replied the trainman.
 Finally, the trainman suggested that Truman's statue be put next to that of Columbus.
 "Why?" asked a member of the committee.
 Because, replied the trainman, "Columbus didn't know where he was going, didn't know where he was when he got there, and didn't know where he'd been when he got back. And besides, he did it all cn borrowed money"

 The first affects an estimated 1O0,C0O alien veterans who can be- come citizens very easily If they apply before December 3l, 1946, when the second War Power act expires. They should apply at the nearest office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service for fur ther details.
 The second deadline affects ap- proximately 10,0O0000 veterans who have let their CT insurance lapse They may reinstate this insurance on or before February l, 1947 without a physical examin- ation by signing a statement that their health is as good now as when the policy lapsed by paying premiums only for two months.
 Deadlines for several other bene- fits will be automatically set when the President or Congress off, cially declare World War II ended. They are:
 Loans-Home, farm or business loans may be guaranteed or in- sured by the VA up to 10 years after the end of the war. Education - Education or job training may be started up to four years after the end of the war and completed within 9 years. ilitation-Disabled veterans eligible for education or training under Public Law Is face no en- try deadline, but they must com plete their training within nine years alter the end of the war.

BULLDUZER DENNY

A. D. Denny Lewis, 57-year- old bulldozing roustabout, is head of the Mine Workers catch-all District 50 is strictly roughneck, has none of his brothers brains, oratorical capacity or courage
 Several years. ago John L. set Denny up as head of District 5O, a union which takes in every thing from chemical workers to dairy farmers, and which Lewis established to compete with AFL and CIO unions in various indus tries. Denny devoted himself to setting up a construction workers union in competition with the AFL, but never got very far. The fact is that organizing costs for Dis trict 50 are five times as high as any place else in the union move ment, partly because Of the pald thugs, petty mobsters and gunmen kept cn the payroll for use when the going gets tough.
 Lewis's secret strategy is to re- sign as active president ot the union, become president emeritus at .ull salary, and name bull-necked brother Denny as acting president. This Lewis could do through his control oyer the unions executive board However, Denny could never keep the miners together. He never will become better than a paid union hack. Even among John L.'s closest collaborators, his friends are few Denny is known throughout the union as the chief of John L.'s espionage organiza- tion. with the job of finding out who is saying unkind things about brother John behind his back.
 This is the setup inside the United Mine Workers, and it isn't an easy one for John L. Lewis.
 Ii he is able to outwit Tom Kennedy and manipulate his suc- cession into family hands, it will be an even heater trick than standing the Government of the United States on it's ear,

TWO SENATOR TAFTS

Ohio is now supposed to have ley However, quite dispute is raging as to whether Kingsley A. Taft, a distant cousin of Bob's, and elected for the uneXpired term of lormer Senator Harold Burton, is at the moment an actual member of the Senate.
 The question revolves around whether Kingsley began being SenatCr on November 6, the day after election, or has to wait un- til December l5, when he will re- ceive his commission of office from Ohio's secretary of state. In oth- CT words, whether he will be Senator for 59 or for l9 days.
 Kingsley has resolved matters temporarily by moving into an of flee on Capitol Hill, where he ij quietly answering mail and per forming other Senatorial chores. Also, he wants to be on hand in case of a special session of Con- gress.
 Meantime, the pot boils in Ohio. You might think that whether he serves for 19 or 59 days is an in- consequential matter, but it has kicked up a furious controversy among Ohio politicians, particu- larly the forces of John Bricker, who want to remove Kingsley Taft as a full-term Senate prospect should Bricker or Bob Taft land the COP Presidential or Vice Presi- dential spot in 1948.
 If either of them gets the COP
