I 'ables Deportation, Naturalization Measures

WASHINGTON, D. c. July %
All further action on the deporta-
ton staying bill, H. R. 1866, and
the naturalization bill, H. R. 1855,
has been halted in the Senate for
this session, the Washington office
of the JACL ti-Discrimination
Committee learned this morning.
The Senate Judiciary committee
has tabled the two measures pend
ing sweeping review of the i'm
migration situation in the United
States, the ADO office was inform

persons of Japanese ancestry, ac-
cording to the ADO office.
THE Senate resolution, No. 1877
which wall delay our bills was not
aimed directly at persons of Japa

1T was largely directed at immi-
grafton policies relating to Euro
pean countries and was introduced
at this time particularly because
the end of the war revived a fear
that the history of large immigra-
ton after World War I might re-
peat ITSELF" he explained.
Pointing out that the resolution
is in line with the traditional eau
ton of the United States Senate
in matters relating to immigration
policies, Masaoka added that per-
sons of Japanese ancestry had in
advertently been innocent victims
of the Senate's cautious approach
to this matter.

RACE HATRED IN THE SOUTH

But the political cancer in this
region - the One-party system -
is ubiquitous, a constant threat
to the civil liberties Of the peO-
pie.
Dissident Protestant Funda-
mentalist ministers are using
their clerical status to promote
"nationalism" and hate monger-
ing. Such men as the Revs. T.
Wesley Hill and A. A. Haggard
align themselves with the Khan.
The Rev. E. G. (Parson Jack)
Johnson carries on side line of
anti-Semitism propaganda thru
his weekly newspaper, The Co.
lumbus Tribune.
Strangely enough, hostility to-
ward Jews is tempered in the
pages of hate publications in the
South. The heavy concentration
of fire is on the unions, the pub
LEGATIONS in the South, the Negro
and communism.
Some publications, like South
ern Outlook and Militant Truth,
give an initial impression of being
only ultra-conservative or react
ionary in their social and econom-
ic views. However, besides their
