DISPLACED PERSONS

Senate Democratic leaders say that one of the first moves at the special session of Congress will be to revamp the Displaced Persons Act. Many Republicans agree, are angry at the anti-Catholic, anti Semitic restrictions.
 The Senate accepted the bill in it's present form, because 1t came up so late that to have fought for corrective amendments would have meant no displaced-persons legislation at all.
 The bill is the handiWork of West Virginias Republican Senator Chapman Revercomb, and the methods he used to fOist it upon his fellow Senators are some of the most shameful in the history of the 80th Congress. Soon after he was assigned to head a Judicl- ary subcommittee to study the problem, Revercomb bluntly told colleagues: We could solve this DIP problem all right if we could work out some bill that would keep out the Jews"
 That is exactly what he did. By legalistic sleight-o he put through a bill admitting 100000 of Hitler's victims to this country but on Hitler's terms. Those who entered Germany after December p, 1945, cannot be admitted It so happens that most of the Jews, now in refugee camps, fled into Germany from the Polish pogroms after the December 22, l945, deadline.
 Revercomb's bill also assigns 50 percent of the displaced persons quota to the Baltic states for nc valid reason, except that these states are predominantly Protes- tant. Whats more, the bill re- quires that 50 percent of those who come to this country must be farmers-in spite of petitions from employers and labor groups, ask ing for trained garment workers to fill the shortage in that field Few Jews are farmers, many are garment workers.
 Two months ago Undersecretary of State Robert Lovett wrote te Senator Rcvcrcomb asking him to

 Later, wIile the Senate-House cenferees were debating differences in the bill, U. s.
