Substitute Bill Admit
DPS Threatens Split
Along Party Lines
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

A split along party lines threat
ened to develop today ever proposals
to admit some OF Europe's homeless
families and orphans into the United
States.
Democratic Senators McGrath OF
Rhode Island and Hatch OF New
Mexico pointed up the issue un-
expectedly late yesterday. They in
troduced a bill to lower the immi-
grafton bars to 100000 displaced
persons during the next two years
and ease the requirements for entry
into the United States.
The McGrath-H measure is
a substitute for an earlier bill ap-
proved by the Republican, controlled
Senate Judiciary Committee.
Orphans Outside Quota.
The original bill provides that
only 100000 displaced persons could
enter this country from Europe dur
ing the next two years. And those
who did enter would have to meet
strict requirements in housing and
job prospects.
The substitute not only doubles
the immigration quota, but. does
these things:
/. Says unmarried minor orphans
should not be counted against the
quota. The original bill includes
orphans in the 100000 limit.
2. Permits entry of persons who
were in the British, French or Amer
ican zones of occupation on or be-
fore April 21, 1947. The other bill
fixes this eligibility date as Decem-
ber %, 1945.
3. Provides immigration priorities
based on specified skills and oc-
cupational needs in this country
and gives preference to close rela-
tives of people living in the United
States.
The original requires the DPS to
have assurance of suitable employ
ment and decent, safe and sani-
tary housing without displacing
some other person from such hous-
ing"
4. Makes no distinction between
persons living in or out OF a DIP
camp. The committee bill gives
priority to DPS living in camps.
The new bill brought quick
furry Of debate.
Acting Majority Leader Wherry
asked Senator McGrath whether he
had asked Republican members Of
the Judiciary Committee TO join in
sponsoring the new measure. SEN
ator McGrath, a committee men,
Der, said he had not.
But this is substitute bill, .
Senator Wherry said,
Yes, and I have the right to
file 1t" Senator McGrath retorted
No Report on First Bill.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, OF
Illinois said he has been unable to
find a report of the hearings on
the original bill. Senator McGrath
explained the bill was rushed out
of committee to get it to the Senate
for speedy action. He said no re-
port has been printed, but that each
committee member reserved the
right to offer amendments.
"It is inconceivable," Senator
Lucas said,. there was no report
on q bill of such Importance"
Senator Hatch arose to say that
he regretted any MISUNDERSTANDING
or wrong inference" in the intro
duction of the new bill, actually
offered as an amendment.
I'VE ask you," he said, "to read
this amendment tonight and say
you will join us. We want your
support"
