McGrath Stands Firm
On Enforcing Law
AGAINST Subversives
BY the Associoted Press

Criticism by a group of Con-
gressmen has stirred the Justice
Department to a new defense Of
the way in which 1t enforces the
Subversives control law.
Attorney General McGrath said
in a statement last night that he
is trying to do what the law says.
If you don't like it. he told IL
protesting Congressman, change
the law.
The Congressman had COM
planned in a letter that Mr.. Nc
Grath was being too tough in
barring from this country any
alien who ever belonged to a
Communist or totalitarian group.
Mr.. McGrath denied this. He
said the only aliens actually being
barred are those the department
considered dangerous to our in
ternal security and those which
the law clearly requires to be ex-
cluded."
supported by State Dept.
The IL congressman were sup
ported by the State Department,
which got into the fight with a
letter from Deputy Undersecretary
Humelsine. Mr.. Humelsine wrote
Mr.. McGrath that Congress might
think the Justice Department was
giving the law "an absurd inter-
probation" to discredit it. The
Congressman made his letter pub
lie.
Both President Truman and Mr..
McGrath opposed passage of the
law. and Congress had to over
ride a veto to get it on the books.
Both Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Nc
Grath said the law wouldn't work
although the Attorney General
promised to do his best to admin
lister it regardless of how he felt.
There has been talk in Congress
of amending the law next year
when the new session begins.
The. central issue is the laws
assertion that any alien is ex-
cluded from the United States if
he ever had belonged to any Com
munist or other totalitarian group.
Children, Soldiers Exempt.
Mr.. Humelsine and the Congress
members said it wasn't intended
to apply to aliens such as children
who joined Nazi or Fascist party
organizations, or soldiers of the
NaZi or Fascist governments.
Mr.. McGrath retorted the law
did class them as excluded, but
that he was using his authority to
grant temporary admittance to
alleviate hardship in cases where
there is good reason for their en-
try.
The letter to Mr.. McGrath was
signed by Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada, and Repre-
sentative Wood, Democrat, of
Georgia. authors of the law which
was designed to control activities
of Communists and other sub
versives-and to keep such per-
sons from coming to this country.
The 10 other signers were mem
bers of the Senate House COM
mittee which drafted the final
compromise version.
Mr.. McGrath's statement said
the only groups being barred from
both permanent and temporary
admission are past and present
members Of Communist organiza- :
tions-except in those cases where
the State Department has recon-
mended their temporary admission
in the national interest-and other
subversives.

Announcement of the City's

Letters have started coming

valuable clues for our investiga-

are not policemen or detectives
and this cooperation from citi-
zens is extremely helpful in fer
retting out chiselers."
Letters received in the past
have come mostly from cranks,
he said, and rarely did the writer
disclose his 'identity. Letters
coming in now are addressed to
Ine commissioner personally and
are signed and usually give
enough information to, make a
quick investigation possible. Iden
tity Of the writer is held in strict
est confidence.
With State relief funds dwin-
ding it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the rolls be cleared of
chiselers," Rose said. NORMALLY
