WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 1C
tADC)--A House version of the O.

cation bill was introduced last Tues
day by Rep. Francis E. Walter ID.
Pa, the JACL ADO announced.
The bill is similar to the Senate
measure introduced several DAYS .
go by Sen. Pat McCarran ID. New
and was described by Rep. Walter as
"a single. comprehensive and mo-
dernized immigration and Nation
atty Code to replace a maze of
laws and amendments accumulated
through the years..
The measure will not depart from
the basic thought governing our
immigration policy since 1917.
namely, the quota system based on
the principle of national origin, he
said.
Although a copy of the House bill
is not yet available, Rep. Walter
pointed out it incorporates sec ions
restoring immigration quotas to all
independent Asian countries, inclu-
ding Japan, and eliminates racial
requirements in naturalization.
He described the measure as le-
presenting final product of pain
stalking research and careful draft
ing done in cooperate ton with the
Department of State and the De-
partment of Justice.
ut certainly is not the last word
of what we would like to see on our
statute books. In many respects it
does not even reflect my own views,
and no department of the admins
tration has officially reported on it
at this time.
My purpose in introducing it is
to provide for a companion bill in
the House Ito the McCarran omni-
bus bilD, thus permitting us to hold
joint hearings with our colleagues
from the Committee on the Judi
ciary of the Senate. We intend to
open hearings in about four weeks"
Rep. Walter said the present
world situation is rather satisfac-
torily reflected in this proposed le-
gislation.
while on the one hand we in
tend to correct certain shortcomings
of our immigration and naturaliza-
ton laws hampering the free and
highly desirable intern tional ex-
change of skills, scientific expert
ences, and professional abilities by
the free nations OF the world, on the
other hand we have taken notice of
the activities of subvSrsive elements
inspired and directed by our enc
mics and we have tried to streng-
then the safeguards protecting the
internal security of this nation.
I'VE believe that we are providing
for more equitable means of pre-
venting the separation of families
1T is our earnest desire to expe-
dite our work so as to be able to take
final action en- bill which I hope
will emerge in improved form and
shape before this session of Con-

Iran Cool 10 British
Offer 10 Negotiate
New Oil Agreement
BY the Associated Press

TEHERAN. Iran, May 49,
Britain offered today to send a
high-ranking diplomatic mission
to Iran to try to settle the bitter
dispute over naturalization of the
huge British-owned Anglo -Iranian
Oil Co. But the offer got cool
reception by the Iranians.
The proposal was contained in
"a stiff note of protest handed by
British Ambassador Sir Francis M.
Shepherd to the Iranian Foreign
Office.
Sir Francis earlier tried to pre-
sent the note to Nationalist
Premier F. Mohammed Mossadegh.
The premier. barricaded in the
Parliament building since Sunday
because he said Moslem fanatics
had threatened his life, refused
to see the British Ambassador.
Aides said DR.. Mossadegh is
suffering from fever. But most
Iranian politicians interpreted the
faction as deliberate rebuff to the
British.
Would Amend 1888 Treaty.
Sir Francis said the note Of
Ifered new negotiations to amend
the 1888 treaty which gives the
Anglo -Iranian Oil Co. production
rights in Iran until 1898. He
said the note also reiterated Brit
aims stand that government
seizure of the vast British hold
ings was a violation of that treaty.
(The text of the note. as re-
leased in London, called the ma
tionalition Of the company a
unilateral action without the
companys consent, and said
Britain may take the case be-
fore the International Court of
Justice at The Hague If Iran
persists in the naturalization
move.)
Britain sent the note after con-
Iferring at length with Washington.
"Same Old Nonsense"
The next step in the dispute
depends on Trans answer to the
offer of negotiation.
One high official close to DR..
Mossadegh said of the offer: Its
nothing new-just the same old
nonsense"
He repeated the government
stand that Iran has the right to
nationalize the British concern
and there is nothing left to talk
about in the way of compromise.
Similar British requests for ne
gotiation have been rejected by
the Iranians during the last few
weeks. Informed sources said
there is little likelihood of a
change in Trans view now.

New Policy Is Studied

increase for meat-packing workers.
BY vote of to 4, with indus

approved a pay increase of 8 cents
per hour for 100000 CIO and AFL

of the ceiling placed on wage in

gency control law.

of the increase was allowable

old board limiting wage increases
to 10 per cent above levels of early
1850. The meat workers had re-

Induction Age, Four
More Years Of Draft
By George Beveridee

HOUSE anu SENATE QTa1C Dill con-
ferees have agreed to cut the
minimum induction age from 10
to 1872 and to continue the draft
four more years.
Agreement on the six-month
age drop disposed of one of the
major issues in the draft expan-
sion controversy, but left the con-
ferees still deadlocked on the
toughest dispute of them all
whether to set up universal mill
tary training program.
However. at a conference sand
wiched late yesterday between
sessions of the Senate committees
investigating the Gen. Macarthur
custer, the House and Senate
leaders also:
l. Agreed to impose 5-million-
man strength ceiling on the armed
forces. This slightly liberalized
4:million ceiling proposed in the
Senate bill. The House measure
contained no ceiling.
Cut Passing Score.
2. Voted to cut the passing score
on the controversial induction
mental tests from 10 to IS, and
to roll physical induction stand
ards back to the low level of jan
uary. 1945.
8. Adopted a Senate bill provi-
sion to eliminate a provision of
law that limits the number of
women in uniform to per cent of
each services total strength.
4. Voted to allow draft boards to
defer conscientious objectors only

jobs that contribute to the ma
tional defense.
5. Set a minimum of four
months training before land force

United States.

when such a program is begun.

Chairman Russell of the Sen

tee. conference chairman, said he
hopes another session can be held
next week-if it can be dovetailed |
with the Macarthur Investigation
hearings-to take. up the UNIT
problem. UNIT and proposals for
the release of reservists from ac-
tive. duty are the only two issues
still to be ironed out.
Meanwhile, both Senator Russell
and Chairman Vinson of the House
Armed Services Committee agreed
that the induction age cut should
not result in drafting any youths
below the age of 10 for the next
two or three years. Local draft
boards will not be able to induct
any men below 10 so long as they
have available men between l9
and rs. under the agreement.
And, in the event they do dip
below 10, those nearest that age
must be called first.
The decision to extend the draft (
to July l. 1855. added one year
to a provision in the House Bill. I
The Senate measure contained no
cutoff date for inductions. Under
present law, the draft would die
next July 9. i
