McCarran Law
Changes Seen

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3
(JACL ADC-Sen. Pat McCarran
Cd, New told his Senate COL
leagues that his refined Omnibus
immigration and Naturalization Bill
includes suggestions made by the
Senate Crime Committee, tn Q
washington office Of the JACL An
ti-Discrimination Committee an
nounced this week.
Two Of the major recommends
tions of the Senate Crime Commit
tee, have been included in his COM
prehensive modernization and codi-
fication of the nations immigra-
ton and naturalization statutes.
The suggestions of the Crime
Committee to tighten the immigra-
ton and naturalization laws to per-
NIT deportation Of foreign criminals
who are struggled into the United
States or who Jump ship in Ameri-
can harbors and then become citi-
zens by classifying their records and
plug loopholes in existing laws
which enable alien criminals to gain
citizenship.
The Judiciary Committee chair
man explained that the bill broad
ems the grounds for the exclusion
of aliens in the criminal category
to make certain that such aliens are
not admitted into the United States
in the first instance.
The bill strengthens the law by
broadening the grounds for depor-
tation Of aliens to the end that the
criminal alien or the alien who en-
tered Illegally will remain subject
to deportation without any statute
of limitations.
His bill also strengthens the pro-
visions of the naturalization laws
1t denies citizenship to those aliens
with criminal records and revokes
the citizenship Of those persons who
fraudulently gained citizenship.
Among other provisions of Sena-
tor McCarran's Omnibus Bill are
those relating to equality in immi-
grafton and naturalization. These
latter sections are sponsored by the
JACL ADO.

JACL Protests
Guatamala'S
Travel Ban
Nisei Girl Refused
Travel Visa
To See Country

WA0<1AfsSf NSf<t -. W. oCfe-
(JACL ADC)-when a Nisei girl
was refused a travel visa to visit
the Republic of Gustemala on racial
grounds as an old law prohibits
visas to members of the Neeroid
and Mongloid races, the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee sent q
formal letter of protest to the
Guatemalan Ambassador in WASH
ington.
Frank Chuman, first national
vice president of the JACL, wrote
Mike Mssaoka, national legislative
director. about the refusal Of the
Los Angeles consulate to issue a
visa to Nisei girl who had planned
to visit Central America, including
Guatemala, with her friends.
Action Protested
Masaoka then dispatched for
NAL letter to the Embassy. protest.
ing such discriminatory practices.
He called attention to the United
Nations Chapter, to which Guate-
mala Is a signatory, which declares
that the realization of human rights
and fundamental freedoms for all
peoples require that no arbitrary
and summary distinction be made
on the basis of race. color, sex, or
religion.
Ban Not Sanctified
Masaoka wrote that these fun
damental freedoms include the right
of citizens OF one country to freely
travel to other countries.
1.-The applicant for the travel visa
intended to visit your country only
for a temporary period, and not for
permanent residence. She intended
to visit your country for the purpose
of sightseeing and not to engage In
any business or remunerative activ-
ity whatsoever. She was induced to
plan such q visit on the basis of
Advertisements placed in magazines
and publications by your country.
Provisions Hit
IF such practices are condoned
by your government. 1t should result
in reciprocal treatment Of the citi-
zens and subjects of Guatemala by
other nations. Carried to its logical
conclusion, travel between nations
would be prohibited If every govern
ment sanctified in law such obvious
racial discrimination in its immi-
grafton code as your nation has
adopted In relation to certain tenn
porary visitors"
This discrimination will be called
to the attention of the State De-
partment and the United Nations II
necessary, Masaoka promised.

NiSei Lose
Supporter
OF Justice
Sen. Cossett Quits
Seat to Practice
Law In Texas

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. sept. IL
tJACL ADC)-The JACL ADO ma
tional legislative program lost an
other strong supporter when Rep.
Ed Gossett Cd. Tex) resigned from
his seat to re-enter private law
practice in his native state. the
JACL Anti Discrimination Commit
tee reported this week.
Gossett. first elected to the 18TH
Congress in 1898. served six con-
secutive terms. A member OF the
House Judiciary Committee and of
its subcommittee on immigration
and Naturalization, he was con-
sidered one OF the congressional
experts In this latter field.
He was the only member Of the
present subcommittee to serve on
the immigration Committee when 1t
was separate standing COMMITTEE.
IN is46. the Immigration Commit
tee became subcommittee of the
Judiciary Committee.
Masaeka Praises Gossctt
Mike Masaoka described his resig-
nation as a great loss to our gen.
eral Legislative program. He re-
called that as Texan, Gossett took
great pride In the 442nd Regsmental
Combat Team and felt that moth
ing was too good for the Nisei boys
who rescued the Lost Texas Bat
TALON In France in l944". In fact,
Congressman Gossett participated
In the ceremonies at which the
first Nisei war dead Of World War
II were inferred at Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery.
One Of the dead was Pfc. Saburo
Tanamachi Of Texas.
During the war. Representative
ocssctt was among those who
steered the bill extending immigra-
ton and naturalization rights to
the chinese through the House. He
later spanked the bills extending
these same privileges to the East
Indians and Filipinos.
Fought for Equality
He was among the first TO recog-
nize the justice In extending equal
lily in immigration and nattiralza-
ton privileges to the Japanese. He
favored citizenship for gold star par
ents Of the Nisei veterans but the
Senate refused to approve his bill.
Congressman Gossett, like Con-
gresham Fellows who passed away
last week, was q great friend and
champion of the Japanese In Amer
ica," Masaoka said. Their depar-
ture from the halls Of Congress will
make 1t more difficult to secure
passage of legislation extending i'm
migration and naturalization privi-
lcges to all peoples and races, for
they we're among the foremost adj
vocates of racial equality in federal
laws for Orientals."
Two new members will be added
to take their places either when the
House rconvenes today or when the
next session begins In January. The
attitudes of the new members may
determine whether legislation for
equality In immigration and natur-
alization will become law within the
immediate future.
