AT noon Thursday, when the

ter charged that the American jew
ish Congress was leading vicious
campaign of lies against

of the American Jewish Congress
misrepresented the provisions of the

written to the New York Times to
prove his point
Congressman Walter said.
There is not a scintilla of truth
to the statement that my bill places
"a legislative seal of inferiority on all
persons of other than Anglo-Saxon
origin and would result in millions
of naturalized Americans having to
live in permanent fear of deporta-
ton or loss of citizenship for the
