The legislation authorizes

House Unit Approves
Broadened Version
Of immigration Bill
Senators Fail to Act;
Eisenhower's Request
Boosted by 10000
By J. A. O'Leorv

A House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee today broadened and then
approved President Eisenhower's
immigration bill, but the Senate
Judiciary Committee again failed
to report the measure.
The House subcommittee added
10000 to the 100000 immigrants
the administration had asked to
be admitted in addition to exist
ing quotas.
The vote was 4 to /. Repre-
sentative Walter, Democrat. of
Pennsylvania, co-author of the
McCarran Walter Immigration
bill, said he was the one who
voted against.
Before the final vote, however.
Mr.. Walter got subcommittee
agreement to add the following
groups:
Three thousand japanese, g.
600 refugees from China and g.
600 Arabs. The subcommittee
also agreed to add 1000 Port
uguese.
Mr.. Walter told reporters he
fears the bill will result in ad-
hitting at least 100000 Commu-
nists into the United States be-
cause it is impossible to check
the backgrounds of refugees who
have fled from Communist-con-
trolled areas.
The entire House judiciary
Committee is expected to meet
later in the week on the bill.
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee will make another try
tomorrow to reach a vote, but
Senator Watkins, Republican, of
Utah, in charge of the bill, said
he could not promise a decision
then. So far, he said, I'VE are
not in agreement"
OF the original 100000 re-
quested by the President, no.
600 would be refugees from be-
hind the Iron Curtain in Ger
many and Austria; $4,000 refu-
gees from other parts of Europe,
$4,000 from Italy and 10000 each
from the Netherlands and

u. ). Will Send Food
To East Zone Border
Over Red Objections
Problem Of Delivering
Help to German Needy
Is Still to Be Solved
By Joseph A, Fox

The White House said today
that American food would be de-
llvered to the frontier of East
Germany despite Communist re-
lection of a United States offer
of SIS million worth of supplies
for the Red-dominated East Ger
mans.
Press Secretary James G..
Hagerty stressed that President
Eisenhower's offer of aid for the
Germans in East Berlin and
elsewhere in the Soviet zone of
Germany still stands, despite the
Communist turn-down. The Mu-
tual Security Agency said food
was on the way.
MSA officials said the Agricul-
ture Department had gone into
the open market and purchased
1000 tons of flour, 1000 pounds
of beans and peas, 1000 tons
of lard and $50 tons of dehy-
drafted milk, which is being
moved to New York for trans
shipment to the Germans.
Doubtful of Reaching Needy.
While there has been some
talk OF an airlift to deliver the
food, the probability is that it
will move out of New York bv
boat.
Officials here were not quite
clear how the food would get
into the hands of the people of
East Germany after it is deliv-
cred to the frontier.
The Mutual Security Agency
took pains to emphasize that all
the food is new and not surplus
commodities that the Govern
ment has been storing under a
price support program. Packing
houses which ordinarily are
closed over the week end, kept
men on duty to get the large
shipment together, MSA said.
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov Scornfully rejected
President Eisenhower's offer of
the food Saturday night with a
note terming it a propaganda
stunt. He claimed the Russians
were supplying their occupa-
ton zone adequately.

Public Appeal Issued
For Information in
Taggart Staying Case
Call Homicide Squad
With Dotu, Chief Scott
Asks D. c. Residents

Chief of Detectives E. E. Scott
today made public appeal to all
citizens for any information that
might lead to the solution of the
Alyce o. Taggart murder case.
In the unprecedented appeal
Deputy Chief Scott specifically
asked residents to call the Homi-
eide Squad if:
/. They know of any one WHO
has been acting suspiciously in
the past week.
2. They know of any one who
suddenly took leave from his job.
8. They know of any one who
quit his job unexpectedly.
4. They know of any one who
suddenly left town for no ap-
parent reason.
Any Information Sought.
The Homicide Squad hopes for
any scraps of information that
might not appear to be signifi-
cant alone but pieced together
might give police the clue they
have sought so far in vain.
The body of Miss Taggart was
found a week ago today in
SCOTS Hotel for Women at 2131
o street NV. Her head had
been brutally and repeatedly
struck by her own rib
boned duckpin. She had been
dead at least a day when found
and police believed the killer
struck some time in the pre-
dawn hours of Sunday.
A 21-year-old HOUSEKEEPING
suspect was being questioned to-
day because his method of opera
ton reSembled that of the killer
in the Taggart case.
Entry or exit from SCOTS Hotel
in the Taggart case also was
gained by removing a window
screen.
. Police also indicated their
latest suspect resembled the de-
scription of the prowler spotted
creeping through a fourth-hoor
corridor of the women's hotel
before down. The suspect, like
the prowler. was described as a
tall, thin. light-skinned colored
man.
The suspect was caught es-
Gaping from the First street
building by two second precinct
policemen shortly after 5 am.

1000 Are Interviewed.

scribed as routine. Four other

they still had no hot" leads.
More than 1000 individuals
have been interviewed so far in
the we ek-long investigation.
While not discounting the posi-
bility that the killer was a person
known to the 45-year-old Gov
eminent secretary, police leaned
toward the theory that the killer
was a prowler - probably the
prowler spotted in the hotel.

President James S. TIMBER and At
torney Charles V. Huppe went to the
Police Department and had ses-

officers. Offshoot of this was that
an officer was sent out to make
an investigation.
Last Saturday the case came up
for trial. Although the investigating
police officer had taken measure
ments of the length of skidding by
the strikebreaker's car and other per-
tinent data, he was not called to tes-
tify by City Attorney Dave Smith.
The case is now in the hands of Pol

under advisement, pending the reach-

A month ago yesterday Ray Lind
berg, while picketing on the sidewalk
in front of Foley's Mill & Cabinet
Works in Helena was run into and
knocked down by a car driven by a
strikebreaker at the long strikebound
Foley plant. Lindberg, member of
Local 24O9 of Lumber & Sawmill
Workers Union, received a number of
minor injuries and wrenched back.
The incident occurred just at noon,
and according to other witnesses, the
strikebreaker started out of the Fol-
ey driveway with burst of speed
and hit Lindberg who was on the
sidewalk. The strikebreaker then
repeatedly backed up his car, didn't
wait to find out whether or not Lind
berg was hurt, and then drove around
the flattened picket and left the
area.
AS soon as Lindberg could recov-
err part of his strength he went to the
Helena Police Department and re-
ported the hit-run affair and also
gave the police a description of the
car and its license number. The Off
Ger in charge told hin he would have
to GO find out the name of the man
who had hit him before the police
would take any action. This Lind
berg proceeded to do and after pro-
longed number of hours finally did
manage to determine who it was that
hit him. This information he then
reported to the police. ct is note
worthy that, in spite of a city ordi-
nance against hit-and-run, Lindberg
had to do his own investigating of
the case. Labor circles are wonder
ing if there would have been any

killed and therefore unable to per-

affair, labor officials in Helena be-
