Senators Seek Aid
Of President in Split
On Immigrant Quota

Senators Watkins, Republican
of Utah and McCarran, Demo-
crat, of Nevada went to the
White House this afternoon in
an effort to break the deadlock
which has kept President Eisen-
hower'S immigration bill tied up
in the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee for several weeks.
The committee had expected
to reach vote today, but when
another meeting this morning
failed to bring the opposing sides
together, leaders of the two fac
tons decided to seek a confer
ence with the President.
Holds Out for 100000.
Senator Watkins said he is
holding out for the Presidents
request for admission of 240,-
600 additional immigrants,
chiefly refugees, in the next two
years.
Senator McCarran wants only
about half that number. The
Nevada Democrat said the Pres
ident told him he wanted only
a token quota so that the United
States could appeal to other
friendly nations to take some
of the refugees.
President Sees Leaders.
The alien legislation was dis
cussed earlier today by President
Eisenhower and legislative lead
ers at their weekly meeting. and
House Speaker Martin told re-
porters later that mo one knows
what prospects there are for
getting the, bill out of the full
Judiciary Committee.
! Mr.. Martin said leaders would
! have to make a canvass before
they could know.
Conceding that there is con-
siderable opposition to the meas
ure, the Speaker expressed the
opinion it would be passed if it
got to the floor of the House.
Senator Knowland of Cali
fornia, acting Republican leader,
viewed the outlook for Senate
approval optimistically.
House Revised Figures.
The House bill reduced some
of the country quotas recon-
mended by the administration,
but added new groups from vari-
Gus parts of the world, running
the total to 247,000.
The administration recon-
mended that 10000 be escapes
from behind the Iron Curtain
now living in Western Germany
and Austria: $4,000 from Italy;
10000 from the Netherlands;
10000 from Greece, and $4,000
escapes in NATO countries.
The House subcommittee re-
duced the quotas from Western
Germany and Italy. ~but in
creased Greece and the Neither
lands. It also added the follow
ing: 5000 veterans of the Polish
Army in exile in England; 5000
Chinese refugees from Hong
Kong: 5000 Japanese; 5000
European refugees from China;
1000 Arab refugees from the
Middle East; 1000 from Portu-
gal. and 5000 orphans who may
be adopted by American citizens.

Greek Ambassador Athanese
Politis celebrated his country's
Independence Day yesterday by
giving a reception for Greek resi-
dents of the Capital. The flag
at the Embassy was full staff
yesterday but today has been
lowered to half-staff in difference
to the late Dowager Queen Mary
of England.
Had the festivity yesterday
been of a personal nature or
merely a social event, the Am
bassador would have cancelled
it but being the national holiday
of his country the Informal re-
ception was held from $50 to
7:30 o'clock.
The flag at the Greek Embassy
and those at missions of coun-
tries in the British Common
wealth of Nations, as well as
those friendly to Great Britain,
are at half-staf and will con-
tinue so at least until after the
services for Queen Mary.
