On Admitting More Aliens

Approval by Congress of the bill to
admit some 200 900 additional aliens to
the United States is disastrous. It has
become the fashion to accuse those
OF us who for good and sound reasons
oppose the conversion of our spacious
country into a crowded ghetto, with
the concomitant acceleration of the
exhaustion of our natural resources
which should be preserved in the in
terests of posterity and a long-lived
nation-aS un-American as betrayers
of the American artdition, or worse.
shall dismiss such accuSers with the
statement that they are that class
whose hearts bleed for every foreign
cause, who are interested more in
displaced foreigners than in displaced
Americans, and whose natural and
racial sympathies are more with those
outside the United States than inside
it.
In one newspaper, in the same issue
in which the immigration bill was ex-
tolled, an article appeared quoting the
Population Reference Bureau, a private
organization, to the effect that our
natural resources are being drained
away at an alarming rate as the pop
ulation ICONS upward at the rate Of
800 persons an hour. We are using up
our fields, forests and water resources
at suicidal rate" said this organiza-
ton. This, of course, is not news, but
it is pointed up by the constant refer
ences in the press to water shortages,
falling water tables, exhaustion of soil,
dust storms, etc. This organization
estimates that the United States will
have population of at least 100 mil
lion persons by 1875, and the need for
the wealth of the soil, water. timber and
minerals will increase not only because
of population growth but because of
the demand for an ever higher stand
ard of living. Is increased population
from abroad called for or justified in
such a situation?
If 100000 additional immigrants are
to be admitted. besides the regular
quotas and the thousands who enter
illegally, if all our farm lands are to
be cut up for subdivisions, and if every
foreign interest, on humane grounds,
is to be given precedence over the well
fare Of the United States. then let US
be logical and admit all Of the starving
millions of India and China, and
achieve domestic population Of 500
million at once.

be correctly interpreted as sign Of weakness.
Senator Morse, it seems to The STAR has sug-
gested practical procedure. Let the Commis-
sioners observe the progress Of reorganization
between now and January. If convinced that
the change for the Budget Officer stands on its
own merits. let them notify the Government
Operations Committee of the Senate-which
approved the reorganization plan in the first
place-that the change is being made because
the Commissioners are convinced it is wise.
If the change is not merited as shown by
actual experience, they should stick to their
guns and decline to make it.

For the Record

I learned, much to my surprise, that
had objected to the inclusion Of 1000
Arabs in the Emergency immigration
Bill which the Committee on the
Judiciary was considering, on the
ground that the State Of Israel would
object.
I do not understand ID how Con-
stantine Brown, who in his column.
attributed such statement to me, had
learned what had taken place in exc
cutive session, and co how he accepted
without any attempt at verification
the accuracy of his informant. 4
= Let it be known for the record that
! made no such statement. Let it
further be known that objected to
the inclusion of 1000 Arabs as I did
to the inclusion of 5000 japanese ma
tionals. and 5000 Chinese nationals
because the bill is designed to deal with
the migration problems of Europe. The
inclusion of these other nationals
would change the nature of the bill.
The purpose Of concentration on the
European migration problem is directly
related to our foreign policy in Europe.
This is a special, limited, and an emer-
gency bill. President EiSenhower'S rec
concentrations upon which this legis-
lation is based centered itself on the
European scene. Much of the bill is
based on the report of Hugh S. Gibson,
director Of the Intergovernmental Com
mittee for European Migration. The
unmistakable focus of the bill is on
Europe. It was not intended, nor did
I so support it, to substitute this bill
for permanent legislation concerning
our entire immigration policy. which
today stands so tragically in need of
revision to serve the interests of the
United States and all peoples regardless
of creed or national origin.

Curthy Quote

An article in the New York Times Of
July 26, says that when Senator Nc
Carthy was running for the Senate in
1946, he declared: Stains proposal
for world disarmament is a great thing,
and he must be given credit for being
sincere"
Senator Mccarthy is fond of digging
up similar statements by equally mis-
led citizens and labelling them-without
benefit of .dates-as "dupes, dopes or
traitors"
Which label applies to the Senator?

Judge Myers Cose
v. F. b.

It was certainly gratifying to read
that many of the writer's Of letters
to The Star, ole-heartedly supported
the action taken by Judge Frank Myers
in imposing a $25 fine on Clarence E.
Watson, and just as whole -heartedly
denounced Representative Rivers of
North Carolina for his unwarranted
attack on Judge Myers.
It is well-known in legal circles that
Judge Myers is a conscientious and
diligent jurist and that he has always
exercised prudent judgment.
An apology as public as the attack
should be made by Representative
Rivers.
Mrs. Joseph A. SOmmeF.
Club women in Washington and
vicinity have read with disgust the
criticism Of Judge Frank Myers in con-
nection with the criminal in the
Taggart case. Representative Rivers
and Representative Broyhin jumped to
sorts Of statements.
Personally I have known Judge
Myers since he was boy and he un-
doubtedly is one of the ableSt and most
conscientious members of the District
Of Columbia judiciary.
If these congressman are honest
after going into the record in the case
they will apologize to Judge Myers.

RELIEF LAW cL ARlFIED BY WELFARE DIRECTOR

Henry A. Harmon, director, De- partment of Public Welfare, em- phasized again the Territorial law regarding general relief. There have been an increasing number of requests for relief throughout the Territory during the past month which the Welfare Department is not able to meet.
 Harmon pointed out that the law governing general relief (ACLA 51-2-22) specifically limits the granting of assistance to those persons who are unable to earn livelihood in consequence of immaturity, sickness, or physical infirmity."
 Assistance can be granted only on a temporary basis, with no provision for requests for assist. ance from persons who are able to work but unable to locate work. In an extreme emergency, such persons might be helped for a few days.
 General relief is limited, furth- CT, to those who have lived in Alaska for at least a year. People requesting help who have not been here a year are assisted, in as much as possible, to return to the States where they have resi- dence.
 General relief is never given in cash, and orders are limited by law not to exceed $60.00 per month, per person. Food and rent are the usual items included in the meeting of temporary assis. tance.
 Harmon said that while the De-

want 10 QO WnaCS s rlRnC TOT Frank Harvey. He's worked for me for a long time-he's a good farm hand. and an honest family man."
 It was George Wilson, operator of the xxx Ranch, talking to the manager of his local social security office.
 What Wilson wanted to know was whether Harvey's farm work would count toward old-age and survivors insurance.
 The answer Wilson got applies to tens of thousands of other Frank Harveys who earn a livelihood by agricultural work, so let's tell it here-as if you are that farm worker.
 Before you become eligible for social security credit as a farm laborer, you must first work a full calendar quarter" for one em- ployer. GA calendar quarter" consists of the three consecutive months beginning on January 1, April l, July 1, or October 1.)
 You must remain in the employ of the same employer throughout this first or Qualifying calendar quarter" although you do not necessarily have to do farm work for him. Nor is it necessary that you work any particular number of days, or for a certain amount of wages.
 You do not receive any social security credit for your earnings from farm work during that period, but the work during the period qualities you so that you can get social security credit for further work for the same employer.
 During the next 3-month period you must be employed by the same farmer on a full-time basis, you must earn at least $50 in cash wages, and you must perform ag- ricultural work on at least 60 days. (Full time means the prevailing work arrangement for that type of work in your community.)
 If you are i'll and cannot work on certain days, if you report for work and are excused for the en- tire day or part of the day, if weather prevents you from work ing, or even if you get a vacation during that period-but get paid for these days as if you worked full-time on each of them-then these days count for your social security credit. The 60 or more working days do not have to be consecutive days or in consecutive weeks.
 If you have met this regularity test, and have been paid cash wages of at least $50 for your agricultural work for this farm operator during that second quarter, your cash wages will be credited to your social security account. The word leash" is stressed because wages in kind rent. meals, a share in the har- vest-are not counted toward social security benefits. Only the wages you receive in cash Cor checks, etc. count.
 Your cash earnings in subsequent calendar quarters also will count as

 NOTES
Riverbend Club


 The Riverbend Homemakers' club held its regular meeting Jan uary Is at the home of Mrs. Yer non Williams, former home of the Arvid Johnsons.
 We planned to have a party January 30 for our All members and their parents at which time we will present the two members who completed their project with billfold.
 Mrs. Max Sherrod gave very interesting talk on African Vio- lets and presented each member with a start.
 Cheechal<o Club
 Fourteen members of the Chee- chako Homemakers' club met at the home of Mrs. Ida Statler Jan uary IA. Roll call was answered with jokes.
 The club chose their work pro- ject for the coming month and pan to make aprons, dressing gowns and bead and metal craft items that will be contributed to a notion tree the homemakers' council is sponsoring. Refresh ments were served by the hostess.
 The next regular meeting will be held February g at the home of Mrs. Clara Whetstone.

long as you remain in the employ of this same farm operator and perform agricultural work on the same basis for at least 60 days.
 Now, let's suppose that a time as many as 60 different days of agricultural work by your employer in certain calendar quarter. You will get social security credit for your earnings in this quarter if your cash wages are as much as $50.
 Your failure to do farm work for as many as 60 days may or may not break your continuity of employment. This continuity will not be broken, for example, if you do agricultural work for less than 60 days and then work for the same employer in some other capacity during the rest of the quarter. Tn that case, you could meet the 60 day-$50 test in the following quar- ter for the same operator. You could earn social security credits without a break.
 On the other hand, your failure to earn cash wages for as many as 60 days of farm work may be be- cause you lost or gave up your job; or your farm work may be of a seasonal nature. A calendar quar- ter may come when it will not he possible for your employer to pay you for as many as 60 days of farm work or to keep you in his employ continuously doing some nonagri- cultural work.
 In that case, even if you meet the 60 day-$50 test in the following calendar quarter you will not earn social security credit for that work. You must spend another qualifying quarter of continuous employment, either with the same farm operator or another one before your agricul- tural work could again count to- ward social security benefits.
 Frank Harvey does not have this problem. He is regularly employed by George Wilson on a full-time basis, calendar quarter after cal endar quarter the year around. Tn every quarter he is paid we'll over $50 for at least 60 different days of work.
 Harvey is a typical example of a farm worker who is consistently building old-age and survivors in- surance protection for himself and for his family. As Wilson said to the social security office inter viewer: "I want to 6a what's right for Frank Harva,,
 Wilson now understands just what to do. Four times a year, he reports the cash wages paid to his worker, and pays the percent so- cial security tax; one half of this tax he deducts from Harvey's cash wages; Wilson's contribution is an equal amount. He sends the re- ports, together with the tax to the collector of internal revenue. These cash wages are credited to Harvey's social security account.
 In old age, or in case of his un- timely death, this farm worker and his dependent family have the pro- lection of social security.

proven sanitation practices and vac
cination and medication when nec-
essary will reduce death losses.
The most successful poultrymen
will obtain low feed costs per unit
by using chicks bred for high egg
production or, in the case of COM
mercial broilers, for fast growth and
by using feeds that take advantage
of recent advances in nutrition as
to vitamins, minerals, proteins and
antibiotics. They viii use the feeds
as the maker intended. Clean range
will help to grow rugged pullets
and reduce feed costs. Using plenty
of feeders constructed to reduce
waste and not overfilling them will
cut feed losses.
Saving labor, especially hired la
Dor, without neglecting the flock
will boost net returns. Convenient
arrangement of the laying house,
including feed storage, automatic
feeding and watering devices, quick
change ventilating equipment, drop
ping pits and built-up litter are
ways to reduce labor costs.
Culling to maintain a laying rate
of so percent or more, once the flock
has reached full production, will
improve returns over feed costs.
The poultry industry has made
remarkable gains in the last Is
years. Volume of production has
doubled. Improved methods have
reduced production costs compared
with other livestock products and
lower prices have kept consumption
in step with increasing production
Further progress probably can be
made in the future along the
same path.
