Frost-free Key West is indeed a

|RefugeeLaw.
Checks Lauded
BY Rep. Walter
BY LEWIS CULIcK

WASHINGTON Ri-Rep. Walter
(D-Pa) Mon. praised immigration
checks in the refugee law and de-
Tended r. w. Scott Mcleod, whose
administration of the act has been
criticized by others. j..
Walter is second ranking Demo.
crat on the House Judiciary Com.
mittee and helped to write the Nc.
Carran-Walter Basic immigration
Law.
The Judiciary Committee
chairman-to-be, Rep. Celler (R.
N.Y., returned from a five-week
overseas tour this month with
sharp criticism for Mcleod, the
State Departments security chief.
"a good law" Celler said, "has
been prostituted by the insane,
arbitrary and savage administra.
ton thereof by Mr.. Scott Mcleod" :"
Walter said in an interview that
attacks on Mcleod for his admin
iStration of the slow moving special
refugee program are entirely un.
warranted and unjustified."
The Pennsylvania, who had a
hand in drafting the 1853 act, SAID
Mcleod is "just administering the
law" and declared that restrictions
in it are Safeguarding the best
interests of the United States"
The law, signed Aug. 7, 1858,
authorizes admission to this coun.
try of 214,0OO refugees outside the
regular immigration quotas during
the three years ending Dec. 81,
1856. Latest figures from the State
Department show that, as of Dec.
II, only 16,0S1 immigration visas
had been issued under the pro.
gram, and only a fraction of these
visa-holders have actually arrived
in the United States.
The State Department has said
the chief reason for the SLOW start
was the need to set up machinery,
including security screening
system.
Walter said many of those ar.
rived or on their way have spon.
Sors, as required under the law,
among relatives already in this
country and have jobs and housing
waiting for them. Sponsors must
certify that employment and Shell
ter is available.
Many still waiting to get in, he
said, are unable to do so because
they have no sponsors here. And
the reason for this, he declared.
is that there are not jobs for them
at time when unemployment is
a domestic problem.
The Pennsylvania defended the
security checks which have been
criticized as the biggest hold I'D
in the program.

be drunkenness and the mans true
condition. They hospitalized him

"minding himself to go afoot."
Rousseau liked walking and once
expressed regret that he had not
kept journals of his walks.
Thomas Carlyle, a man full of
violence, sometimes strobe 50
miles at a clip.
1t was Thoreau who showed
mankind the richness of going on
foot. Indeed, Thoreau's insights
stand not only as a rebuke to the
manner in which modern man
lives. but as an amazing preview
of up-to-date medical counsel on
the way to mend our habits.
How badly off we are in that
respect became apparent to me
some years ago. With my friend
William Muir, / wrote a book for
young men who expected to be
drafted. In gathering material.
we found that not one Ameri-
can male in 50 knows how to
walk. Not one in SO has even a
rudimentary sense of how to live
outdoors.
In the more recent Korean
war, the Army found this deficit
even greater. 1t was necessary to
teach a whole army how to exist
outdoors.

ONLY the man on foot can ever

have recommended the auto as a
way back to Nature. And indeed
it is. Never before have we had
such a convenient means ofreach-
ing the great outdoors. The big
trouble is that once we have
driven there, we generally refuse
to get out of the Car. Only the
man who does stop and get out
will discover Nature in relation
to himself.
