recently told the Presidents Com
mission: 1T (the formula) was
deliberately adopted to prescribe
not only southern and eastern
Europeans, but also Catholics and
Jews. That is the unvarnished
truth. I heard it stated time and
time again on the. floor Of the
House =" Such is what the
law long ago set out to do-with
malice aforethought.
It seems incredible that our
great democracy should harbor
within its body polite two little
police states but such indeed are
the immigration and consular
services. The McCarTan Act
grants consuls absolute, non-re-
.viewable power over visas-an
autocracy that breeds arrogance
and damages our prestige abroad.
Likewise, under sanction of the
law, immigration officials at home
have additionally displayed a cal
1ous brutality toward aliens.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
JEWS IN POLAND REPORTED
TEL AVN, (JTA) - "Jews in

Poland face. discrimination daily
in every field of life," according
to DR.. M. Fraenkel, who arrived
at Haifa this week from Warsaw.
DR.. Fraenkel said that the Po-
lish people lump the Jews with
the Communists and the Russians,
and expressed the fear that in the
event of a change of regime in
Poland the Jews would be the
first victims.

The Legislative Front
Is Fair Employment
To Be Procticed

washington, u. =. - TeSt1fylng
at hearings on the ves-Humph-
rey fair employment bill, a rep
resentative of thirty Jewish COM
munity councils and six national
Jewish organizations called on
the Senate Committee on Labor
and Public Welfare ito complete
its deliberations on the bill with
dispatch, to report it favorably to
the Senate, and to make every
possible measure to bring it de
rectly to the floor.
In their testimony, the Jewish
organizations said that the advo-
Gates Of federal fair employment
Legislation had shown their readi-
ness to compromise in order to
meet the objections of critics of
such legislation. It was now time,
they declared, for the opponents
to show their good faith by al
lowing the measure to come to a
vote.
''The entire fair employment
movement is non-Partisan
movement" they said.
Citing the great volume of evil
dence Of the extent and serious
consequences Of the problem Of
employment discrimination that
had been incorporated in the Of
fetal reports Of earlier hearings
on fair employment bills, the
testimony declared:
to discriminate against
human beings in their access to
basic means Of livelihood is to
betray the heritage Of religion,
morality and: ethic upon which
our nation rests and to make a
mockery of our protestations Of
devotion to l.. the principles Of
democratic equality"
The only real issue, the state
ment continued. sis whether the
federal government should act
against this evir' and whether
federal action should include pro-
visions for effective enforcement.
After reviewing favorable state
experience with such laws, the
Jewish groups. said these laws
were supplementary to, not SUBJ
stitlttes for, federal action"
There are no economic bulk
heads between states, and unem-
ployment is no respecter of state
lines" they said. 'The employ
ment policies of an international
union, a national corporation, or
even a federal agency set in one
state are likely to govern in most
others. We have recognized that
the free flow of commerce is i'm
peded by state barriers and have
eliminated interstate tariffs. Are
we to do less in the realm of hui
man rights?"
Opponents of fair employment
legislation, the Jewish organiza-
tons continued, frame their OPP
position to effective enforcement
provisions in terms of "compul-
sion." They termed this plainly
a false issue"
Noting that the ves-Humphrey
bill declares the rights to equal
employment opportunity to be a
civil right, the testimony con-
tended, ''It must, therefore, nee
essarily provide for the protection
of that right, else its enactment
is meaningless and the right IL
lusory. Would anyone suggest
that the rights created in employ
ers, employees and unions by the

Justice and The
immigration Low
BY J. Campbell Bruce
Reprinted from The ADJ
Bulletin)

S~1SS~39S/
The McCarran-W Walter Act -
the immigration and Nationality
Act Of 1852 = was touted by its
sponsors as an omnibus measure
designed simply to clarity and
codify all the earlier immigration
statutes. Clarity? Max Rheinstein,
professor of law at the University
of Chicago, told the Presidents
Commission on immigration and
Naturalization:
81 would like to say as
lawyer (what) may look a bit
petty and perhaps insignificant,
but don't think it is -. Cd refer
to the technical defects. To put it
more popularity, nobody can un-
derstand it at all, it is so COM
picated May I invite your
attention to Section 202 which I
think nobody can understand
until he has read it IL times. I
have read it now thirteen times,
and I think I understand it. If
and when a revision of this law
is undertaken, I hope to goodness
somebody will be called in as an
expert in English. AS it stands
now, it is an abomination of the
English language -"
Codify? The laws retains the
worst of the prejudices incorpo-
rated in old statutes, and it adds
more than 100 new restrictive
features. Ironically, for a nation
that is the worlds leading democ-
racy and bulwark against COM
munism, its immigration law
makes reacism a national policy.
The law did remove, at long
last, the racial barrier to immi-
grafton and naturalization. But
then it destroyed this achieve
ment by erecting a barrier just
as formidable - a modified
Oriental Exclusion Act. This is
the infamous Asia-Pacific tri-
angle, embracing 81 quota areas
from Afghanistan to Japan and
alloting to each a minimal annual
quota of 100, with the exceptions
of Japan (185) and China (105).
Rabbi Nadich cited the Fill
pinos as a case in point. After
their independence was proclaim
ed in 1916, they encountered no
specific racial barriers. But the
McCarran Act ends that. Now a
person Of Filipino background,
born outside the vas Asiatic-
Pacific triangle, must "trace his
genealogical ties and satisfy ir-
rational criteria of acceptability if
he wishes to become a United
States citizen"
/ The national origins formula
discriminates against immigrants
-predominately Catholic now,
heavily Catholic and Jewish in
pre-war days-from southern and
eastern Europe. It has always
done so by design. The architects
Of this formula made no bones
about it. The late Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri, who tackled
it onto the 1924 immigration Act,
to take effect five years later,
bluntly told his colleagues: II
think most of us are reconciled
to the idea Of discrimination =. f.
We have got to discriminate"

You hear it said that Catholics

Il is said char Catholics want
religious freedom only for them
selves. that they oppose public
schools and separation Of Church
and State as evils which should
: be destroyed.
The claim is made that Catho-
lies pay the priest for forgiveness
of their sins ). that they must buy

But what is worse, some say.
Catholics corrupt the true teach
ings of Jesus Christ with the ad-
dition Of pagan superstitions and
practices thar are nothing less
than the inventions of the devil.
If all these things-or any of
them-were true, il would be a
pity. For at least one out Of every

it would be a national tragedy if
