INow-Whut With the Squirrels and All
Democrat Ponders
Next Move Against
immigration Expert
By MoU McGrory

Representative Walter has not
yet decided what his next move
viii be in his disagreement with
the State Departments immi-
grafton expert Edward j. Corsi.
The Pennsylvania Democrat is
chairman of both the House I'm
migration Subcommittee and the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. He holds fast to his
belief that Mr.. Corsi, one-time
United States immigration Com
missioner and more recently New
York Industrial Commissioner
under Gov. Dewey. will not do
for his new job-helping to adj
minister the controversial Ref
ugee Relief Act.
Mr.. Walter, at an open hear
ing several weeks age, charged
Mr.. Corsi with membership in
several left-wing organizations.
Mr.. Corsi has denied the charges.
State, Walter Differ
In defense Of Mr.. Corsi, the
State Department said that his
presence on its roster indicated
he had met the Departments
high standards. Mr.. Walter,
however, contends that Mr.. Corsi
has not been cleared.
A reporter who inquired about
the possibility Of open hearings
on the matter got this answer
from Mr.. Walter:
81 don't know. I hate to rock
the boat. All these stories about
squirrels and everything make
us look so silly abroad. I hate
to add to Mr.. Dulles burdens"
Aside from alleged left-wing
associations. Mr.. Walter indicts
Mr. Corsi on a second count
his outspoken opposition to the
McCarran-Walter Act, which
Mr.. Walter helped write. This
is not the act Mr.. Corsi is as
signed to administer, but Mr..
Walter says it is based on the
same standards as the Refugee
Relief Act.
Bitter Over Publicity
Mr.. Walter feels bitterly about
the publicity that has attended
his criticism of Mr.. Corsi. He
reminded the reporter that his
original charges against Mr..
Corsi followed a statement by
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat, of New York, which was
critical of State Department Sc
curity Chief Scott Mcleod, who
is written into the refugee act as
administrator.
Nobody attacked Celler for
that" said Mr.. Walter.

through a dossier on Mr.. Corsi.

Secret Senate Talks
On Reciprocal Trade
10 Begin Tomorrow
~ BY the Associated Press

The Senate Finance Commit
tee goes behind closed doors to-
morrow to try to resolve one Of
the most bitterly contested issues
of this session-President Eisen-
hower's foreign trade program.
The secret sessions are likely
to last at least two weeks: some
members fear they will be much
| longer.
Democratic leaders were say
ing early in the session they
would get the reciprocal trade bill
through in the form desired by
Mr.. Eisenhower. They said this
would show they could furnish
him much greater support on
this measure than his own party.
Program Faces Trouble.
But supporters of the program
in both parties now concede it
is in great trouble in the Senate.
A flood of amendments are being
offered in behalf Of industries
and regions which fear import
competition.
Chairman Byrd Of the Finance
Committee said he expected a
tough battle in his committee,
| with various members pressing
vigorously for drastic amend
ments.
The Virginian would not pre-
dict the outcome; he is gen.
orally supporting the administra-
ton on this issue. but has reser-
vations about international or
CARNATIONS through which the
United States has conducted
trade negotiations.
Senator Miliken, Republican
of Colorado, senior Republican
on the Finance Committee and
a legislator who long has had
strong doubts about the recipro-
cal trade program. told a re-
porter he was sure the act would
be extended.
