Some 10000 skilled special

GLIDING about $500 Chinese,
would be eligible for United

The measure, introduced by
Representative Walter, Demo-
crat of Pennsylvania, co-author
of the basic Walter-McC arran

Of the House immigration Sub
comittee, also would allow visas
for an estimated 10000 or so
Europeans - mainly italians -

BY providing for a change in

Statewide Effect
Seen in Court RULING

Pollock, Baltimore Democratic
boss, contained enough valid
signatures to be certified for
referendum.
If this happened, passage of
the bills in special session and
the acts themselves might be
in jeopardy.
Validity Challenged
Judge Raine's opinion in
volved a bill to require Balti-
more county's public school
buses to transport private and
parochial school pupils.
The sponsor Of the measure.
Delegate Herbert H. Tyler,
Democrat of Baltimore county,
filed suit last July challenging
the validity of many of the
20,772 signatures obtained in a
referendum campaign against
it.
Attorneys for the Anti-Bus
Bill Committee, Inc, asked for
a court ruling because they
feared the attorney general
might throw out petitions con-
tanning one or more invalid
names.
Judge Raine, who promised
to file a formal opinion next
week, said he would rule that
"the mere fact that several sig
natures on a page are not sig
