2-(Sec. I) Statesman, Salem, Ore., Mon., Nov. 21, "55 Senator Demands ffiSX Immigration Ac Be : j 'JOHN CHADWICX - WASHINGTON (JP) S r n: Kennedy (D-Mass.) urged Sunday that, the" McCarran-Walter Immi gration Act be scrapped. He said its "obvious weaknesses and dis criminatory features . . , cry out lor correction."; '- "" Kennedy's statement was pre pared for submission to a Senate immigration subcommittee that will start Monday the first public Scrapped . - ' . i , --- - - : NMAOkehs Layoff Pay Suggestion -.NEW YORK Oft The National Assn. of Manufacturers Sunday ap proved a form of layoff .pay. The NAM said the plan differs in two major respects from that agreed to by Ford and . the CIO United Auto Workers. - t One is that the NAM plan is based on an individual fund for each worker, whereas the Ford clan provides for a pooled fund The other is that Ford benefits would be paid only to workers eli gible for state unemployment com pensation, whereas the nam pun has nothing to do with state pay menu, i : The NAM -type plan, already in use by two large glass manufactur ers, provides for an employer-paid individual savings account for. each worker, to be drawn on in periods of sickness or layoff. The money would be earmarked for a particu lar worker and would belong to .him if he left the company. ' Because it is divorced from state unemployment, payments and , is not a pooled fund, the NAM said. "if a laid-off employe uses . his plan to stay out of work longer than is necessary, he will be using money he otherwise could keep lor The NAM contended its plan also would strengthen the feehng that each worker ! has a personal re sponsibility to help safeguard his own financial security. The alternative plan is in effect between the' United Glass and Ceramic Workers CIO) and the Pittsburgh Plate Glass and Llboy- owens-Ford companies. It calls tor a company contribution : of , five cents an hour for each employe. as" does the Ford plan.

' Ike Asks Action ,, President Eisenhower, ' shortly after his : inauguration in 1953, called on Congress, to reconsider the act, the nation's basic immi gration and naturalization- law. He said it was discriminatory and contained injustices. Kireore said, however, that ad ministration officials had "ducked every invitation" to testify before his subcommittee, that he had been trying since last April to ob tain their views on proposed changes m the law. Numerous bills have been In troduced to revise the McCarran- Walter act, but none of them has made any headway. . Kennedy, in a statement made public Sunday, asked the subcom mittee to junk the . McCarran Walter act and recommend pass age of new immigration -legislation introducedby Sen. Lehman (D-N.Y.J. Like other critics of the Mc Carran- Walter act, Kennedy cen tered much of his fire on its re tention of the system of assign ing immigration quotas on the basis of the national origins of the U. S. population in 1920. He described this national or igins' formula, first adopted in the early 1920's, as "perhaps the most blatant piece of discrimina tion in cur nation's history." Kennedy said this system dis criminates against southern ' and eastern Europeans and against Asiatics, while giving northern and western European nations quotas far in excess of their needs; v Officials Fetef Trial Clearance ' Of Joan of Arc i. - . j - PARIS I Government officials.
