Legislation to
lighten Ike's
Load Urged
By JACK ADAMS
VieurWVmV t VrnnnnaU
to lighten the physical work of the
President, as well as to make ma
jor changes in immigration laws,
will be urged on Congress by the
Justice Department next month.
Department sources gave a
broad outline of the legislative
program Wednesday. '
. They Hid bills relating to the
President's work load do not en
visage any delegation of import
ant powers or, as has been sug-
. gestea in some quarters, ncauun
' of an "assistant president's" job.
But. these sources went on. Con
gress could , relieve the President
of many hours of work -weekly by
eliminating some of the require
ments for his signature hundreds
of times on documents, . some cf
them of a trivial nature.
I2S Signatures

that when President Eisenhower
issued Christmas clemencies to 42

However, Ally, uen. urownen
worked ut a single document fqr
the 42. which the President had to
sign only once. This single signa
ture empowered the attorney gen
eral to issue the individual clem
ency orders over his name.
The official said the same idea
could be worked out in other de
partment and agencies by slight
changes in the law.
Brownell disclosed recently that
the legislative program would in
volve request 1 for "drastic"
changes in the McCarran-Walter
Immigration Act.
It is now reported that the im
migration changes to be sought
will include revision of the present
system of alien admission quotas,
which President Truman once de
nounced as "infamous racial dis
crimination." .
KevtskiM Needed
The Justice sources said revi
sions also are needed to provide
greater 'administrative discreation
In the v handling of "hardship
cases" such as the separation of
families. ,
They . also said legislation is
needed to speed up deportation of
undesirable aliens, particularly
those who have engaged in crimi
nal activity.
The attorney general was rep
resented , as feeling that every
alien facing deportation action had

not be permitted to bring repetlti

Youth Wounds
Girl Proving
Rifle's Range j
NEW YORK iff -A teen-ager
shot a .22 rifle at a little girt, in
juring her critically, to prove to
his buddies how fsr the gun would
shoot, police said Wednesday.
The injured girl Patricia Mur
phy, 10. was walking to her Bronx
home with her halFbrother early
Tuesday night after ice skating
at a playground. When she got
home she told her mother she had
felt a sting and believed someone
had thrown a stons at her as she
walked across a field.
The mother called a doctor who.
discovered a bullet lodged in her
body. The child was taken to
Fordham Hospital where her con
dition was reported critical after
an Operation to remove the bullet.
Police later arrested four teen
agers and charged them with ju
venile delinquency in connection
with the girl s shooting.
A fifth youth also was involved,
police said, but he was already
being held in Queens on a purse
snatching charge.
Of four boys arrested near their
homes in Astoria, Queens, two
were 13 years old and the other
12. and 15, police said. The youth
arrested on the purse-snatching
charge was 18-year-old Thomas
Clark of the Bronx.
The 15-year-old was the one who
fired the rifle at Patricia, said
police, who did not identify the
boy. They said the youths were
shooting at tin cans in the Bronx
field when a discussion arose
about how far the gun could shoot.
The 15-year-old pointed to Patri
cia, who was some distance swsy,
and told the others. "I'll bet I can
hit that girl over there," police
reported.
