To Request Changes
In Imiiiigratiou Law
By JACK ADAMS I
WASHINGTON (-A messace
fin immigrations which President
Eisenhower will send in confirms J
Tuesday is expected to propose,
gome radical changes in the alien ,
and- nationality laws. I
It was learned that, among
other things, the president mav
ask for broad revision of the
quota system as set up in the
controversial McCarran-Walter art
of 1952.
The quotas represent th? for
mula under which annual alien
admission, country by country. 'S
permitted.
Atty. Gen. Rrownell, whose de
partment supervises, immigration,
told a Republican women's grojp
in December that the McCarran
Waller act- needy drastic changes
to correct "inequities." ,
Brownell is now reported to
.have proposed a new look at th
quota system.
Quota Base of 1921
The 19'2 law carried forward
quota base of 1921, which was'
worked out to make adm.ssmns
proportionate to the national
origins of the U. S. population at
that time. The act was passed
over former President Truman's
veto. Truman described the for
mula for alien admissions as "in
famous racial discrimination,"
working against the peools of
eastern and southern Europe md
oter areas who, he said, most
needed refuge in this country.
"Hardship Cases"
The Eisenhower message is alo
expected to go along with the
known views of Brownell a.U inr
migration commissioner Joseph
M. Swing that portions of the pros
ent act should be relaxed to pro
vide greater administrative dis
cretion in "hardship rases " where
strict application of the law
might Separate families of other
wise admissable persons.
Eisenhower will also probably
ask for some restriction on re
course to the courts in deporta
tion actions.
The immigration service came
tinder criticism in congress last
year because some deportation
proceedings had been pendmj
against alien criminals without
any resulting exclusion from the
country.
Water Demand
To Be Double'
By Year 1975
PORTLAND M - Len Jordan,
chairman of the U.S. section of
the International Joint Commission
on Water Resources, said Monday
that the demand for water will
double by 1975.
The former Idaho governor told
the sixth annual Oregon and Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce
managers' conference that data on
water resources must be collected
and evaluated. He urged mat lea-
eral funds be doubled from the
present 40 million to 80 million
dollars a year for this purpose
over the next five years. ,
Jordan discussed a report pre
pared by presidential committee
on water resources policy and
lauded the Eisenhower "partner
ship" program for power develop
ment. , .
At the morning session, A. B
Lavton, vice president of Crown
Zellerbach said that lack of access
roads was responsible for the loss
to decay each year of about a nil
lion boiwr-feet of Pacific North
est lumber.
Immigration officials said at
that time their hands were tied
by repeated appeals to the courts.
The attorney general , wa; i e
ported feeling that every a'irn
facing deportation action has the
right to his "day in court," pa s
the right of appeal to the supreme
court.
However, he was understood to
have taken the position that repe
titious habeas corpus actions in
different federal courts for the
purpose of delaying a final depor
tation order should not be permitted.
