ike Asks Boost Bn
immigration Quotas
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower urged congress
today to boost U.S. immigration
quotas by about 65,000 persons
a year as part of a 14-point pro
gram to liberalize the controver
sial McCarran-Walter immigra
tion law.
He also called for legislation
to prevent "depraved criminals"
from "abusing" the right of ap
peal to the courts after they
have been ordered deported
from this country.
In a 5500-word special mes
sage to the House and Senate,
Mr. Eisenhower said the addi
tional immigration quotas which
he proposed should be "distrib
uted among countries in propor
tion to their actual immigration
to this country" since 1945. The
effect would be to give a break
to countries like Italy and
Greece, which have long wait
ing lists of would-be immigrants
to America.
Asks Prompt Action
Present ceiling on immigration
Is 154,657 persons a year. Mr.
Eisenhower noted that this was
"derived from a formula based
upon the 1920 population." He
said the country's "economic
growth" since that time war
rants increasing the ceiling to
200,000.
Appealing for . prompt action
on his proposals, Mr. Eisenhow
er said that "throughout our
history immigration has contrib
uted greatly to the strength and
character of our republic."
Liberalizing the immigration
act, he said, "will advance our
own self-interest' and "also
serve as living demonstration
that we recognize our responsi
bilities of world leadership."
Despite the President's plea,
chances for congressional appro-
I val of the program this year are
I believed to be slim. Rep. Francis
E. Walter (D-Pa.), co-author of
I the act and chairman of the
j House committee that handles
immigration bills, has already
announced his opposition to any
extensive revisions.
Mr. Eisenhower ' did not spell
out his proposal for tightening
up on the legal appeal rights of
aliens ordered deported from the
country. He" said Attorney Gen
eral Herbert Brownell Jr. will
submit specific legislation later.
The President also proposed
that Congress repeal the "un
necessary" provision requiring
aliens to specify their race and
origin in applying for visas,
eliminate the requirement that
an alien must live in this coun
try for a full year before acquir
ing resident rights by marriage
to an American citizen, and
abandon the requirement that
foreigners passing through this
country on international air
flights must meet all the stand
ards for admission as immi
grants. Mr. Eisenhower also asked for.
a "special pool" of 5,000 visas
a year which he said would
"enable us to give greater assist
ance to persons abroad who have
undergone suffering and hard
ship resisting Communist aggres
sion" or who have special skills
that "would make beneficial
contributions to this country."
He also sought authority for
the secretary of state and attor
ney general to waive the require
ment that every alien coming
here on a temporary visit must
be finger-printed. , Mr. Eisen
hower said that this requirement
"does not significantly contrib
ute to our national safety" and
has caused some international
I resentment.

Alabama U. Heads for Showdown
On Admission of Negro Student
Tuscaloosa, Ala flj.R) The
University of Alabama today
headed for a showdown in the
v i o 1 c nt controversy raging
around the exclusion of its first
Negro student.
University authorities refus
ed to budge from the stand that
Autherine Lucy, the student, was
barred from classes in a move
to prevent further violence that
might cause injury to students,
faculty and the woman herself.
But Arthur Shores, Miss
Lucy's attorney, warned Tues
day that she must be permitted
to return to classes or he will
ask that the board of trustees
be cited for contempt of court
for authorizing her exclusion. -
In New York, Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
called on Attorney General Her
bert Brownell to take criminal
action against "any and all per
sons" who are preventing the
woman from attending classes.
Says Most With Her
Miss Lucy said in a special dis
patch prepared for the United
Press that she believed the ma
jority 1 of students wanted her
to return to classes.
"Some of the students were
very friendly toward me," she
wrote. "Others were hostile. But
I feel the majority is for me."
Another student, . Leonard
Wilson, said he believed Miss
Lucy should not be permitted
to return because "the . demon
strations show beyond a reason
able doubt that integration will
not work."
"For the safety of herself and
of all the other students, she
should not be admitted," Wil
son said.

night tabled a motion that class-

Editor's note: The following was
written for United Press by the first
Negro student of the University of
Alabama who was suspended because
of campus demonstrations.
By AtTTHERINE LUCY
Written for United Press
Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) I
have" always wanted to go to the
University of Alabama and being
there just these few days has
made me feel good inside.
I want to go back just as soon
as the board of trustees tells me
I can.
I believe the University of
Alabama student body will ac
cept me if they are left alone by
outsiders. .
I want to be an acceptable li
brarian'and I have no other in
terest in this than that I want
to get a good education.
Proud of University
I don't think I'm asking for
anything I am not entitled to. I
am proud f the university and I
will be proud to be a student
there. ,
Some of the students'' were
very friendly toward me. Others
were hostile. But I feel the ma
jority is for me. -
Although I think the board of
trustees probably did what was
best in excluding me from class
yesterday, I don't think it would
have been necessary had they
taken the right action quickly..
I really don't know what they
should have done. But I feel they
could have done something to
have prevented my having to
discontinue classes.
I deeply regret the incidents of
the last few days because I want
only to have a chance to learn.
Editor's note: In the following dis
patch a 19-year-old pre-law student
at the University of Alabama tells the
reasons why he thinks a Negro should
not be admitted to the university.
By LEONARD WILSON
Written for United Press
Tuscalossa, Ala. (U.R) It
would be the greatest thing
Autherine Lucy ever did if she
would withdraw voluntarily
from the University of Alabama.
The demonstrations here show
beyond a reasonable doubt that
integration will not work.
For the safety of herself and
of all the other students, she
should not be admitted.
I think the violent demonstra
tions that occurred Monday are
certain evidence of this. I be
lieve they would crop up again
should she be allowed to return
to the campus.
Students Take Part -
I will also take issue with a
report that the participants in
the demonstrations have been
outsiders. There were probably
some taxpaying citizens in the
crowds but in the groups I saw
assembled there were more uni
versity students than outsiders.
I don't think Autherine Lucy
is responsible for what she is
doing. Apparently she is being
backed pushed by the wretched
National Association for the Agi
tation of Colored People.- . '
' The only solution to the prob
lem will be for Autherine Lucy
to withdraw voluntarily tand put
an end to all connected court
litigation.
es be suspended if further riot
ing breaks out over the woman's
admission.
But the student government
association unanimously adopt
ed a resolution condemning the
violence.
Rocks and Eggs Thrown
The school trustees relied on
their "police power" to bar the
girl from further classes "until
further notice" in view of the
rioting which included shouted
threats and barrages of rocks
and eggs hurled at the girl and
at officials who tried to break
up the mob.
A faculty member proposed
that classes be suspended if fur
ther rioting results and his mo
tion turned the otherwise calm
meeting, of 400 faculty members
into 'a turmoil.
A number of faculty memb
ers shouted approval of the res
olution but in the midst of the
noisy debate the meeting was
adjourned and the motion was
tabled.
The student resolution con
demned "three days" of "mob
violence" and urged that "means
be taken to protect personal safe
ty of the students and .faculty
and the reputation of the uni
versity." '
