Monday, May 20. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRI3UNE THKEE Measures To Change Immigration Laws Bottled Up in Committee By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The chasm which divides conservatives from lib erals in the ranks of congression al Democrats has become, in this session of Congress, a handy dumping ground for proposed changes in the immigration laws to aid Hungarian ref ugees and to permit Ore gon's Harry Holt to resume his orphan air lift from Korea. a. aobt. smith i n e Eisen hower administration and the Democratic leaders of both Sen ate and House favor legislation to liberalize the immigration laws and to extend the refugee relief act which expired last Dec. 31. Nor is there any disa greement from them over the bill of Sen. Richard L Neuber ger (D-Ore.) for allowing 10,000 additional war orphans to be ad mitted to this country. The disagreement lies within the judiciary committees of both houses where legislation of this type is handled and where the split in the Democratic party is personified in the Tommittee membership. Sen. James O. Eastland CD Miss.), as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has the power to determine when his group will meet and what they will take up and the immigra tion bills have yet to be sched uled for a hearing. Eastland is concentrating on smothering the more controversial civil rights bill which the administration is pushing Congress to enact.

Glassware Dept. 2nd Floor have been held by Eastland on the civil rights bill, but no vote has been allowed to send it from committee to the floor. During this strategically lengthy dis cussion of civil rights. Eastland has announced that the commit tee won't have time to deal with other major legislation. This means the administra tion's omnibus immigration bill, as well as Neuberger's orphan bill, are bottled up, along with other bills in Eastland's, com mittee. As a result, the White House has begun to chide Dem ocrats for failure to act on this legislation. The situation in the House committee is uniquely different. ! for the chairman of that judici ary committee. Rep. Emanuel Cellar (D-N.Y.), is one of the Democrats' most liberal mem bers. He is sponsoring immigra tion legislation that goes beyond theone the administration wants enacted. Yet no action has been taker. Would Help Hungarians The holdup there is caused by Rep. Francis Walter (D-Pa.), who is chairman of the immigration subcommittee. Walter personally has introduced a bill to allow 5,000 Avar orphans into the coun try and has talked about helping the Hungarians who fled ' after the uprising against the Com munists last fall. But Walter's talk has resulted in no action, and he has no hear ings scheduled. Reportedly he fears the resulting vote would be in favor of Cellar's more lib eral legislation to change the existing McCarran-Walter immi gration . act of which the con gressman was co-author. The re sult is that no action is being taken on Walter's own bill, much less the administration's bill or a 10,000 orphan bill sponsored by Rep. Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.). Anxiety Expressed In recent correspondence with Neuberger, Harry Holt has ex pressed anxiety about the need for legislative action to permit him to bring to America at great personal expense, as he has done in the past several years more mixed-blood children who were fathered by American troops. Holt continues to process applications from many Ameri can couples who would be de lighted to make these children part of their families. - ( In Europe, America is now re ported to be getting a black eye because it has appeared to- go back on its promises to help Hun garian refugees and is leaving to far smaller western nations the big job of resettling the escapees. These considerations have had i no noticeable effect on the law makers who have blockaded the issue on Capitol Hill.
