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.

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. '
