IMMIGRATION
■There have been heavy pres
•4tres to change the nation's
WSmigration laws for the past
decade. For the last five yars.
the White House has urged
that these laws be rewritten
to discard the national quotf
system which Congress first
aftacted in 1924. Last week,
l&e long-awaited debate on
what our immigration policy
afnuld be, took place in the
Hbuse of Representatives.
•Any country's national self
interest determines its immi
geation policy. Many countries
teday severly limit admission
nd some permit no immigra
tion at all. Australia allow:
oeily members of the white
rfcce to enter. Liberia exclude:
•ill persons who are not mem
bers 6f the Negro race. Jordan
and Morocco permit only Ara
bic k people ta immigrate
rl accepts only members of
Jewish faith.Switzerland
Japan forbid all immi
gkation and the Soviet Unio r
accepts no immigrants except
under special circumstances.
• In the United States, immi-
Ration has played a majo
-olßrt in the development of the
country. Throughout the las
ffentury, this country welcom
ad and encouraged peoples t'
come here from all over th

.worid. Great tracts of land to
[ae developed and a growing
industrial economy provided
oom and opportunity for all.
However, by the early part of
the twentieth century, great
changes had occurred. The
American frontier had been
conquered in the West. Vast
numbers of immigrants were
arriving each month. Bewild
sred by our customs, our lan
guage, and our institutions,
these people gravitated to
ghettos in our large cities
where they could speak their
)wn language and cling to old
ind familiar customs. A vast
irray of social problems fes
ered in the ghettos. Unem
iloyroent and grinding poverty
var were rampant and it be
•ame imperative that our na
ional policy be changed.
The change was made in 1924
vhen a yearly quota was im
oosed limiting the number of
mmigrants who could enter '
he country. The quota was
livided into sub-quotas for
ach country of the world,
rhis law also barred persons
vho would eventually be
found ineligible for citizenship,
ts formula favored immigra- 1
ion from certain countries on
he premise that some coun
ries and areas are far closer
0 the United States in culture
ustoms. standards of living,
espect for law and experience
n self-government
As the years have passed
tew situations have aroused
ncreasing criticism of the
mmigration laws. Both
'residents Kennedy and John
;on have urged the Congress
\o change the law to admit
tliens on the basis of skills
-ather than on the basis of
'heir country of origin. This
is a persuasive idea, but close
tudy of the actual legislation
iisclosed some serious flaws
\s it was first offered, the bill
would have increased the
number of immigrants b ,r
several hundred thousand each
vear and would surely contri
bute to the serious problems
we already have unemploy
ment, welfare, housing and
education. The original bill
would have removed present
restrictions against the ad
mission of the insane. As it
would also have legalized the
status of ship-jumpers. It
would have handed over Con
gressional powers over immi
gration matters to the Presi
dent who would have decided
who and how many immi
grants could enter. This bill,
1 am glad to say, was com
pletely rewritten by the House
judiciary Committee an da
much more specific and tighter
version was presented to the
House.
I f£el that the bill, as it was
finally offered, takes an im
portant step toward what our
immigration policy ought to
be. It. is written to promote
reunification of families, it
protects the .country from
pressures of population sur
plus, and it encourages the cul
tural and technological grow
th of the country. It establishes
a ceiling of 170,000 immigrants
each year. Even with all these
improvements, however, i t
leaves a glaring hole in the
law. The 170,000 would be
drawn only from the Eastern
Hemisphere • Europe and Asia.
No lifit was placed on immi
gration from the other coun
tries of North and South
America.
Throughout Latin America,
the population growth is twice
that in the United States. Im

NASCAR Grand National
SENATOR ERVIN SAYS
WASHINGTON The Sen
ate got a warning about high
er military costs and potential
military equipment shortages
during consideration of the de
fense appropriation bill last
week. The warning came when
Senator Stennis, floor manager
of the $46.8 billion defense
money bill, said that amounts
appropriated now would have
to be supplemented in January
1966 to meet 'the mounting
tempo of our operations"
around the world. Defense ap
propriations earlier this year
were thought to be leveling off, I
but some Senators studying
the Vietnam situation have
estimated that the defense
budget will rise by $7 to $lO
billion early next year.
Advocating a realistic ap
proach to military needs and
costs. Senator Stannis said that
unless the military situation
changes rapidly that "sooner
or later we are going to have
to provide the funds to replace
equipment and material di
verted to Vietnam, to recon
stitute our strategic reserve,
to supply existing shortages of
equipment and weapons, and
to forestall even more serious
problems are not critical now.
contended that while weapons
problems are not critical now,
they could become so if neg
lected.
Repeal of the right-to-work
section of the Taft-Hartley
Act, which passed the House
on July 28, is listed as a
priority measure for Senate
action before adjournment.
The controversial measure
ar occurring there. In the last
Tew years there have been
startling increases in immigra
tion from these countries and
at the present time there is no
restriction on the mmbrs
who may enter the United
States since the national quota
system does not apply to Latin
America.
So long as nothing is done
to correct this problem, the
legislation would surely fail
to meet the immigration issue
and certainly is not in our na
tional interest. Strong efforts
were made to close this big
gap in our national immigra
tion policy. However, because
the efforts were unsuccessful,
I felt compelled to oppose the
final passage of the bill.

would probably touch oft a
long discussion on the most
basic principles of human
rights.
I have strong feelings about
the repeal of this section of
the Taft-Hartley Act. If it
comes to the Senate Floor at
this session. I intend to dis
cuss the right-to-work princi
ples at length. I would do so
In the hope that the majority
of the Senate would reach the
sound conclusion that the re
peal of Section 14(b) would
interfere with one of the most
basic freedoms of the Ameri
can people. As a matter of
principle, I do not believe that
any man should be compelled
to join or support any organi
zation of any kind for the priv
ilege of eating his own bread
gained by the toil of his own
hands.
Foreign aid got another one
year extension with the Snate-
House approval of the $3.3
billion authorization bill for
the program. The subject has
been a Senate controversy
since March with action yet
to be taken on the appropria
tion bill to provide funds for
the extension of the program.
The program in its present form
is not satisfactory to the Unit
ed States or the recipient na
tions. Both its merits and its
costs are constantly debated
and challenged. I think foreign
aid continues to be a most
expensive means for achieving
limited results. For this and
many other policy reasons. I
voted against the authorization
of the program.
BETTER MAKE SURE
The surly eld miser fell
ill, and in a panic sent for
the local clergyman, although
he had never done anything
to help the parish.
"If I leave $50,000 to the
church," he croaked, "will my
salvation be assured?"
"I wouldn't be certain," re
plied the cleryman, "but it's
worth trying!"

News
I received a letter from an
estranged wife of a wage
earner now drawing old-age
insurance benefits. "I'm still
his legal wife," she wrote,
and asked if she were entitled
to benefits now that she had
attained age 65.
I wrcte this lady to come
in and file her claim imme
diately for it is not nefcessary
for the husband and wife to
be living together in order
for the wife to receive bene
fits.
Here are the requirements
for entitlement to wife's be
nefits:
... be the wife cf a wage
earner entitled to an old-age
insurance or disability insur
ance benefit
. . . have attained age 62
or have in her care a child
entitled to benefits on the
earnings record of her hus
band
. . . not be entitled to an
old-age survivors or disabili
ty insurance benefit which
equals or exceeds one-half of
the primary insurance a
mount of her husband.
. . . file an application
fcr benefits.
Wives' benefits are paid at
age 62 if reduced benefits
are elected. Tiiis is a de
cision the wife must make
herself. Social Security em
ployees will discuss the effect
of filing early and at age 65
out Uiey won't make a rec
ommendation. Various factors,
such as the length of lime
ycu live, etc., determine whe
ther "early benefits" or a
reduced rate are beneficial in
your case.
Of course, this provision
holds true for widows as well
as wives. At the death of a
wage earner, the surviving
widow - - regardless cf whe
ther she is living with the
nusband or not -- may be en
titled to monthly benefits.
The widow's benefit is pay
able at age 62 without re
duction and mother's be
nefits are paid to the widow
even though she is not 62 if
she has "in her care" a child
of the deceased wage earner
who is entitled to benefits.
Women should learn their
rights as a wife or widow
under the Social Security
program. Send for free Book
