BOUQUETS ARE tossed to
Sid Gordon in the June 2 issue
of Sporting News.
Says writer Ken Smith: "When
a Giant gets hurt, all Mel Ott
has to do is replace him with
Gordon and the varsity remains
intact, for the stocky Brooklyn
native is regular-at-large on the
roster, a front-row fellow with-
out official portfolio.
"When the whole team dips
into a slump, all Ot has to do
is bench somebody and insert
Gordon. Presto! The boys start
winning."
• At this writing Sid is hitting
a lusty .330 which is 14th best
in the league.

WASHINGTON (WNS)—Only
15,000 of the 150,000 Jews in
European DP camps would be
eligible for admission to the
United States if the Wiley-Rever-
comb immigration bill, passed by
the Senate, were to become law,
it was revealed here as an im-
migration sub-committee an-
nounced its decision to recom-
mend to the House that it
adopt the more liberal Fellows
DP bill.
The immigration bill approved
by the Senate would admit 200,-
000 DP's into this country within
the next two years. First pri-
orities are to be given to dis-
placed orphans and men who
bore arms for the Allies in World
War
MIGHT LOSE PRIORITY
Since many Jewish DP's were
in concentration camps during
the war and were unable to join
the Allied armies, they would
stand to lose immigration priority
if this provision went into effect.
The bill further requires that
100,000 of the 200,000 DP's to be
admitted come from the Baltic
countries annexed by Russia and
states that in order to be an
eligible DP, one most have en-
tered a camp in Italy, Germany
or Austria by December 22, 1945.
Following passage of the Se
ate bill, many
congress
voiced their disapproval of legi -
lation they termed, "restrictive."
Senator Claude Pepper declared:
"If not by design, at least by, ef-
fect, this bill discriminates against
the Jews."
FAVORS BALTS
He pointed out that of the 800,-
000' DP's in European camps,
171,000 are Batts and 128,000 are
Jews. Yet, he stressed, under the
Senate bill half those admitted
to this country must be Baits.
The Fellows bill would provide
for the entrance into this coun-
try of displaced Jews in the same
proportion to the total number of
DP's admitted as they hold to
the total population of the DP
camps.
