McCarran Act Doomed; Both
Parties Agree to Change Ii
The McCarran-Walter Immigration Bill, which has been subjected to
severe attacks by liberal elements of all faiths, is due for a change, thanks
to the condemnations to which it was subjected in the present political
campaign and in President Truman's veto message.
The President's attack upon the original supporters of the McCarran
Bill, incorporated in a message to the Jewish Welfare Board's Leadership
Conference in Washington last Friday, has stirred a heated debate in-
volving a number of Jewish leaders as well as political candidates.

The President's message was written before Gen. Eisenhower, in
a speech Friday night at Newark, condemned the McCarran-Walter
Immigration Act. In a speech which President Truman delivered Sat-
urday in Brooklyn he took note of the fact that Gen. Eisenhower had
come out "at this eleventh hour" for rewriting the McCarran Act.
"I am glad he's done so, because I welcome support of every American
in the fight to get the law changed," Truman said.
In the meantime, Senator Nixon, General Eisenhower's running.
mate, who 'voted for the McCarran Bill and opposed President Truman's
veto, announced that he, too, now favors revision of the vicious act.
Senator Sparkman, Governor Stevenson's running - mate supported
President Truman's veto of the Mc Carran Act.
Thus, President Truman, who originally had the support of the
Democratic candidates for President, and Vice-President, now has the as-
surance that the Republican candidates also are committed to a change
in the McCarran Act.
President Truman's, criticism of General Eisenhower was condemned
by Bernard M. Baruch and received the approval of Benjamin G. Browdy,
former president of the ZOA.
