Senate Votes for Admission of 209,000
Aliens Above Quota; Arabs to Benefit

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
Senate voted to admit within
three years 209,000 above-quota
immigrants in response to Pres- I
ident Eisenhower's request for
emergency legislation to admit
victims of Communism and
over-crowding in Europe. The
vote was 63 to 30.
Before the measure was
brought to a vote on the Senate
floor a compromise deal was
made between Administration
forces and the anti-immigration
elements led by Sen. Pat McCar-
ron. It was reported that the
Administration agreed not to
seek any change in the McCar-
ran-Walter Act at this time. In
return. Sen. McCarron reported-
ly consented to allow the bill
to go through without a bitter
fight on `the Senate floor.
Earlier, the House passed a
version of -the same bill calling
for admission of 217,000 over a
period of three yearS. The two
versions now go to a Senate-
H o u s e conference committee
where differenceS will be com-
promised and ironed out. The
President's original request was
for 240,000 persons to be admit-
ted in the next two years.
Although President Eisen-
hower envisioned the measure

as a move to relieve Europeans,
a claim was made that it
"discriminated" against Pal-
estinian- Arab refUgees. An
amendment favoring the ad-
mission of 2,000 Arabs was
written into the House version.

ciple by major_ Jewish organi-
zations. Sen. Herbert H. Leh-
man said: "To present this bill
as a fulfillment of the promises
made in the past or as a remedy
for the defects noted in the Mc-
Carran-Walter Act would be a
fraud upon the American peo-
ple." Sen. Lehman pointed out
that -"this bill not only does
nothing about the basic defects
in the McCarran-Walter Act—
it accepts and adopts those de-
fects."
Nevertheless, Sen. Lehman
stated he would vote for the
present bill because he felt its
overall purpose was humanitar-
ian. He said, however, that he
wished "to make it unmistakably
clear that the bill "is no substi-
tute for basic revisions in one
of the worst statutes I have ever
known, one of the most shame-
ful laws ever to be written on
the statute books of the United
States." He referred to the Mc-
Carran-Walter Act.
