Ike Signs Immigration Bill
—International Photo
President Eisenhower signs an "emergency" immigration
bill to let approximately 60,000 hardship cases enter the
United States. Rep. Francis E. Walter, co-author of the Mc-
Carran-Walter Immigration Act, said that the President's sig-
nature on the bill should "remove all legitimate basis for
complaint" about U.S. immigration policy. However, the Presi-
dent termed the bill a "disappointment," and urged Congress
to make further changes next year. Major Jewish organiza-
tions shared President Eisenhower's disappointment, calling
the changes "commendable but minor." On the local scene,
the Michigan Committee on Immigration said the bill "is a far
cry from the kind of modern immigration code which the
United States needs."
Assisting Dr. Chinitz will
be Harry Weinstein, while
Mordecai Elk, the sexton, will
assist Rabbi Chinitz. Services
are planned for 6 p.m., Wed-
