Churchmen Back Reform in Immigration Laws
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (JTA)-
- The National Council of Churches
. encouraged the platform commit-
tee of the Democratic Party to
include a plank in the party's plat-
form pledging efforts to eliminate
the discriminatory, national ori-
gins quota provision of U.S. im-
. migration laws. -
Addressing the committee, Mrs.
Theodore F. - Wallace, a vice-presi-
dent of the National Council of
Churches, said that "any system
which gives .three countries (Ger-
many, r eland and the United
Kingdom) 70 per cent of the avail-
able quotas, while 102 countries
receive the remaining 30 per cent,
is an affront to the peoples of the
world."
"We hope that the Democratic
National Convention could pledge
its support for substantial reform
of our immigration laws at the
earliest possible moment," Mrs.
Wallace deelared.

Tass Denies USSR Is Anti-Semitic- Attacks Senators
LONDON (JTA) — Tass, the
official Soviet news agency, issued
a heated denial of the existence of
anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union,
and contrasted the life of Jews in
Russia with that of Negroes in the
United States. Tass said that alle-
gations by "some United States
Senators" -concerning maltreatment
of Soviet Jews were attempts "to
divert world public opinion from
America's own race troubles."
"Some" U.S. quarters, Tass said,
"have made it a habit to resort to
insinuations against the USSR
every time there is an outburst of
racist terror in the United States."
Comparing the lot - of Jews in the
USSR with Negroes in the United
States, Tass asked:. "Are they (the
Jews). attacked by police dogs (in
Russia)" . are the Negroes of
Texas or Alabama? Are they (the
Jews) being lynched?"
Attempting to answer charges
that Russian Jews are singled out
and _harshly punished for alleged
"economic crime s," Tass said:
"Some people who are sentenced,
by Soviet courts from time to time
for different crimes are Jews. It
is common knowledge that crim-
inals in any multinational state
may , be of different nationalities.
They may include Jews, too. The
same happens in the United States.
Tass insisted that the Soviet
Union was among the few coun-
tries without the "so-called Jewish
problem," adding that Jews were
granted absolutely equal rights
with other citizens after the 1917
Soviet revolution. The statement
declared that, while Jews repre-
1
sented only 1.08 per cent of the teehnology this year. It also said

ners of Lenin prizes in science and were Jewish.
