stem Change
WASHINGTON TP-A bill that would make far-reaching changes
in United States immigration laws was overwhelmingly (approved
yesterday by the House Judiciary Committee.
By a 26-4 margin, the committee voted to wipe out the 40-year-
old national origins quota system and set new standards of prefer-
ences that would benefit close relatives of U,S. citizens.
The effect of the bill would be to authorize total annual immi-
gration into the United States of about 340,000-50,000 more than
are presently coming in each year.
Rep. Michael A. Feighan D-Ohio), chairman of the subcommit-

Indictment

Rights Action
By The Associated Press
AMERICUS, Ga.- Two
Negroes were indicted yesterday
on first degree murder charges in
the gun slaying of a white youth.
The indictments came as more
civil rights workers arrived in
splite of a plea from Gov. Carl
Sanders to stop importing demon-
strators as the city became more
and more explosive.
The 23-man jury, which includ-
ed one Negro, took five hours and
45 minutes to reach its decision.
It heard several witnesses.
The governor meanwhile, told
Negro leaders: "I ask that leaders
of the so-called civil rights groups

outsiders to stir up emotions and
perhaps cause more violence."
port and said he is confident it
will pass the House.
Senate
Enactment this year depends
on the Senate, where a subcom-
mittee is considering similar leg-
islation.
The late President John F. Ken-
nedy urged Congress to elimin-
ate the national origins quota sys-
tem in 1961, and President Lyn-
don B. Johnson renewed the plea
this year.
White House Press Secretary
Bill D. Moyers said the House
committee's action is regarded by
Johnson as monumental, "as one
of the most important break-
throughs in this administration."
Backlog
Under the old system, nations
outside the Western Hemisphere
are assigned quotas reflecting the
makeup of the U.S. population in
1920. England, Germany and Ire-
land get the bulk of the 158,000
quota numbers made available
each year, and generally use less
than half of them. There are
no restrictions on immigration
from the Western Hemisphere.
