(Jewish Daily Bulletin)

The House Immigration Committee decided by a majority vote to grant legalization privileges only to unlawfully entered aliens who entered the United States prior to 1921 instead of 1924 as originally decided.

A strong effort is still being made to enforce the English reading and writing test for naturalization. Both Congressmen Dickstein and Sabath are conducting a fight against these attempted restrictions.

The votes that have been taken up to now are only temporary because only parts of the bill were voted on. The permanent vote will take place on the entire Bill.
