President Hoover yesterday signed the amended Dickstein bill granting exemption from the quota to husbands of American citizens married prior to July 1, 1932, and it automatically became a law.
The measure does not lift the requirements calling for legal proof of marriage and the financial status of the wives. In each case the consuls must be satisfied that the marriage is legal and that the husband will not become a public charge before visas can be obtained.
