The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration charged the Eisenhower Administration with failure to clarify its position on the fundamental immigration and naturalization policies today as Congress drives towards adjournment.

Senator Harley M. Kilgore said that he had written to the Secretary of State and the President requesting their appearance before his subcommittee, but as yet no definite word as to the time Administrative spokesmen could testify has been received. The subcommittee chairman said that in spite of some broad statements on the McCarran-Walter Act, “there has not been a single positive recommendation” to the Congress by the Eisenhower Administration. The Senator explained that the President’s May 27th recommendations referred solely to the Refugee Relief Act.
