Fourteen Senators yesterday petitioned the Senate to force the House-approved DP immigration bill out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where committee chairman Sen. Pat McCarran has bottled it up.
The petition was introduced by Sen. Scott W. Lucas, Senate Majority leader, and was signed by seven Democrats and seven Republicans, making it a joint undertaking. The 14 Senators are: Lucas, Warren G. Magnuson, Washington; Brien MacMahon, Connecticut; Francis J. Myers, Pennsylvania; Paul H. Douglas, Illinois; Matthew M. Neely, West Virginia; Frank Graham, North Carolina; Robert A. Taft, Ohio; Homer Ferguson, Michigan; H. Alexander Smith, Now Jersey; Wayne Morse, Oregon; Leverett Saltonstall, Massachusetts, Irving M. Ives, New York; and John Foster Dulles, New York.
