A bill to suspend all immigration to the United States for a period of five years was introduced into the Senate by Senator Balck of Alabama who declared his intention of proposing this measure as a substitute amendment to any bill to repeal the national origins clause of the immigration act which would come before the Senate.
Senator Black declared himself strongly in favor of the national origins clause and indicated he would vigorously support it, as the next best thing if his own bill was lost.
Congressman Cable of Ohio introduced a bill into the House to investigate propaganda to influence immigration legilslation. This bill was referred to the Rules Committee in view of the fact that the House Immigration Committee is not yet functioning during the present extra session of Congress.
