(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The House Immigration Committee yesterday adopted an amendment offered by Congressman Dickstein to admit, outside of the quota, children between eighteen and twenty-one of American citizens. This was an amendment to Senator Copeland’s bill passed by the Senate at its last session to exempt from the quota the husbands of American women citizens, which was discussed at yesterday’s meeting of the Immigration Committee. The Committee adopted this amendment by a vote of nine to three.
Congressman Dickstein stated he will offer Senator Wadsworth’s bill to admit thirty-five thousand wives and children of declarants, as another amendment to the Copeland bill.
The Committee discussed the National Origins Plan. It is understood the House Committee may ask the Departmental Committee which compiled the new quotas to appear before it.
