A joint resolution introduced into the Senate Friday by Senator Nye of North Dakota, whose previous resolution to postpone for another year the National Origins provision of the 1924 Immigration act was rejected by the Senate Immigration Committee, to the same effect was tabled by the Senate Friday afternoon.
Simultaneously it was learned at the White House that President Coolidge has ordered a new inquiry to be made to determine the workability of the National Origins plan. The basis for the new quotas, formerly outlined, were considered unsatisfactory. The result of the new inquiry will not be available before President-elect Hoover takes office.
It was further declared that Mr. Hoover, whose opposition to the National Origins plan was stressed by Senator Nye, will take up the matter upon his return to Washington and look into the question whether it is mandatory upon him to issue the proclamation on April 1, putting the National Origins plan into effect on July 1.
Several thousand persons, representative not only of the Jewish, but of the civic, official and philanthropic circles in St. Louis, Mo., attended the dedication of the new Jewish Orphans’ Home.

The invocation was said by Rabbi Adolph E. Rosenstreter and the benediction by Rabbi S. Kliebansky.
