A bill to admit as non-quota immigrants professors under contract with American educational institutions, irrespective of whether or not they have been serving abroad as professors, was referred by the Immigrant Committee to a sub-committee at its meeting yesterday. Under the present law, the non-quota staus is applied only to those professors under contract who have served as professors abroad for two years prior to their application for entry to the United States. The sub-committee is composed of Congressmen Vincent, Rutherford and Bachmann.
A bill to issue certificates of arrival, so that naturalization may be secured by aliens who entered the United States law-fully but regarding whose entry there is no official record, was also discussed. The matter will be taken up further at the Committee’s next meeting on Saturday morning.
