Chairman Francis Walter of the House Immigration Subcommittee said today he plans no hearings on President Eisenhower’s proposed changes in the immigration law changes until the Senate has made a substantial start on them.

In the Senate, bills to carry out President Eisenhower’s ideas have been introduced by Sen. Watkins. Chairman Harley M. Kilgore of the Judiciary Committee has said he plans early hearings on them. However, no dates have yet been set Rep. Walter, an outspoken critic of any revision of the McCarran-Walter Act, said unsolicited mail opposing hearings is piling up in his files.
