. ALIENTMPORTATION PRI A—6 -~ BILL DEFEAT URGED Dies Measure Hit as Gwmg; Dictatorial Powers to | Labor Secretary. To the Editor of The Evening Star. The Associated Press on May 3 re- ported a release of the Department of Labor by Commissioner of Immi- gration Shaughnessy, urging public support for the thirteenth ‘revised” Kerr-Coolidge bill introduced April 14 by Representative Martin Dies of Texas, who led the successful fight in the House June 15, 1934, against this proposed legislation to substi- tute an alien administration or gov- ernment of persons for the existing administration and government by definite written laws in most alien deportation and immigration restric- tion matters. This new Dies-Kerr-Coolidge bill, now sponsored by Representative Dies, was reported by the House Committee on Immigration the forenoon of the | day after it was introduced, and be- fore printed copies were available to the public. No hearings have been held on it. Hearings were not possible owing to the hot haste with | which it was reported. To be sure, hearings have been | held on 3 of the 12 previous dmru' of this un-American legislative pro- posal to make the Secretary of Labor and commissioner of immigration au- tocrats in “allowing to remain in the United States certain alien lawbreak- | ers that she or he “find” of “good | character,” etc. Authority Long Sought. This dictatorial administrative au- | thority and excessive royalistic power‘ has been sought by the present Sec- retary of Labor ever since she took the oath to “faithfully execute the | laws” of the United States four years ago. It has not only been sought intensely and extensively, even by paid propagandists, but this really leg- islative autocratic power has been | already usurped by her. Without any | express legislative authority, as shown | by her seeking it, she has “stayed” the deportations of thousands of alien | lawbreakers, and even forgers, dope pedders, a killer, prostitues and the ' like, On the 16th of last February three members of the House Subcomm\[lee“ on Appropriations asked pointed and | eritical questions when Department | of Labor officials were before the subcommittee seeking increased items in the department’s part of the ap- propriation bill, and finally the Sec- | retary's designated spokesman, Acting Commissioner of Immigration Shaugh- | nessy, in whose name the above press release is put out, finally admitted “that if the Congress does not take some action this year, during the present session, all these (stayed) cases will be disposed of in accord- ance with law.” Here is a clean-cut, clear admis- sion that over 3,000 alien lawbreakers have not been deported during the | last four years, as the laws of the | United States direct. Does Fix Limit. It is true that this new Dies-Kerr- | Coolidge alien importation bill, now in- | troduced by Representative Dies * *+ + | does fix a limit on the number of alien lawbreakers the Secretary of‘ Labor is empowered “to allow to re- main in the United States,” but that | very limitation impeaches and refutes the allegations of the proponents of the | bill, such as the International Migra- | tion Service, Inc., with headquarters in Europe, the Civil Liberties Union and other Communist defenders and | “frontal” Communist incorporations in our country * * * Congress can be depended upon in | the future, as in the past, to gm.m’ relief in really meritorious cases, the department and the alien will only | 5l present the facts to Congress. Con- gress should retain control of our im- | migration and deportation policies and should not delegate any such auto- cratic discretions as the Dies-Kerr- Coolidge bill contains, to not enforce the law against certain lawbreakers the Becretary “thinks” of “good char- acter’ and who have “fcund” here & apouse or some other near rela- | tive. Repeatedly and convincingly Representative Dies has pointed this out, and his sudden change is amaz- ing. Covers Wide Scope. The Dies-Kerr-Coolidge bill would | also confer autocratic discretions to legalize all illegal alien entries between | 1921 and 1924, | Phe Dies-Kerr-Coolidge alien Xm-; portation bill should be defeated. The | fact it proposes to deport only Alienx who smuggle in aliens “for gain” and | only State law narcotic convicts “who are not addicts” and the like, shows | that these alleged “deportation law | 'Did I trust to lnck?-nm on your life!” says Raymond E.

B e R —— fa) THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 9, CATHEDRAL WORK WILL BE PUSHED New Campaign of Construc- tion Will Be Launched in Near Future. BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. A new campaign of construction soon will be launched at Washington Cathedral. This became known fol- {lowing the installation of the Very Rev. Noble Cilley Powell as dean on Thursday. Previously, it had been suggested by Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, in an address to the annual meeting of the National Cathedral Association. The diocesan head told the assembly: 52 “Things shortly are going to begin to happen again on Mount St. Alban.” One part of the new program cen- ters in the building of the so-called woman’s porch, for which Mrs. Wil- llam Proctor of Cincinnati recently gave $25000. This work aiready has been designed by Frohman, Robb & Little, Cathedral architects, and stone for it is being fabricated and pre- pared by the George A. Fuller Co, contractors, at the firm’s plant at Bethesda. Rising at the end of the north transept, the structure will con- stitute a magnificent covered entrance to that side of the building. Partitions to Be Changed. But long before the porch is finished the existing partitions in the church are to be rearranged so that the entire crossing, now structurally intact, will be avallable for use—a change which will accommodate chairs for 1,650 ad- ditional worshippers. Meanwhile, the whole foundation structure of the Cathedral has been protected by waterproofing covering, the smybolic bosses of the crossing are being carved, the rood beam be- tween the Great Choir and the nave has been given by an anonymous donor, plans are being perfected for the choir screen and for the installa- tion of the Canterbury ambon and the Mackay-Smith memorial lectern, & beautiful stained glass window, cele- brating the career of the prophet Dan- iel has been put in place, and the central panel, showing Christ in glory, is being executed for the reredos by Angelo Lewaldi at Cambridge, Mass, Organ Being Constructed. Also, the great organ, long antici- pated for the Cathedral, now is being constructed at Methuen, Mass., by Ernest Skinner & Son Co, Inc. It is hoped that it may be erected and dedicated before the end of the pres- ent year. Still another project is the choir stalls, including 56 for the clergy, de- signed to be raised in the Great Choir at a cost estimated at approximately $200,000. Referring to them yester- day, Edwin N. Lewis, executive secre- tary of the National Cathedral Asso- 1937—PART ONE. ciation, said: “Together they repre- sent probably the largest wood-carv- ing enterprise of their kind ever un- dertaken in the United States.” Bishop Freeman will remain in close touch with activity at Mount St. Alban throughout the Summer. He has been invited to go to France to dedicate several American Expeditionary Force cemeteries, but will be absent only a few weeks. et W COACH TO SPEAK HERE Ossie Solem, now foot ball coach at Syracuse University, and Charles J. Lee, jr, fleld secretary of the school, will be speakers at an alumni banquet to be held at the Dodge Ho- tel at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
