Senate Expected To Approve Shift 0f Alien Control Liberals Protest ‘Police Regime’ Over 4,000,000 in U. S. The Senate was expected to approve transfer of the Immigration ‘Service from the Labor to the Justice Department today despite opposition of some liberal Senators and the American Civil Liberties Union. . In a letter to President Roosevelt, the union charged that the proposed shift might result in a “virtual police regime” over the country’s alien ' ipopulation, estimated at 4,000,000. Senators Norris, Independent, of Nebraska and Wheeler, Democrat, .of Montana led opposition in the ‘Senate to the House-approved reso- lution for putting the transfer into effect in 10 days. Both acknowledged . :that their views were not shared by .the majority of Congress. Proposed to Speed Action. President Roosevelt proposed “transfer of the Immigration Service on the ground that it would enable the Government to “deal quickly” with subversive elements. Senator Norris, who has expressed fear that J. Edgar Hoover and his Federal Bureau of Investigation might obtain control of the service, told the Senate that “Hoover will operate upon thousands and thou- sands of helpless people.” Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of * South Carolina, supporting the pro- -posal to put the plan into effect, asserted that Attorney General Jackson had advised him the service would be under the Solicitor Gen- eral’s office. “That makes it worse,” cried Sen- ator Wheeler, who argued that the - Bolicitor General's work was entirely :dissimilar from that of the Im- .igration Service, Sees Danger to Democracy. ._ Senator Wheeler said that Justice :Department agents “have gone ‘through the offices of every liberal Senator.” “They have a file on me,” he added, “and one on the'senior Sen- tor from Wisconsin (La Follette).” * Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat. ‘of Washington said the Nation .should have “some recognition of ‘the danger involved in going wild -on the subject of aliens.” “This isn't the time to became “panicky,” he added. “It won’t do any good to defend democracy against a :“fifth column’ if by doing so you -destroy democracy itself.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
