Insists Upon Limitation in
Number Coming in With
Boy Scouts.
By the Associated Press.
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
of Texas, doesn’t mind a few Boy
Scouts coming into the United States
for next month’s national jamboree,
but he doesn’t want them to bring the
Whole family with them.
Hence he stood his ground yesterday
against the proposal of Chairman
Dickstein, Democrat, of New York, of
the Immigration Committee to have
visa fees waived for foreign partici
pants in the Washington celebration
until some provision is made limiting
the number who may slip In.
$800,000 Not Mentioned.
Rather out of character, too, Blanton
hasn’t said a word about the $800,000
—on the basis of his own figures—that
Uncle Sam would lose by such a gener
ous move. Blanton's usual objection
to the bills is that they will co6t
money.
Blanton caused some consternation
In the House Friday by interrupting
the reading of the Dickstein resolu
tion with “that is far enough.”
Dickstein’s plea was that the bill
contain ample assurance that the
■‘participants, officials, and other ac
credited members of delegations * • •
and members of the immediate families
of the foregoing” would be required to
return to their fatherlands after the
jamboree.
Fears 100,000 Might Cotne In.
The newspapers wrote stories about
It. So Blanton came back yesterday
with a formal statement making it
clear he had “distinctly stated" that
he “did not object to them (the
Scouts) coming,” but to the others
“under which at least 100,000 foreign
ers might come into the United
States."
The Labor Department wants the
bill, and right away, but Dickstein
probably will have to put In a para
graph or two anent the homeward trip
before it gets by Blanton.
