‘ALIEN SCARF IS MINIMIZED More ‘Humane’ Regulations In Deportations Are Urged By Chief Characterizing the estimate that there are 3300.000 aliens in the United States illegally as a gross tsaggeration. Col. D. W. MacCcr mack, commissioner of immigration and naturalization, is urging changes in the American immigra tion laws which he says are bar barous and un-American. He estimates that there are less than 100,000 aliens in the United States illegally and subject to de portation. The actual number of aliens in the United States legally Is 4,022,000. according to his rec ords, and about 1300.000 of these have directly or through their par ents applied for naturaligatlon. The official advocates changes In the immigration laws which would prevent separating of families. Such • a hill is being offered by Represen tative Kerr of North Carolina and Senator Coolidge of Massachusetts. This bill, according to Commission er MacCormack, closes up loopholes in the present law through which the alien criminal escapes, strength ens the hands of the Immigration Service in seizing and deporting the alien who enters illegally, and prevents some of the “incredibly cruel" family separations which are Inevitable under the present laws. “Upon the success of this bill de pends the fate of 2.600 aliens of good character whose deportation has been stayed in the past two years—Infinitely more important— the fate of the families in this country. If the law is not changed these people must be deported Thev will leave behind them more than 7,000 members of their imme diate families. Including over 5,000 wives and children, and for the most part American citizens. I am not a sentimentalist, but I have an unconquerable faith in the human ity and Justice of our congress and of our people and I cannot bring myself to believe that they will permit this unjust and inhuman mass deportation to come to pass, Commissioner MacCormack stated in a radio address at Washington Saturday. The commissioner asserts that the "alien scare has been grossly exag gerated and that “there is no real ity in the efforts to paint the alien in this country as a menace tc our form of government, to our jobs, and to our standards of living. The fig ures so often cited are fantastic exaggerations. Nc scintilla of proof has ever or ever can be advanced in their support.” BRIDE-WIDOW (Continued from Page One) from Cleveland by airplane after the funeral of her husband, was led into a room where Zenge, her former suitor, sat manacled, un shaven and half asleep. The couple sat as the clock struck midnight. They conversed briefly, in monosyllables of trivialities. The name of Dr. Bauer, former Cofessor of a college in Kirksville. o.. the husband who left his bride a few hours after they were mar ried to take a post graduate course at the University of Michigan was not mentioned. ‘Don't Remember* Mrs Bauer told Dougherty. “I kvow him so well I just can’t be lieve he could do a thing like this, but. the circumstances certainly point toward him " She also said. “I didn't ask him about the slaying because I knew the officers hadn't been told any thing and I didn't think he'd tell It to me ” The police Investigators hoped that as a result of this meeting between the widow and the man she jilted to marry Dr. Bauer. Zenge might be willing to answer questions which previously he has parried with “I dont remember and “I won't talk until I get an attorney.” WORK BEGINS (Continued From Page One) ing made to construct the other facilities that will be built for the handling of olL BI-WEEKLY SAILINGS SOUGHT FOR ISABEL Efforts to arrange regular bi weekly sailings of boats of the Lykes-Coastwise Line out of Port Isabel are being made now by Lal lier & Hanson of Brownsville and Port Isabel, agents for the line.
