Quota System Killed In
Senate Immigration Bill
WASHINGTON' (NC) — A
40-year campaign to libera
lize the nation’s immigration
laws was capped with victory
here when the Senate by a 76
to 18 vote passed legislation
which will abolish the long
critized national origins quo
ta system.
John E. McCarthy, direc
tor of the Immigration De
partment, National Catholic
Welfare Conference, saluting
the Senate action (Sept. 22),
asserted: “The death knell
to discrimination in our im
migration process now has
been sounded.’’
But the battle by liberal
forces will continue. The Se
nate bill contains a precedent-
shattering provision which
fixes for the first time a ceil
ing of 120,000 immigrants a
year, exclusive of spouses,
parents and children of U.S.
citizens from Latin America
and Canada, beginning July 1,
1968. Such a provision was

kept out of the bill which the
House passed on August 25.
The liberal legislators have
hope of knocking out the pro
vision in the Senate-House
conferences to reconcile the
differences between the two
measures.
The chief feature of both
bills is abolition of the nation
al origins quota system and
the beginning of a “first come,
first served’’ policy by July
1, 1968. The national origins
quota system used the 1920
U. S. census to determine the
number of immigrants to be
admitted to this country each
year. It long has been cri
ticized as favoring immi
grants from northern and wes
tern Europe, while discrimi
nating against the rest of the
world.
Over the years, Catholic
and other religious leaders
have been in the forefront of
the effort to obtain more equi
table U. S. immigration laws.
Leaders in the fight have in
cluded Bruce M. Mohler and
his successor, John E. Mc
Carthy, as director of the
NCWC Immigration Depart
ment; Joseph Cardinal Rit
ter of St. Louis, RichardCar-
dinal Cushing of Boston, Bis
hop Edward E, Swanstrom,
executive director of Catholic
Relief Services—NCWC in
New York, and Msgr. John
O’Grady, retired secretary of
the National Conference of
Catholic Charities.
Chief features of the Se
nate and House approved bills
provide;
A ceiling of 170,000 admis
sions a year, exclusive of pa
rents, spouses and children of
U. S. citizens, from countries
outside of the Western Hemis
phere.
A ceiling of 20,000 admis
sions a year from any one
country.
Priorities for unmarried
children of U. S. citizens;
spouses and unmarried child
ren of permanent resident
aliens; professionals and
others with skills in art and
sciences; married sons and
daughters of U. S. citizens;
brothers and sisters of U.S.
citizens; workers whose skills
are needed in this country,
and refugees.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of
Massachusetts was the floor
manager of the measure in
the Senate--carrying on the
efforts undertaken by his bro
ther, assassinated President
John F. Kennedy, when he
campaigned in the House, in
the Senate and in the presi
dency for liberal immigra
tion laws.

GEORGIA CASES MCLEDED
Familiar Problems Face
High Court In New Term
WASHINGTON—The U. S.
Supreme Court begins its new
term Oct. 4 with a new face,
some new procedures—-and a
lot of old familiar problems.
Among the issues con
fronting the court as its 1965-
66 term gets underway are
obscenity and free speech and
the myriad complexities of
civil rights, including poll
taxes and de facto school se
gregation.
The new face on the bench
is that of Abe Fortas, named
to succeed U. S. ambassador
to the United Nations Arthur
Goldberg.
Fortas, a close associate of
President Johnson and a ve
teran New Dealer, is expected
to align himself with the high
court’s “liberal” majority.
Such tags as “liberal” and
“conservative,” however, are
often misleading when applied
to Supreme Court justices,
who generally resist type
casting.
The new procedures will fo
cus on the court’s method of
announcing its rulings. Up
until last spring, the court
traditionally saved all these
for its so-called “Decision
Mondays.”
From now on, however, the
court will announce opinions
and orders when they are
ready on any day on which it
is sitting. It experimented with
this procedure for a week in
the spring.
The new procedure is re
garded as a concession to the
needs of newsmen who have
complained in the past that
being deluged in a single day
with hundreds of pages of
complex legal argumentation
on crucial issues was not ex
actly conducive to good re
porting.
Nearly 10 cases involving
the problem of obscenity and
free speech are already on the
docket awaiting the court. Of
these, two are of special in
terest and could result in a
major court ruling on this
always difficult subject.
Last April 5 the court
agreed to consider the con
victions of Ralph Ginzburg,
publisher of Eros Magazine,
and Edward Mishkin, who has
been described as a “kingpin”
of the pornography trade.
Central issue in both cases
is what is legally obscene.
Back in 1957 the Supreme
Court gave this test of ob
scenity: “Whether to the aver
age person applying contem
porary community standards,
the dominant theme of the
material taken as a whole
appeals to prurient interest.”
Almost every phrase of the
“test”, however, has caused
violent argument and inspired
further litigation. The Ginz
burg and Mishkin cases pro
vide the court with the op
portunity of clarifying further
what it understands to be le
gally obscene.
In another case in this area,
the publishing firm of G. P.
Putnam’s and Sons is appeal
ing a ruling by the Massa
chusetts Supreme Court bar
ring the sale of JohnCleland’s
18th-century novel “Fanny
Hill.”
Massachusetts courts have
held that the book is patently
offensive and that its dominant
appeal is to prurient interest.
But Putnam’s maintains that it
is protected by the First
Amendment’s free speech and
free press guarantees.
Many civil rights cases are
awaiting the justices’ atten
tion.
Among the most explosive
are government appeals from
the dismissal of most federal
charges in the killing of three
civil rights workers in Phila
delphia, Miss., and Negro Le
muel Penn in Georgia. The
court has agreed to hear both
cases.
Other civil rights cases in
volve a group of Negroes con
victed of disturbing the peace
for refusing to leave a public
library in Louisiana, and the
action of the city of Macon,
Ga., in turning over to pri
vate trustees a pat* left in
trust to the city with the sti
pulation that it be used for
“white women” and “white
children.”
From Maryland comes the
case of a Negro who claims
discrimination by sellers who
reneged on a contract to sell
him a house in an all-white
housing project. And from
Georgia comes the appeal of
a restaurant operator, char
ged with civil contempt for re
fusing to serve Negroes in vio
lation of the 1964 Civil Rights
Act, who raises the issues
of freedom of association and
involuntary servitude.
One of the familiar church-
state issues of recent years—
Sunday sales—is before the
court in an appeal by a New
York chain drug store which
claims discriminatory en
forcement of the sabbath laws
in a suit originated by com
petitors.
Registration provisions of
the Subversive Activities Con
trol Act are at issue in an
appeal by members of the
Communist party facing pro
secution for refusing to re
gister with the Subversive Ac
tivities Control Board. They
claim violation of their Fifth
Amendment privilege against
self-incrimination.
The issues facing the Su
preme Court as it begins its
new term may thus be rou
tine in certain respects, but
they are far from dull.

PAPAL THRONE — One hundred and fifteen years
old, this chair will serve as a papal throne when
Pope Paul VI visits Francis Cardinal Spellman,
Archbishop of New York. It was built in 1850 at
the request of the archdiocese’s first Prince of the
Church, John Cardinal McClosky. It is the custom
for each cardinal to have a papal throne ready for
a visit of the Pope. Normally, the chair faces the
wall, but in this instance was turned around for the
benefit of photographers. (R.N.S. Photo)
ON SOCIAL ACTION
“Too Much Apathy”
Charged To Laymen
PHILADELPHIA (NC)—A
veteran social worker praised
the work of clergy and Reli
gious in social action, but de
cried the lack of social con
sciousness in laymen.
Randolph E. Wise, Public
Welfare Commissioner of
Philadelphia, told the 51st an
nual meeting of the National
Conference of Catholic Cha
rities (Sept. 27) that the his
tory of social action has so
far “been largely identified
with great bishops and priests
and enlightened Religious,
both men and women.”
The public administration
of Philadelphia, he said, “ac
knowledges with profound gra
titude and respect the great
contribution the sectarian a-
gencies, and especially the
Catholic Social Service of the
archdiocese, are making to the
social welfare development of
this community.”
City officials know, he ad
ded, “of the excellence of di
rection and administration at
the apex, of devoted, skilled
professionalism at the lat-
terals, and of consummated
dedication on the part of lay
personnel and volunteers at
the base.”
But there is still “too much
apathy , too much misunder
standing, too little enthusiam”
among laymen, he said.
“I am constantly told by my
many friends in the teaching
profession that among the
young people in our schools
today there is a distressing
lack of social consciousness.
One friend of mine who last
year was attempting to convey
to his senior high school class
the message of Pope John
XXIII’s encyclical, Pacem in
Terris, was deeply dismayed
by the vocal opposition of sev
eral of the students to many
of the principles enunciated
by the Pope—especially since,
as he said, the opposition came
from among some of his
brightest students.
“The experience of other
teachers who attempt to teach
their Catholic students about
the Church’s position on racial
justice is equally discou
raging.”

Wise continued: “When we
speak to our young people
about the problem of hunger
in the world today, they are
apt to equate it with the heal
thy hunger they feel between
the milk shake at three in the
afternoon and the ample dinner
they have at six. This is per
haps to be expected of young
people who have more money
to spend on their senior proms
than their fathers could afford
to expend on their honey
moons; but it does empha
size that one of the really
vital challenges. . .is the need
to develop programs. . .to
arouse the dormant enthusi
asm and idealism of the
young.”
What is needed, he added,
is a “dissatisfied awakening”
in the United States, “where,
despite fantastic affluence,
grinding poverty still blights
the lives of millions of our
people; where, in spite of al
most idolatrous worship of ed
ucation, millions are still
handicapped for life by sub
standard schools and teach
ing; where crime and fear
and ignorance (that unholy and
interrelated trinity) give the
hollow ring of mockery to all
our boasts of progress.”
He urged social workers to
“think small—to think in
terms of individual human
persons, individual souls
made in God’s image. Cer
tainly Our Divine Lord Him
self ‘thought small’ in terms
of social work in giving us
the most important maxim
the social worker could ever
follow: ‘Whatever you do to
the least of my brethren, you
do to me.’ ”
Some 1,400 delegates repre
senting 1,100 Catholic agen
cies and institutions from 125
dioceses participated in the
five-day meeting here.
