When the adoption of this amend ment became known here this after noon it caused the utmost surprise Its acceptance by Congress would pre vent the United States becoming haven for political refugees. The amendment debars from the United States all persons believing in the destruction of property or be longing to revolutionary organi/u lions. It is the most sweeping ever proposed by a committee of either house Representative James Manahan, of Minnesota, Progressive Republican, led the tight against the amendment. Representative A. I*. Gardner, recent ly a Re[>ubllean candidate for Gov ernor of Massachusetts, is reported to have voted for It, along with the Democratic majority. Representative Burnett, of Alabama, is chairman of the committee. This attempt to abolish the tradi tional "right of asylum" for political radicals fleeing from foreign lands to the United State* is expected t«» arouse instant protest throughout the <*ountry.
