Washington—Although immigration legislation pends continuously in the Congress, our national policy on the admission of aliens has not been a major active controversy for some years.
The present basic immigration lavy. the Walter McCarran Act, was enacted in 1952.
In vetoing that act, President Truman urged a much more liberal policy which would drop the “national origins” formula and permit a share increase in immigration from southern and eastern Europe and from Asia. In addition, Mr. Truman urged Congress to supplement the annual immigration quota of approximately 150. <XH) aliens by admitting 300,000 additional persons over a three-year period. The Congress, however, rejected Mr. Truman's recommendations by passing the Walter-Mc Carran Act over his veto, and it remains the basic immigration statute.
