Law Urged to Ease President Work and Immigration Rules
The Justice Department plans to urge Congress next month to ease the President’s workload by cutting routine signature requirements and to seek drastic changes in the McCarran Walter Immigration Act. Officials cite a single document approach used for Christmas clemencies and urge broader administrative discretion to speed deportations and handle hardship cases. They also note proposed reforms would reduce delays from duplicative court actions while revising quota bases tied to 1921 origins.

Ex Army Chief J Lawton Collins accused of shorting Army air support
Former Army chief J Lawton Collins faced charges from retired Lt Gen Edward Almond that he sold the Army short by tying air power to a tonnage limit in the Key West agreement. Almond argued the Air Force dominates doctrine and limits Army ground support capabilities in Korea era operations.
