DP bill denounced as discriminatory by Harrison
Earl G. Harrison, chairing the Citizens Committee on Displaced Persons, denounces the Senate DP bill as designed to exclude displaced persons. He cites religious, national, and occupational discrimination, and objects to quotas favoring Baltic Protestants and German ethnic origin. He urges House Republicans to block what he calls a monstrosity. Harrison notes the bill would bar most Jewish DPs and would force employers to hire far from home or not at all. His committee includes prominent figures like Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and James A. Farley.
