Way Opened For Refugees To Enter US
Washington reports that 205000 European refugees can enter the United States under a new immigration law signed by President Truman with strong objections. The measure limits entrants to those who fled to Germany, Austria and Italy between 1939 and 1945 and imposes strict job, home, loyalty, and character tests. It heavily targets Jewish and Catholic displaced persons and reserves large regional quotas, including caps for Lithuania Latvia Estonia and eastern Poland, with potential future quota reductions for affected nations.

Guard halts recruitment as draft law slows enlistments
Harrisburg June 26 The Pennsylvania National Guard paused its draft accelerated recruiting at the request of Army Secretary Royall. He said congressional leaders will not fund extra guard pay beyond the regular budget. Recruitment will resume once strengths align with quotas. The pause comes after a rush by youths to avoid conscription under the new law, which mandates 21 months of training for men 19 to 26 starting September 22. The Military Affairs Department cites budget limits to prevent over quotas. Meanwhile Selective Service readiness is strong, with state director Col. Henry M. Grossa saying no orders have come from Washington since the draft law was signed. Pennsylvania’s draft boards have been consolidated from wartime numbers, with 432 boards contributing personnel to new operations. About 750,000 men will be registered in the state, with an estimated 30,000 to be inducted the first year.
