In a shift urged by immigration officials in Washington and here, the McCarran-Wartime immigration act questions for foreign seamen are reduced from about 64 to four or three. The remaining inquiries cover Communist Party membership disease and criminal history. First time U S arrival exams will be longer than habitual port visits, says Edward J Shaughnessy district director of immigration and naturalization. Hundreds of seamen objected to the questions and were kept aboard their vessels.
