Senate OKs displaced Europeans admission bill
The Senate passed a bill to admit 205000 displaced Europeans over two years, sending it to the White House. Critics like Senator Ferguson say the measure is unworkable and discriminatory because it limits eligibility to those homeless before December 22, 1945, risking exclusion of Jews and Catholics. Senator Revercomb defends no conscious bias.
