Mr. Chairman. in view of the expressed sentiment in favor of restriction of immigration. I sincerely hope that sentiment is not based in any way on the fact that the present Connecticut delegation is made up of KENNEDY. DONOVAN. LoNERGAN. MAHAN. and REILLY. I am opposed to this bill principally because of the Illiteracy test. In the name of 35.000 citizens of Italian birth or parentage. in the Dame of 10.000 people of Polish birth or parentage. in the name of 10.000 people of Frenchlanadian birth or parentage. in the name of 10.000 people of Jewish birth or parentage. in the name of 50.000 people of German birth or parentage.
