The gentleman has referred to me three times in his statement. and indicates he is going to place in the RECORD something I had to say on the floor of the House. The gentleman also endeavors to indicate that he did not say he was in favor of deporting someone. The gentleman and I could discuss this particular question many hours. but it has nothing to do with the bill we are discussing today. The words "then they will be sent back in due course" worried me. but I am very glad. however. that the gentleman is going to put something in the RECORD which would indicate that he himself is not in favor of deporting this handful of Czechs who were allowed by our Government to come here originally. 52 of whom have been deprived of the work of instruction or whatever administrative work they were doing in this shoe factory in Maryland. I am merely interested that this handful of Czechs be given the same consideration that is being given today to 14.000 or more alien refugees who are in this country. some of whom. I believe are taking jobs away from Americans. especially since these 52 Czechs have made it possible for about a thousand Americans to have jobs.
