Mr. Speaker. I am opposed to the Presidents order transferring the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization to the Department of Justice. I am opposed to this order on the following grounds: First. It will cover up and protect Mine. Perkins mismanagement of this Bureau and the fact that she has coddled. sympathized with. and protected these socalled "fifthcolumn agents" that the President is becoming worried about. Second. The results desired by the President can be much more quickly and effectively secured by demanding the resignation of Mine. Perkins and appointing a competent administrator in her place. Third. The transfer would disrupt and throw into turmoil some 3.000 welltrained highgrade employees of the Bureau by dumping them willynilly into a new Department not organized for that particular work at a time when we need and must have effective action.
