Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Mississippi has spoken with his usual lack of information and has stated that the refugees seeking entrance into this country are in the main Communists. He probably has failed to read the exact facts. If he had. he would find that there were 800.000 of those persons. 500.000 of whom are Catholics. 200.000 are Jews. and 100.000 Protestants. They are Baits. Poles. and Slavs. These Slavs. for example. are fleeing from the Tito regime. If they would return. they would be purged. The Jews refuse to be repatriated. They want no part of the communism that permeates Russia.
