C. DER MR. CHAIRMAN: I am opposed to IncreaSlXg the number of displaced persons to be permitted to enter our country. or to increasing the immigration quotas. We are now in a recession and a depression. mild or severe. is going to strike us sooner or later. High school graduates are roaming the streets and loafing about. unable to get jobs. These youngsters want jobs. they want spending money. they dont like this additional competition from the displaced persons and otilr immigrants who are entering our country. Little wonder juvenile delinquency has. become a national problem. Young veterans getting married. unable to find suitable living quarters are compelled to live in cellar rooms or to double up with relativesnot a very encouraging way to start life. Displaced persons and other immigrants compete with our veterans for housing accommodations. Lets stop this additional competition that is facing our young generation and our young veterans. Let us begin to do a little thinking for Americans first. not in the old isolationist sense. but with a thought to preserving our institutions. Our disgruntled and disappointed younger generation could turn into ripe material for extreme radical or Communist propaganda. May I request your consideration of my views in dealing with legislation pertaining to displaced persons and relaxation of immigration quotas. Respectfully yours. Lco S.
