The provisions of subsection (a) of this sectionWhich subsection makes a person ineligible if he has been a member or supporter in the preceding 10 yearsshall not apply to any person who shall be a member of any organization described therein at the time such organization is designated as Communist. totalitarian FascistAnd so forthI will leave that long category outshall not apply to any person * * who shall. within 3 months from the time of the promulgation of such designation in the Federal Register. pursuant to subsection (e) of this section. renounce. withdraw from. and utterly abandon such membership. and who thereafter ceases entirely to be affiliated with such organization. It gives the person a chance to purge himself by renouncing his previous membership and establishing that he did not know the subversive character of the organization at the time he joined it. He can do that within 3 months. and if the Attorney General finds that his withdrawal is on the level and is not fraudulent. he then becomes eligible for naturalization. I cannot believe that this provision should cause us to vote against the passage of legislation which will have a profound effect through all of Asia. particularly in Japan and Korea. We are sending our boys into combat today in Korea and depending upon Koreans on occasion to save their lives when our own laws still brand Koreans biologically inferior human beings unfit to associate with us.
