I cannot believe that the authors of S. 2550 have given this problem any thought. This aspect of the McCarran bill was discussed again by the Senator from Rhode Island . and I believe it was discussed by the Senator from Michigan . I want the authors of the McCarran bill to tell me why a 75yearold mother of a Greek immigrant. for exampleand I am thinking of a particular case. a mother who. for all practical purposes. can neither read nor write. and who would be termed an illiteratewhy should this dear old mother not be given the privilege of passing the last few days of her life in the comfort of the home of her son. who has made a great success in America. and who is an outstanding citizen in his community? What harm would that do to the United States? The McCarran bill. it is said. would protect us from evil forces.
