Take a look at this new bill." By the first line. of course. is meant the McCarran Security Act. The Communists have never liked that. so they want the people to think the pending bill Is also bad. The editorial goes on to say: New despotic powers. aimed at further restriction of liberties granted by the Bill of Rights to citizens and noncitizens alike. would be placed in the hands of the Justice Department by the new immigration and naturalization bill . introduced by Seator PAT MCCARRAN. At another place in the same editorial It is stated: A new crime is then created by MCCARRAN and his Fascist cronies. The measure outlines the crime of conspiracy to allow orpermit a subversive alien to enter the country. imposing a penalty of 5 years imprisonment or $5.000 fine. At another place in the same editorial there appears the following: McCARRAN and the Senate committee members sponsoring the bill are proceeding under the guise of recodifying immigration and naturalization laws to engraft on United States democratic institutions the practices of Hitler Germany. The McCarran plan is the Hitler plan. It was tragically. revealed by history that this plan of police control over one group led ultimately to destruction of democratic rights of the whole people.
