It comes from Monsignor Ligutti. formerly of Des Moines. Iowa. a leading cleric in the Catholic world. Here is what he has to say: Continue your fight in order to make our immigration laws more truly American. more democratic. more Christian. That telegram reached me 3 or 4 days ago. Mr. President. and it has been a source of inspiration to me. I have told the distinguished churchman that I would do my level best to make the bill a better immigration bill and to fight for a more sound immigration policy. I also wish to point out. since there has been considerable discussion as to who is for what and how various organizations stand with reference to the bill. that I have a letter from the Bureau of Catholic Charities. Inc.. dated May 17. 1952. reading. in part. as follows: I wish to congratulate you on your courageous stand taken with regard to the restrictive McCarran immigration bill. As one who has assisted with the resettlement of almost 600 displaced persons. I feel qualified to say that they prove to be an excellent risk.
