Mr. President. continued misrepresentation about the effect of the Immigration and Nationality Act on seamen has created a great deal of misunderstanding. In this connection. I want to call the attention of the Senate to a news story in the May 1. 1953. issue of the Seafarers Log. This is the official organ of the Seafarers International Union. The news story to which I refer deals with the treatment of alien seamen under the Immigration and Nationality Act. In reading this news storyand I hope all Senators will read itthe fact should be borne in mind that this is an item printed in a seamens union journal for the information of seamen. It is not something written for a calculated propaganda effect. This is a plain. unexcited. factual treatment of the situation. and it portrays clearly the fact that alien seamen are getting a fair deal under the new Immigration and Nationality Act. Mr. President.
