Mr. Speaker. several days ago an application for a visa by a Greek girl was refused on the ground that at some time or other she had done some illustrating work for a Communist magazine. This. Mr. Speaker. is an example of the kind of sabotage that is taking place every day in an attempt to discredit what is truly a liberal immigration and nationality policy. How a visa could be refused that girl last week. when 3 weeks ago 5 Russian chess players were permitted to come to the United States accompanied by a goon squad of 16 strongarm police to prevent their defection. certainly indicates to me that an investigation should be made in order to determine who it is in a place of responsibility who is a party to this scheme to sabotage the Immigration and Nationality Act.
