His men must be partisans of his party. Scott McLeod must go. He has revealed his own unfitness as administrator of the refugee program. I have this day offered a bill to give the President the power. by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to dismiss McLeod and appoint a new administrator for a term ending April 1. 1957. The bill also permits the filing of assurances of jobs and homes by recognized organizations. such as religious groups and special commissions appointed by governors. for the purpose of resettling refugees. Such a commission was already appointed by Governor Dewey and President Eisenhower urged. last week that the remaining 47 governors follow suit. The requirement that every refugee admitted under the law would have to be in possession of a certificate entitling him to return to the country from which he is entering the United States. would be eliminated. The present administrator has required that such certificates have unlimited validity and most of the overseas countries are. of course. reluctant to commit themselves to take a refugee back aftei being in the United States 10 or maybe 15 years. Presently Individual assurances must be given guaranteeing a job and a home. In the United States. In all refugee bills passed heretofore. blanketed assurances for jobs and homes were given by welfare and religious organizations. No trouble ensued. McLeod in his administration of the act has required individual assurances guaranteed by welfare organizations.
