Recently I introduced legislation to admit some 50.000 more Hungarian refugees who are looking toward America for the freedom and opportunity which they lost at the hands of Communist terrorism in their homeland. The inequities in the McCarranWalter law cry for correction. It is long past time that changes in our immigration policy were made. The following editorial forcefully supports this view:
