CHARITY HERE OPPOSES NEW REFUGEE ACT Children's Service Center Wants 20,000 German Youths Over Yearly Quota Admitted To U.S. Opposition to a an amendment to the Wagner -Rogers resolution which has been passed by the Senate Committee on Immigration, is being raised by the Non-Sectarian Committee for German Refugee children, with which directors of the Children's Service Center of Wyoming Valley has been cooperating. Gilbert S. McClintock, president of the directors of the Center, said that the favored the original Rogers resolution and wrote letters to members of the Senate and House Committees on Immigration as well as to Pennsylvania Congressmen. The original resolution provides for admission of 20,000 German children in excess of the quota during 1939 and 1940. The refugee children who would be admitted under this provision are about half Jewish and about half German children of various religions, according to Mr. McClintock. They are now living in deplorable conditions in other European countries. Their admission to the United States under guarantees by private individuals and groups that they would be supported until they reach the age of 21 is a humanitarian move which is being supported by the board of the Children's Service Center, he said. The amendment recently made by the Senate Committee on Immigration would provide for charging all children admitted under the resolution against the German quota for the same years.
