The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization has decided to postpone the hearing on the Perlman Bill amending the Immigration Law, which was scheduled for Wednesday, due to pressing business which is occupying the attention of the Committee.
The hearing will take place on February 4, when a delegation of the American Jewish Congress, including Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Carl Sherman, Adolph Stern, Arthur M. Lamport, Bernard G. Richards and others, as well as prominent non-Jews will appear before the Committee to urge favorable action on Mr. Perlman’s Bill, which would exempt from the quota the wives, husbands and children under 21 of declarants and citizens.
