RE!\ DIGGS SUBMITS 2 BILLS WASHINGTON ? (ANP)?Con grcssman Charles C. Diggs, Jr. (D Mich.) last- week introduced ii Congress two bills, one was 'aimec at amending and revising the pr< sent immigration and naturaliza tion law, and the "other called fo the amendment of the Fair Labo Standards Act of 1938 so as to ii crease the minimum hourly wagi from 75 cents to $1.25. In introducing these bills, thi Michigan representative said hi objected to the present immigra -Uon imt naturalization law be cause it is in complete contradict ion to the Americn concepts. The Present law sets annnalJm sed upon national origin for im migration to this country. It, then fore, "discriminates against cer tain peoples because of nationa origin, color, and religion." Diggs' bill would eliminate th< national origins quota system am establish instead a basic policy o1 accepting persons without regard to race, color, national origin, o religion. Preference 'groups, he said would be established by family un fication, occupational preference and national interest preference with a minimum and maximum pei rentage set equally for all coun tries. Diggs' second bill called for t minimum wage of $1.25 per houi in order1 to keep the individua workers' income in line with th< economic growth of our nation. An?increased income, he said '^vould assist those workers in areas wrjere recognition nan heer giVen to increasing costs. Such ar increase in these areas would have in creased spending, its beneficial effect updn the Nation's^ total economy."
