Guarding Our Rights as Christian Scientists

Immigration (H. R. 5678, now P. L. 414). The progress of the Omnibus Immigration Bill was carefully watched. This bill was passed over the veto of the President and is known as the McCarran Act. Before this bill became active we had conferred with officials of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in order to make sure that the new bill, as drawn, would overcome a technicality in the old law which had made it difficult for alien candidates for the Nurses Training Courses at the Christian Science Benevolent Association Sanatoriums to enter the United States.
