Letter from Dwight Palmer to Donald Dawson with Attachment

Filed by MR. DAWSON GENERAL CABLE CORPORATION GENERAL CABLE JUL 1 01952 X 420 LEXINGTON AVENUE NEW YORK 17, N.Y. DWIGHT R.G. PALMER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 133 June 12, 1952 HR5678 Con RECEIVED Hon. Donald Dawson G JUN 14 1952 The White House Washington, D. C. DONALD S. DAWSON Dear Don: The attached has been delivered to the following: advised win him Washington Post New York Times X 600 Milwaukee Journal Chicago Tribune practically all the foreign language papers one or two others advertisement x144-c 196 These are ready for telegraphic release as a page insertion in these newspapers. The purpose behind it is this some time back I became interested in the discriminatory features of the McCarran Bill. Subsequently Senator Lehman's office and others pointed out to us it would be most helpful to the administration if we could supplement their efforts to nullify such legislation by getting something before the legislators to impress them with the importance of setting up a new standard rather than the 1920 yardstick for our immigrants. Of course, this is quite expensive insofar as dollars are concerned, but I feel it is the kind of contribution I would be glad to make in the event that you can decide upon the proper day or date that we should publish this copy. As I understand it, the bill has passed in the House by a large majority; it will undoubtedly pass in the Senate, and next I believe it reaches the President desk where I understand it is expected it will be vetoed. Question: What is the most effective date upon which to release this message? XHes now ARCHIVES AND NATIONAL TRUMAN LIBRARY RECORDS SERVICE Att. GOVERNMENT Ashr
