- WASHINGTON, Feb. 9—(AP)—Senator Wagner (D., N. Y.) proposed legislation today to authorize admission of 10,000 German refugee children annually into the United States during 1939 and 1940.
The children would have to be under 14 years of age and would be admitted outside present quota restrictions upon receipt of satisfactory assurances from responsible persons or organizations that they would not become public charges. - History Unfolded Contributor
