Javlts Protests
WASHINGTON—(JTA)~Rep; Jacob JvJavits has renewed -his protest to the Statfe Department against its consular officesrerr quiring, in practical effect> persons of the Jewish faith to list their religion: on " visa ; applica-ions. He-made kno\yn that'he was not satisfied with a, visa division r explanation that "it will be left to each individual appli^ cant to- state what he considers o be his race and ■ ethnic classi-^ ficatioii."
In iiis protest. Rep. Javits pointed out that according to inr formation he had received, it is ;he practice in consuilar officers abroad to suggest to perspns of Jewish faith . that they insert their religious faith; in the space provided in the visa application tor "race and >^thnic classifida-ion." He said that if they do not make such'.insertion they are refused visas.'
"To treat thos6 of the Jeiyi9h aith as an ethnic classification could only be construed as dis^ criminatory 'treatment ; and is reaching for a ; definition of the word 'ethnic' to accfomplish it,'* Rep. Javits said. "Expert scien-ific opinion does. not regard those of the Jewish faith as an ethnic group. and it should not be so regarded."
"The State Department cannot avoid responsibility -for rwhat goes on in. its 'consuls^ offices by ailing to specify or to list races and ethnic classifications which
would meet; the requirements of ttie McCdrran Immijiration Law," he said. "The law does not go into effect imtil Dec. 24 and there is ample time,to make such listing. Such listirig; would certainly not include; Jews as an ethnic or race classification. The State Department's insistence on ■ its present position will :^make the already unfair and, discriminatory -McGarranj Immigration : Act feven more unfair and discriminatory."

The Supreme Court of^ [ Canada has invalidated one suchl clause which was brdught before this tribunal.
