ment and administration of the
Refugee Relief Act Program was
called "ill-advised" by the Mich-
igan Committee on Immigration
in its letter to Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles.
The letter, signed by the
Rev. Harry Wolf, director,
Lutheran Charities and presi-
dent of the Michigan Com-
mittee on Immigration; B. N.
Joffe, director, Jewish Com-
munity Council and chairman of
the executive committee of the
Immigration Committee; and
Florence G. Cassidy of the Na-
tary of the Immigration Com-
mittee, stated that "the Mich-
igan Committee on Immigration
is aware of Mr. Corsi's outstand-
ing record of service under
President Hoover and Governor
Dewey," and the Committee's
"confidence in Mr. Corsi's quali-
fications is not decreased one
iota by the intemperate attacks
and baseless accusations ad-
vanced from the camp of those
who, in effect, demolish the
spirit symbolized by the Statue
of Liberty."
