Secretary of State John Foster Dulles reacted favorably this week-end to suggestions for the appointment of a deputy administrator of the refugee relief program and an expediter in Europe for the program, both to be recognized leaders in the immigration field. The suggestions were put forward by a delegation of leaders of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish voluntary organizations doing immigration work.
Mr. Dulles also promised to give consideration to a third proposal–that an advisory council of representatives of governors’ committees on immigration, farm and labor groups and volunteer agencies be named to aid the State Department Administrator. The delegation expressed concern over the State Department Administrator. The delegation expressed concern over the possible harmful effects on the refugee relief program of the firing of Mr. Corsi. Miss Ann Petluck represented the United HIAS Service on the delegation.
