Harrison. Mr. Harrison. as I recall. was Commissioner of Immigration. and during the time he was Commissioner of Immigration from the year 1942 to August 1944. some very interesting things were done under the Immigration Act. That was the time when some 982 immigrantswhether it could be excused by saying that the war was on or notwere brought into this country in violation. I say. of the immigration -law. That is just one incident in connection with him. I am advised that on April 7. 1943. the American Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born gave a dinner for Mr. Harrison and awarded him their annual medal. This committee was. in April 1944. 1 year later. listed as subversive by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee and was on May 8 1948. listed as subversive by the Attorney General of the United States.
