And here they are in Congress a symbol of what America can do to those who want to work. We never got nor did we want any subsidies. I will mention one. whom I do not think many of you can identify. who to my mind typifies this group and who is a symbol of what America offers. His father came over in steerage from Europe. Then he worked as a laborer. He had six or seven children. one of whom sits on this floor and everyone of you that know him respect him highly. Here is what that family turned outwithout subsidies and without financial aid from the Government--a priest. an Army officer. a high county official. a Congressman. a great lawyer. holding an important Government job. and the others have been successful in the civilian economy.
