An excellent lawyer. he readily adapted himself to the functions and responsibilities of that assignment. His keen intellect and untiring zeal was soon made manifest to his fellow committee members and as a consequence his advice was most welcome and his influence increased with great rapidity. During the Eightieth Congress. he served as chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization. a subject that had not hitherto been under the jurisdiction of the Committee on the Judiciary. He thoroughly familiarized himself with those intricate problems and in consequence. discharged his responsibilities promptly. intelligently. and humanely. Largely through his influence. legislation introduced and sponsored by him was enacted into law which authorized the admission into our country of thousands *of homeless refugees. who for no fault of their own but because of the ruthlessness of war. had been driven from their homes. had no place to go. and no opportunity to earn livelihoods for themselves or their families. Probably few. if any. of these future American citizens will ever realize that the perseverance and influence of FRANK FELLOWS was in a large measure responsible for the great opportunity accorded to them to come to our shores. live with libertyloving peoples and become citizens of the greatest nation under Gods dominion. FRANK FELLOWS loved the law. he loved his work in Congress. but more than that. he loved human beings.
