Corsi apparently fancies himself as a victim of persecution to which a spineless Secretary of State acceded. and a number of persons. without bothering to seek the truth in the matter. have been glad to go along with him in his role of the wronged. But what actually happened? Secretary Dulles has denied all the talk about congressional pressure brought to bear and says simply that Corsi is out because he was not qualified for the office and because he insisted that he be named administrator of refugee admissions. a post held by Scott McLeod. It was McLeod. whom Corsi later sought to undermine. who first suggested the former Dewey officeholder for a place in his department as consultant on refugee immigration. He was sent to Europe to secure firsthand information and there proceeded to annoy the State Department by his overfree expressions and his failure to check with our heads of diplomatic missions. On his return to Washington. further friction developed within the Department and while plans were under way to offer Corsi another advisory post. he got himself embroiled in the argument with Congressman WALTER regarding past Communistfront affiliations. which Corsi denied.
