I was agreeably surprised to note that a publication. which has not been too complimentary to the present administration. has been particularly lavish in its praise of Mr. Pierce J. Gerety. of Fairfield. Conn.. a personal friend and constituent of mine. who last week became -Deputy Administrator of the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. The article in the New Republic of June 20. 1955. says he has had "an extraordinary record in the Eisenhower administration." and it points out that in becoming chairman of the International Organizations Employee Loyalty Board in 1953 he accepted "one of the hottest assignments of that period" the screening of 4.100 Americans employed by the U. N. and some 40 other international organizations.
