Second. I have already referred to the extent to which Mr. McLeod engaged in the "numbers racket" with respect to both his security and refugee activities. The following are two typical examples. which I suggest indicate his lack of candor: (a) From the Providence Journal. April 12. 1955: Corsi says less than 1.000 refugees were admitted under the act. while McLeod testified 20.000 visas issued with 14.031 persons admitted. But under pressure. McLeod admitted only 500 had been admitted as refugees with visas for 1.000 issued. (b) In 1954. Mr. McLeod told the House Appropriations Committee that he had fired 604 "security risks and others." But under pressure in closed session. he admitted that only 11 persons had been separated under the security procedures. and 7 of these were persons against whom charges had been preferred under the prior Democratic administration.
