Newspaper reports have indicated that juvenile delinquency has decreased in East Harlem. The personal contact which I have enjoyed with these various organizations and with individuals has offered a great opportunity to serve my people. I have been able with the assistance of my staff and volunteers to represent numerous tenants who were being evicted or displaced. to obtain welfare for needy persons. to obtain apartments in lowincome projects for families who need housing. to obtain employment from the division of employment and from the post office for people who can work and want to work. to halt deportation of several residents in our area and to facilitate the issuance of visas to persons rightfully entitled to enter America. to prepare and process applications for immigration visas. to secure compassionate transfers for veterans with a serious problem. and to adjust service discharges. The type of assistance which I have given has depended to a large degree upon the complexity of the problem involved. Frequently. my efforts met with a certain degree of success. but even if they were not successful.
