As chairman of the UnAmerican Activities Committee he wields tremendous powers over the lives and reputations of our citizenry who are subpenaed as witnesses under subversive charges. In this delicate operation he has been subjected to the most caustic criticism ever leveled against a public servant. As chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Matters again he receives the critical lambastings of ethnic groups who question the quota limitations of the McCarranWalter Act affecting their respective groups. Yet. in recent years "TAD." as he is affectionately called by his intimates. has not only improved procedure both in the field of investigation and the conduct of hearings. but he also tightened the rules of the admissibility of evidence. He pioneered the liberalizing of these immigration limitations by the passage of bills permitting the unification of families. the entry of adopted orphans. and so on. He has made it possible for thousands to join their kin. His legislation to permit the entry of trained artisan immigrants whose talents as marble and stone men. and tailors and so forth were needed by industry is a contribution to the economy. His parliamentary astuteness as chairman of the party caucus. of the Whole House. or on the floor went unquestioned. We of the Illinois delegation salute our distinguished colleague on this. his 69th birthday. and wish for him immediate recovery from his present illness and pray to God for his early return to continue his much needed services to the Congress and the people of the Nation.
