Europeans have acclaimed the great humanitarian service he performed for those displaced by World War II. Long after most others had forgotten about the plight of those displaced by war and social upheaval. FRANCIS WALTER was concerned that the United States continue to be a haven for the worlds "tired. poor. and huddled masses." Congressman WALTER was also instrumental in permitting the emergency entry into this country of the refugees from the Hungarian revolution and from Communist China and Cuba. FRANCIS WALTER left many testimonials to his career in this House. His name was synonomous with the legislative fields of internal security and immigration. But. above all else. I think I shall remember "TAD" WALTER for his great personal qualities of kindness and fairness.
