Mr. Speaker. on October 12 a very sensitive and informative program on the problems of the Lower East Side. called "The Melting Pot Grows Older." appeared on WNBCTVs New York illustrated series. This area. the gateway to the promise of America for successive waves of immigrants from many lands and speaking many languages. is changing. in some cases for the better. in others for the worse. As the narrator. Ken Alvord. points out. in the early daysIf times were hard and prospects were dim for the parents then. there was always hope for the children. They became educated. grew up. left the poverty and the tenements behind.
