Attempts to locate Jimmys natural parents were unavailing. Doye contacted the Army. the Veterans Administration and the Social Security Administration. but none could provide any leads. The Fannins also ran into stone walls when they sought immigration papers for Jimmy because his U.S. origins could not be documented. After the Fannins sought my help. in September. initially I. too. was frustrated. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul. Korea. seemed deaf to appeals on Jimmys behalf. Lower echelons of the Immigration and Naturalization Service were similarly unresponsive. Finally. in December. I telephoned David Crosland. Acting Commissioner of Immigration. to solicit his intervention. Next day the word came down: James Bronson was to receive humanitarian parole. a rarely invoked procedure for admitting an alien to this country when there seems to be no other applicable provision. Jimmy is now in the United States. studying English and preparing to learn a trade.
