The State Department dropped Edward J. Corsi from his job as immigration adviser in a purely political move, Daniel S. Cheever '39, lecturer on Government, said last night.
"It looks like the Administration is knuckling under to Congress. I deplore the fact that the Administration will not stand up to either Republican or Democratic sentiment," he commented.
Corsi was attacked by Francis E. Walter (D) of Penna., co-author of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, for alleged association with Communist-front organizations in the 1930's, but Secretary of State John Foster Dulles denied that Corsi lost his job for security reasons.
Dulles said that Corsi's 90-day appointment expired, and that he is being offered another job. Cheever asserted, however, that Corsi was released as "his administration of the McCarran-Walter Act was unacceptable to right-wing Democrats, and Dulles may have made a deal to remove Corsi for Democratic concessions on other foreign relation bills, probably the Reciprocal Trade Program."
