Harriman Names Corsi to State Refugee Panel
Governor Harriman revived the State Committee on Refugees and named Edward Corsi among 17 members. Corsi, ousted April 10 by Secretary of State Dulles as a refugee consultant, criticized the move as shabby and un-Christian. Harriman said Eisenhower and Dulles offered no support when weather grew rough, noting Corsi’s efforts to carry out the president’s pledge. He had offered Corsi the post after the Washington dismissal. The unpaid committee, led by Corsi during Dewey’s term, aims to place refugees in jobs and housing.
