As has happened before, the State Department career boys quietly stepped in and stopped visas for the remaining 36,000 Something like this happened once before under Rc velt. He had set up a refugee committee during the early stages of the war, headed by Myron Taylor, former chairman of U teel, which lected a group of professors, church- men and ex-oificials of European governments to come to the United But dyed-in-the-wool U.
