56 NATIONAL ORIGINS PROVISION OF IMMIGRATION LAW STATEMENT OF DR. HERBERT FRIEDENWALD, WASHINGTON. D. C The Crarrman. Would you please state, Doctor, to the reporter, so that he may have it, your name, residence, and occupation. Your name is Dr. Herbert Friedenwald? Doctor Friepenwarp. Yes, sir. ~The Crammax., You reside at 1509 Sixteenth Street NW., Wash- ington ? Doctor FriepENwaLp. Yes, sir. The Cuairman. Your occupation, if you please. Doctor Frizpexwarp. Retired. If you will permit me, I might say [hat a very dear friend of mine was your friend, Harris Wein- stock. The Cratrmaxn. There was no finer man nor better American than Harris Weinstock. Doctor Friepexwarp. I agree with you. The Cuairmaxn.

Senator and Doctor Copeland is in position to verify my statement, and if any ome of you is curious to know any details, I refer you to Who’s Who in America. In passing I may add that the first of the Doctors Freidenwald studied medicine in Baltimore. After graduation in the University of Maryland Medical School, he determined to become an oculist, and as he fittingly was a man of vision, even so far back as the early sixties, he sailed for Europe in order to perfect himself in the branch of his profession where it was best known and taught. Upon his return to Baltimore he became professor of ophthalmology and dean at the old College of Physicians and Surgeons, now merged with the University of Maryland. So much for my father’s side. On my mother’s side, she came nf a family of the name of Ahlborn. Her father’s father, my great-grandfather, was a Hanoverian Ger-
