Secretary Acheson's claim that Emmanuel cancelled his application before the consul could act doesn't tell the whole story. Acheson's assistants themselves state that Emmanuel was "found in-admissable under our laws." Although Emmanuel was never formally refused a visa, he almost certainly would have been unless the State Department's strategy was to stall him until he was forced to abandon voluntarily his U.S. trip...
