Description: WASHINGTON D.C. JULY 20-- THE NOMINATION OF JAMES L. HOUGHTELING AS COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION WAS SENT TO THE SENATE TODAY BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. A NATIVE OF CHICAGO WHERE HE WAS BORN NOV. 6, 1883 HOUGHTELING IS A FORMER EXECUTIVE OF THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS AS AN EDITORIAL WRITER IN 1923. HOUGHTELING WAS MADE VICE PRESIDENT IN 1927 AND SERVED IN THAT CAPACITY UNTIL 1931. HE WILL SUCCEED THE LATE DANIEL W. MACCORMICK AS COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION. This document mentions the nomination of James L. Houghteling as the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937. The context reflects the significant changes in immigration policy during this era, influenced by the social and economic challenges of the Great Depression and the broader political climate of the 1930s. Houghteling's background in journalism, particularly with the Chicago Daily News, displays a connection between media and governmental policy, particularly regarding immigration issues. === This 7x9 inch original type 1 photograph is from the personal collection of photographer Wes Howland (1906-1956). Howland was a reporter with the Harris-Ewing news service in Washington D.C from 1931-1941, and went on to serve with the military. He was one of a small number of photographers with complete access to the White House, Capitol, Senate, and House. This photo was part of a collection of over 1200 8x10's from Wes Howland personal archive that we acquired from his estate. Included with the lot was the following note from a relative: "Periodically he would send his 8x10 glossy's to his mother. Soon after (joining the Marines) the newspaper of Harris & Ewing went out of business. As far as I know, the hundreds of pictures he took and sent his mother are one of a kind, and the only ones in existence. No prints have ever been made. I inherited them from my grandmother." Not only did Mr Howland have incredible access to the government figures of the day but he was a highly skilled photographer who produced some stunning historical images and documented Washington D.C. in the 1930s like few others.
