Mr. President. returning to House bill 12953. here is a "hardship case." This is a private bill introduced in the House of Representatives for the relief of an alien by the name of Adolph Lipschitz. Let me read it: That in the administration of the immigration and naturalization laws the Secretary of Labor is hereby authorized and directed to cancel the warrant of arrest. He was already arrested. ready to be deported. and then this private bill was introduced for his relief. so that he would not have to be deported. The Secretary of Labor Is hereby authorized and directed to cancel the warrant of arrest and the order of deportation against Adolph Llpschitz heretofore issued on the grounds that on July 26. 1926. admission to the United States had been fraudulently gained pursuant to the commission of a passport or visa offense which. subsequent to such admission. has heretofore been held by the Attorney General of the United States to be within the purview of "crimes involving moral turpitude". and thereupon Adolph Llpschitz shall hereafter be deemed to have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence at the port.. of Buffalo on July 26. 1926. Any declaration of intention to become a citizen or any petition for citizenship heretofore filed by or any admission to citizenship ordered and certificate of naturalization heretofore issued to Adolph Lipschitz which were predicated upon the claim of lawful admission to the United States for permanent residence on July 26. 1926. shall hereafter be deemed valid unless the original 7year period of validity of such declaration of Intention has heretofore expired or Adolph Lipschitz has heretofore been found otherwise not eligible to such benefit under the naturalization laws.
