Taking his passport. Rubinson later returned with certain papers which Silver signed. using the name of Silver although his real name was Feldman. He alleges that he never went to the consuls office. which appears true. since his visa was a forged duplicate of a valid passport. The committee hearings show that this alien paid $225 for his visa. steamship ticket. and the services of Rubinson. and was to send the balance of $175 after he had taken out his first papers. which he did. The Department file indicates that this alien was doubtful of the entire procedure relating to his visa. He obtained his American visa at Danzig under* the name of Naftali Silver. He did not pay Rubinson in full because he was afraid it was not the right visa. He alleged in an affidavit on September 5. 1935. that he was married the second time March .22. 1930. to Yetta Gersten. On December 19. 1935. he stated that he was first married in 1927. and his wife died in 1928. that he married again in April 1935. Not only in this instance is his testimony in conflict but in obtaining his citizenship papers he alleged the same false statements as were contained in his false visa. and was admitted to citizenship on March 18. 1932. Knowing that his visa was a fraud. he attempted to conceal the fact when applying for citizenship. This fraud was not discovered until the second wife applied for her second papers. Then it developed that this aliens papers were duplicates of genuine papers actually issued to a real Naftali Silver. who also has been naturalized. H. R. 3969 This bill provides for the usual relief for the benefit of Joseph Harris. also known as Josef Hersh. a native of Lithuania. aged 28. and who entered this country at New York.
