No criminal record appears in the history of this alien. RT. R. 2559 This bill likewise provides for cancelation of deportation proceedings and for validation of naturalization application of Benno Shmukler. also known as Benny Carlin. This alien had heretofore been naturalized. but the naturalization has been canceled as a result of the discovery of his fraudulent papers. . Benno Shmukler is a native of Galicia. Poland. aged 49. who entered the United States on June 21. 1926. at New York on the steamer Stuttgart. Upon inquiry in his own country. he learned that he could get a visa quickly in Germany by going to the agent of a steamship company in Berlin. The alien secured a passport to Danzig. there he secured a passport to Cuba solely as a device to gain entrance to Berlin. There he consulted the steamship agent and by means of false birth certificate and police report he obtained his visa. When he arrived on board ship. he then paid the agent in American money. using $20 and $50 bills. the sum of $500. In his application for citizenship the alien alleged birth at Kristin. Germany. Being questioned about this. he stated that he was born inKristin. Germany. because I knew that the visa I had come to the United States on stated that I was born in Germany. and I thought that I should say I was born in Germany for that reason. This aliens wife and two children followed him to the United States on the steamship Aquitanzia in 1929. Their admission was based upon the first papers of this alien and cannot now be questioned. Hence they are legally in this country. This alien operates a chicken market with his brother. In a summary of the deportation proceedings it is stated: Other than for the fact that the alien has his family here. the case has little appeal. The alien unquestionably knew. when consideration is given to the matter of his obtaining the purported visa. that he was violating the law. likewise when he obtained his naturalization papers. However. he has been in the United States close to 10 years. H. R. 3094 This bill would cancel deportation proceedings and validate any application for citizenship made by David Limonsky. also known as David Binder. This alien is a native of Lithuania. aged 32. who entered the United States at Boston on December 26. 1926. on board the steamship Celtic. He is married to an American citizen and has two children.
