She married Irving G. Hendel. a brother of Bernard. and has three children born in the United States. Her husband. whom she married in this country. was naturalized in 1931. and is engaged in selling life insurance. This alien also went to Berlin and also met a man at a hotel. Her story is the same as that of her sisterinlaw given above. Her birth certificate and police report were also forgeries. It appears that she paid about $400 to this man for his help in securing her visa. At first she testified at the deportation hearings that she did not take these forged papers to the consulate in Berlin. However. later. on advice of counsel. she changed her testimony and admitted that she personally took the papers to the consul when getting her visa. Yr. I. 3382 This bill Is for the benefit of Philipina B. Klemencic and Is in the usual form. The file of the Immigration Bureau is not available. and so the only facts available are those in the House committee report and the printed hearings. at which hearings the alien was not present in person. This alien is a native of Croatia. The report alleges that the natives of the Slavic countries often used the passports of persons other than themselves. This alien secured the passport of a neighbor who decided not to come to the United States. and with that passport came to America. She is married and has an Americanborn child. Upon application for citizenship papers. her fraudulent entry was uncovered and she was ordered deported. She could not voluntarily leave the country. due to bank losses. until after the Attorney Generals ruling. which would have made her reentry impossible. This case differs from the preceding cases in that the visa was validly issued. but to a different person and its use by this alien constituted the fraud. of which fraud she could not avoid being aware. 1r. R. 3393 This is the usual bill. being for the benefit of Herman Urist. a native of Lithuania. aged 35. who entered this country at New York on the steamship Majestic July 14. 1926. He married in the United States in August 1930 and has two Americanborn children.
