In being questioned as to his activities. this particular individual not only failed to recollect in any details concerning his activities. but in many cases was not only confusing but was in error. In testifying before the House committee he stated he had spent 1 year in Cuba. Later it develops in his deportation hearings that he actually spent 3 years in Cuba. He was interrogated rather severely in the House committee by the gentleman from Indiana regarding this situation concerning Cuba. because it was not clear -just what this young man had been doing between the time he left home and went to Cuba and came back. He returned to Lithuania. where he was subject to draft for military service. In order to escape that draft he had to leave the country. Like all of the others. he then went to Berlin. and while in Berlin he met a stranger. and upon the payment of some $40 or $50 he secured a visa. I want to call thd attention of the committee to the appearance of any one of these passports which appear in the Department files. You will find in the bottom corner a picture of the alien.
