Does not the Senator from Georgia feel that it would be sufficient if it were simply provided in the first paragraph that one should be deportable if he had been convicted of espionage or sabotage? Does not the Senator feel that it lends itself so easily to oppression simply to say that a man may be deported who has admitted in writing that he is engaged in espionage and sabotage? We know how the third degree works. We know that at times there are men in the Federal service who are not averse to using the third degree. and some of them are quite adept in using it. I can very readily visualize a situation where an unfortunate fellow whom they wanted to get rid of. whom they wanted to run out of the country. who probably could not be convicted and never had been convicted. could be highpressured into signing a written statement that he had been engaged in espionage or sabotage. and perhaps he would not know what they were talking about. So it seems to me that the provision for deportation ought to be confined to a conviction either on the defendants plea of guilty or after trial.
