However. we have received reports indicating that some pzrsons who have already been admitted to the United States under this act may have been members of. or in sympathy with. various subversive organizations in Europe. Investigations have been initiated on all such reports. and at present there a- -. approximately 20 such cases under investigation to determine whether the aliens are in the United States in violation of the act of October 16. 1918. as amended. To date. no deportation proceedings have been Instituted against any such displaced persons. inasmuch as no evidence has been obtained indicating that such persons are deportable. We have also received reports on approximately 35 cases of displaced persons who have entered the United States. Indicating that such persons. in connection with their applications to enter. failed to disclose that they had been naturalized in Germany or that they had been former members of the Nazi Party. The Displaced Persons Commission has indicated that any such person is not considered as a displaced person under the meaning of the IRO constitution. Accordingly. investigations are in progress to determine whether such persons are subject to deportation as having obtained their vias by concealing material facts. To date. no evidence has been obtained which would justify the institution of deportation proceedings. In the cases of 11 displace( persons. the applicants have been held at the ports of entry for further investigation as to whether they were inadmissible as aliens whose entries would be prejudicial. Of the 11 persons so held. one was permanently excluded on confidential information that her admission would be inimical to the internal security of the United States.
