Spector showed up in Los Angeles about 1921. Since then he has had a record of continuous activity and leadership in the Communist Party. Last year he defied the authority of the California State senate and was threatened with contempt. He was told that contempt might be ground for deportation from the United States. In reply Spector retorted. "You are too late. Mr. Tenney. my order of deportation has been issued 21 years ago and I am still here." The Attorney Generals comment on Spector is as follows: As a result of numerous refusals on the part of Russia to issue a travel document to the alien. he is free to travel in the United States and continue his communistic activities. He has been openly and usually defiant of this Governments efforts to carry out the law in his case. We have no means whereby he can be taken into custody.
