Mr. President. this bill cancels the outstanding deportation proceedings against a 43yearold native of Austria who first entered the United States as a visitor in March. 1938. Subsequently he was married to a nativeborn citizen of the United States. and later he departed from the United States. On April 17. 1940. he was admitted to the United States for permanent residence. in possession of a preference quota immigration visa as the husband of a citizen of the United States. In 1947. deportation proceedings were instituted against him on the grounds that. prior to his entry into the United States. he had been convicted of obtaining money by fraud. He was sentenced by the police court in Brussels. Belgium. to 5 months imprisonment and a fine of 500 francs. on June 22. 1937. on the charge that he had obtained a check for 20.000 francs by false pretenses. He is presently residing in California with his United States citizen wife and their minor citizen daughter. He is a tax counsellor. and is held in high regard by the citizens of his community. as is evidenced by the considerable number of letters and affidavits. contained in the committee files. which attest to his excellent reputation. He is the sole support of his wife and minor child. and his deportation would create a hardship to the family.
