Speech #830015274

We conclude. therefore. that the doubts heretofore entertained in this case concernIng the respondents possible membership in or affiliation with an organization believing In or advocating the overthrow of the Government of the United States by force or violence. or belief in the overthrow of the Government of the United States by force or violance have been dissipated by the last hearing. There is nothing but favorable comment on the respondents character and demeanor during the years she has lived In the United States. Upon full consideration of the entire record and because of her three United States citizen sons. we conclude that she should be permitted to depart from the United States at her own expense rather than be formally deported and granted preexaminatlon. Order: It is ordered that the order of de.portation of October 29. 1940. and the warrant predicated thereon directing the deportation of the respondent to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics be withdrawn. It is further ordered that an order of deportation not be entered at this time but that the alien be required to depart from the United States without expense to the Government to any country of her choice within 6 months after notification of decision conditioned upon arrangements being made with the local immigration office for verification of departure. It is further ordered that preexamination be authorized conditioned upon approval by the Department of State of the aliens preliminary application for an immigration visa. -Mr. Speaker. I want to call attention to the fact that the opinion I just read was written by the same person who. on October 29. 1940. wrote: Such answers. coming from thewife of the leading representative of the Communist Party in this country and from an individual. furthermore. who. according to her own testimony. has assisted him actively in preparing his articles and speeches. are hardly credible.
