There had been called to my attention a case which most dramatically emphasized the importance of restoring to law that provision which had been law during World War II but had expired. It was the case of Roger Duquesne. a young Belgian. who had saved XCIX166 the life of an Air Force captain in my district. The latter had been shot down over Belgium. and this lad not only provided him with sanctuary but arranged for him to escape from Nazi forces seeking his capture and eventually to get back to American lines. Roger had two great ambitions In life: One was to emigrate to the United States and see again his Air Force captain. and the other was to acquire American citizenship. He came to Paterson. N.
