This I think smacks of the system that we opposed in Germany. Italy. and Japan in World War II. and to which we are opposed In Russia and the Iron Curtain countries today. The district immigration director for the San Francisco- area is a personal friend of mine. Mr. Bruce Barber. He is an able man. I cannot conceive of his instituting such a flagrant plan. which appears to be a flaunting of law and the rights of persons to due process under the law to simply "get" a man against whom the immigration authorities figure they have a pending order outstanding. The reports I have are that Mr. Barber was advised or directed to take these steps by "some" superiors of his in the immigration service. It should be ascertained if this is so or not. General Swing. rather Commissioner Swing. of the immigration service since has changed his mind evidently and for this action I commend him. Yesterday afternoon he ordered the man brought back from Finland and produced in the Federal Court in San Francisco on Friday morning. On Tuesday. Judge Edward Murphy. of the Federal Court. castigated the Immigration Service and ordered the man produced in court. Mr. Speaker.
