Leng May Ma v. Barber
Argued: May 20, 1958. --- Decided: June 16, 1958
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, with whom The CHIEF JUSTICE, Mr. Justice BLACK and Mr. Justice BRENNAN concur, dissenting.
The statutory provision in controversy is contained in § 243(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, 66 Stat. 212, 214, 8 U.S.C. § 1253(h), 8 U.S.C.A. § 1253(h), which reads:
'The Attorney General is authorized to withhold deportation of any alien within the United States to any country in which in his opinion the alien would be subject to physical persecution and for such period of time as he deems to be necessary for such reason.'
The alien who is physically present in this country is about to be sent to Communist China-a country which the Immigration and Naturalization Service itself has told us is inhospitable to refugees.
The question for us is not whether she should or should not be returned to China. It is whether the Attorney General has discretion to withhold her deportation if in his opinion she would be 'subject to physical persecution' were she returned to that country.
This alien is not in custody at our border. She is here on parole. The authority to parole is contained in § 212(d)(5) of the Act-the Attorney General may 'in his discretion' parole an alien 'into the United States.' How an alien can be paroled 'into the United States' and yet not be 'within the United States' remains a mystery.
Of course if we had the problem of Kaplan v. Tod, 267 U.S. 228, 45 S.Ct. 257, 69 L.Ed. 585, different considerations would come into play. There an alien on parole sought to have her years here used to gain herself citizenship. Alternatively, she argued that the statute had run on her deportation since her parole was an 'entry.'
No such enlargement of the prerogatives of a parolee is sought here. This alien seeks not citizenship, not residence, but only the shelter of a provision of the law designed to protect such refugees from the fate of 'physical persecution.' She only requests that she be eligible to be considered by the Attorney General as a beneficiary of this humane provision of our law. Only a hostile reading can deny her that respite.
I would not read the law narrowly to make it the duty of our officials to send this alien and the others in the companion case to what may be persecution or death. Technicalities need not enmesh us. The spirit of the law provides the true guide. It makes plain, I think, that this case is one of those where the Attorney General is authorized to save a human being from persecution in a Communist land.

# Lays and Legends of Various Nations/Germany Part 3/Legends of Rubezahl/Rubezahl Makes a Fool of a Noble

From Praetorius' Daemonologia Rubinzalii Silesii (volume 1, 1668), as edited by Büsching as "Erzählungen vom Rübezahl: Rübezahl narrt einen Junker", in Volks-Sagen, Märchen und Legenden (1812)
RUBEZAHL MAKES A FOOL OF A NOBLE.—[B.]
In the year 1512, a man of noble family, who was a very tyrant and oppressor, had commanded one of his vassals or peasants to carry home with his horses and cart, an oak of extraordinary magnitude, and threatened to visit him with the heaviest disgrace and punishment if he neglected to fulfil his desires. The peasant saw that it was impossible he could execute the command of his lord, and therefore fled to the woods with great sorrow and lamentation.
There he was accosted by Rubezahl, who appeared unto him like a man, and enquired of him the cause of his so great grief and affliction. Upon this, the peasant related to him all the circumstances of the case. When Rubezahl heard them, he bade him be of good cheer and care not, but go home to his own house again; he would soon transport the oak which his lord and feudal master required into his court-yard.
Scarcely had the peasant got well home again, before Rubezahl took the huge and monstrous oak-tree, with its thick and sturdy boughs, and hurled it into the court-yard of the nobleman; and with its huge stem, and its many ​thick branches, so choked and blocked up the entrance that no one could get either in or out. And because the oak proved harder than their iron tools, and could in no manner or wise, and with no power which they could apply to it, be hewn and cut to pieces, the nobleman was compelled, by unavoidable necessity, to break through the walls in another part of the court-yard, and to have a new door made, which was not done but at great labour and expense.
Note.—Busching’s Volksmarchen, likewise from Prætorius.—(Th. 1, s. 275—277.)
‘This legend,’ says Busching, ‘is elsewhere related of the Devil, who took compassion upon a peasant similarly oppressed.’

# Lays and Legends of Various Nations/Germany Part 3/Legends of Rubezahl/Rubezahl Turns Wood-Cutter

From Praetorius' Daemonologia Rubinzalii Silesii (volume 2, 1671), as edited by Büsching as "Erzählungen vom Rübezahl: Rübezahl wird ein Holzhacker", in Volks-Sagen, Märchen und Legenden (1812)
RUBEZAHL TURNS WOOD-CUTTER. [F]
Rubezahl once betook himself to the Hirschberg, which is in the neighbourhood of his forest haunts, and there offered his services as a wood-cutter, to one of the townsmen, asking for his remuneration nothing more than a bundle of wood. This the man promised him, accepted his offer, and pointed out some cart-loads, intending to give him some assistance. But to this proffer of help in his labours, Rubezahl replied, ‘No—such is quite unnecessary—all that is to be done, I can very well accomplish by myself.’
Upon this, his new master made a few further enquiries, asking him what sort of a hatchet he had got, for he had noticed that his supposed servant was without one. ‘Oh!’ said Rubezahl, ‘I will soon get a hatchet.’ Accordingly, he laid hands upon his left leg, and pulled that, and his foot, and all off, at the thigh, and cut with it, as if he had been mad and raving, all the wood into small pieces, of proper lengths and sizes, in about a quarter of an hour, thus proving that a dismembered foot is a thousand times more effectual for such purposes, than the sharpest axe.
In the meanwhile, the owner, (who saw plainly that mischief was intended,) kept calling upon the wondrous wood-cutter to desist, and go away about his business. But Rubezahl kept incessantly answering, ‘No, I will not stir from this spot until I have hewn the wood as small as I agreed to, and have got my wages for doing so.’
And in the midst of such quarrelling, Rubezahl finished ​his job, and screwed his leg on again, for while at work he had been standing on one leg, after the fashion of the storks; gathered together all he had cut into one bundle, and placed it on his shoulder, and off he started with it, in spite of every thing, towards his own favourite retreat, heedless of the tears and lamentations of his master.
On this occasion, Rubezahl did not appear in the character of a sportive or mischievous spirit, but as an avenger of injustice. For his employer had induced a number of poor men to bring wood to his home, upon the promise of paying them wages, which wages, however, this word-forfeiting man had never paid them. Rubezahl, however, laid at the door of each of these poor men, so much of the wood as he had carried, and thus brought the business to a proper termination.
Note.—This legend is likewise derived by Busching from Prætorius, Part 2. p. 183—188.

# Lays and Legends of Various Nations/Germany Part 3/Legends of Rubezahl/Rubezahl Sells Pigs

From Praetorius' Daemonologia Rubinzalii Silesii (volume 1, 1668), as edited by Büsching as "Erzählungen vom Rübezahl: Rübezahl verkauft Schweine", in Volks-Sagen, Märchen und Legenden (1812)
RUBEZAHL SELLS PIGS.—[C.]
Once upon a time, Rubezahl made, from what materials is not known, a quantity of pigs, which he drove to the neighbouring market and sold to a peasant, with a caution, that the purchaser should not drive them through any water.
Now, what happened? Why these same swine having chanced to get sadly covered with mire, what must the peasant do but drive them to the river, which they had no sooner entered, than the supposed pigs suddenly became wisps of straw, and were carried away by the stream. The purchaser was moreover obliged to put up with his loss, for he neither knew what was become of, nor from whom he had purchased the pigs.
​A similar trick is related of the celebrated Bohemian Conjuror, Zytho, of whom we shall have more to say in the ‘Lays and Legends of Bohemia.’

LEGEND OF MOUNT HOOD.
    "Tahoma"—thus the native Indian legends run—
       "A god magnificent and pure of soul, dwelt in a grove
    Of giant trees where stands this mountain now. None came to share
          His meditations, or his loneliness,
          'Till form empyreal, of loveliness
          And grace and majesty and holiness
    Coequal with his own, swept through the vault—a goddess fair,
       On errand from the stars. 'Twas Red Tamahnous, queen of love!
    Tahoma saw; she smiled, and passed beyond the sun.
    Aflame with strange, ecstatic fire, the fervent god,
       In sleepless vigil, waited through the years for her return—
    Ten hundred years. She came at last, at rising of the sun.
          Exalting all his form Tahoma rose
          To greet his queen; in maidenly repose
          She lingered in the west; upon her brows
    A wreathed effulgence flamed. In form the lovers were as one,
       Their ornaments the same. Each learned that fires celestial burn
    Where love is pure. Thus, near opposed, they willing stood.
    Foredoomed to earthly home, Tahoma sued her dear
       Companionship—that she, with silver hair untressed and spread
    In beauty through the skies, no more from stars to sun should roam.
          An errant messenger. She gave consent; ​
          Above the pair a morning halo bent,
          The greater spirit's token of assent.
    With arms outstretched the god essayed to clasp his bride's fair form,
       When lo! behind her 'rose a grisly shape of aspect dread;
    It veiled her from his sight and bore her through the air.
    ’Twas Black Tamahnous, fiend of rage and hate, the foe
       Of all the good and pure in heaven, on earth; relentless, fierce,
    Of form prodigious, aspect foul, she murders joy and love
          Where e'er she goes. Transfixed Tahoma stood;
          Then burst his heart: above his head the blood,
          In fountain red and hot, poured all its flood,
    And thus he died. The Spirit Great bewailed his son and wove
       A mantle pure and white around his form, and as the years
    Speed past renews the garb, as symbol of his woe. ​
    And ever as the summer comes the mystic queen,
       Forbidden ever to return as comet to the sky,
    Steals silently from out the west, at rising of the sun,
          To look upon her lover’s mantled form
          And meditate, alone, that sweet, sad morn
          When first they met; and still the hag, hell born,
    Pursues and draws obscuring veil o’er each; to realms unknown
       They thus return. The tale is true, for even mortal eye,
    When blessed of sight, may yet behold that very scene."
