CASTRO PRESE N is
A PERPLEX|NC
PROBLEM
United States Does Not Want
South American Firebrand
and May Exclude Him for
Reasons of Health,

By Morning journal Special Leased Wirel.
Washington, Dec. 23-The coming
to America under the name of Ruiz,
of Ciprano Castro, one dime prcs-
dent and practically dictator of Nene-
zuela, was today notified to the state
department from the American en-
bassy in Paris. The Venezuelan exile
is aboard La Touraiffr5 which is due
in New York next Saturdar, and the
state department is confronted with
the disagreeable question of wnat to
do with him.
Castro has been kept under surVe !
lance as much as possible for the last
three years, though now and then he
has disappeared from the sight and
Knowledge Of the state department.
When it was reported that he had em-
barked from France for America last
Saturday at lIavre. the officials were
incredulous, and it was only late to-
day that official confirmation was re-
ceived of his sailing.
1t tactily is admitted if Castro is to
be kept out Of the United states, il
must be done under color of the pub
lie ncdltn laws anu res Suldtioi', i'i
there is no legal charge against him
that would warrant such action.
Therefore. the decision of the ques-
tion as to his admission probably VIII
be left to the department Of commerce
and labor, which is charged with the
conduct of immigration officials OF
that department today SAID castro
would be subjected to Il rigid eNami-
nation. Immediately upon landing TO
determine his admissibility To the
country, but no Official was prepared
today to say whether the government
as a matter of policy. would go to ex-
tremes to keep the Venezuelan out
Officials here would not hazard
guess as to the purpose of Castro 5
visit. should the ex-president cherish
design of starting another reVolu-
ton against the government of Presi-
dent Gomez in Venezuela il was point
ed out he certainly would find dif-
ncult field for his operations in TINS
country where his every movement
would be watched by agents of the de-
partment of justice to prevent viola
tions Of the neutrality act.
