DEPORTATION ORDER FAILS
Judge Rules Austrians Can, However
Be Returned to Canada, but
Not to Native Land.

Judge Charles Amidon issued an or.
der in federal court at Fargo re-
straining the immigration authorities
from deporting to Austria five natives
of that country who had entered the
United States from Canada last fall,
ruling that unless the country from
which they entered i. used as "a back
door" foreigners Illegally in the Unit
ed States can be sent back only to
that country and not to the country
Of which they are subjects.
The five Austrians were employed
on an American farm near the Cana
dian border when arrested recently
with their employer. Judge Amidon,
before whom they were tried, imposed
a small fine on the employer, James
Longtin, and released the laborerS.
The immigration authorities then
instituted civil suit against Longtin
and ordered the five laborerS deport.
ed to Austria. Judge Amidon's action
blocked the execution of the deporta.
ton order.

constitutional. The attorney generals
office has filed an application for a re-

the fees for such bonds revert to the
