Immigration Service Is Planning To Clear Stations of Those

WASHINGTON, April 20.- All aliens now detained because of in- ability to qualifyf or admission to the United States will be given an oppor- tunity to grow their own food, if the immigration service can find farming communities suitable for their needs. Ellis Island and other stations, jam med with some 5000 aliens the coun- try cannot deport because of the war, will be cleared under the plan.
 Crews taken from German and Austrian merchant ships in Ameri- can harbors will be included in the moving orders No aliens turned back at the nations eastern gates have been deported since the war began because of the perils of transatlantic travel
 The immigration service plans to give all an opportunity to engage in farming if arrangements can be made not only that the country's food pro- duction may be increased that much, but for the beneficial effects on the aliens themselves. The plan, which has been developed only in a general way. is to group persons of the same nationality together. Aliens arriving in the future, if inadmissible will be added to the colonies.

 Many aliens have been admitted to the country recently who in nor nal times would have been turned back, say immigration officials, be- cause there was no room at immigra- tion stations for their detention As alien enemies they are not entitled to admission to the United States ex- Ncept under conditions imposed by the government
