an opinion in the habeas corpus case OF

Island and charged with affiliation with
an organization teaching the overthrow
OF this government. Judge Knox declared
he would sustain the writ unless, as direct
ed by the warrant of deportation, the
Commissioner of immigration forthwith
admit the relator TO bail pending the COM
pletion of hearings to be accorded him.
The sum of $4,000 bail, fixed on the war
rant, had been refused because Of the
allegation that the hearing on Ellis Island
was not satisfactory. because Weinsteln
bad refused TO answer questions put to
him.
In an affidavit submitted by Rose Weiss,
an attorney, il was declared that Vein
stein did rot get proper hearing at Ellis
Island. In her affidavit she said she did
not question the warrant OH which Vein
stein had been taken into custody. nor
did she intimate that it was incumbent
upon the authority issuing the warrant to
fix bail.
According to Byon II. Uhl, Acting Com
missioner of immigration, the earliest
possible date for the steaming of Soviet
Ark No. g. will be April /. This date is
tentative. Mr.. Uhl said that it will require
six weeks at the present rate of speed to
hear all the cases OF the alleged Reds"
now detained on Ellis Island. Following
the hearings, 1t will take six weeks longer
for Washington to hear the same cases.
Even after the second step the aliens VIII
have the right of appeal. and present in

every case. Mr. Uhl added that bail had
been accepted for three detained Reds"
