Washington, Jan. 11.-Passport 70.
strictlons will not be waived by the
State Department to permit entrance to
the United States of Daniel J. O'Cal-
laghan. Lord Mayor Of Cork. who on
his arrival at Newport News as stow
away and without passport, was
temporarily admitted on parole by the
Labor Department.
The decision announced BY Acting
Secretary Davis brought forth the a.
sertion by Labor Department officials
that Jurisdiction still rested with the
secretary Of labor. This indicated q
continuation Of the controversy be-
tween the two departments.
Secretary Davis said that he con-
Cured in the opinion of the solicitor
Of his department that there was no
reason to make an exception in the
case Of O'Callaghan as regards admis-
sion without a passport.
He said he was communicating his
decision to Secretary Wilson and add.
ed the intimation that his department,
acting under the war time powers CIV
en- the President to regulate entry Of
aliens, might recommend that the De-
partment Of Justice be called upon to
deport the Irish mayor.
Labor Department officials asserted
Secretary Wilson did not recognize
that the case Of O'Callaghan had yet
come within Jurisdiction Of the State
Department inasmuch as he had not
formally referred 1t to Secretary Davis.
Secretary Wilson had not begun his
consideration of the case and It was
said he would not take 1t under ad-
visement until 1t had come to him
through regular channels.
At the State Department 1t was said
delay Of the secretary Of labor In rem
dering a decision after having paroled
O'Callaghan would permit the lord
mayor to accomplish his mission Of tes-
tifying before the committee Of 100 In.
vestigating the Irish question regard
less Of whether he may be eventually
deported.
Labor Department officials declared
that should the secretary Of labor find
O'Callaghan inadmissable on immigra-
ton grounds, 1t would not be neces-
sary for the secretary to refer the
waving Of passport restrictions to the
State Department, should he find the
lord mayor admissible, however, he
would then be called on to decide
whether the exclusion of O'CalIaghan
for having entered without passport
was question to be passed upon by
the State Department.
While the State Department first
held that O'Callaghan's case has been
brought before the department by the
action Of an immigration inspector In
Norfolk requesting advice, Secretary
Davis later stated he had amended this
decision and would not take the case
under advisement until 1t had been
brought to his attention formally by
the secretary of labor.
When Secretary Davis learned Sec
retary Wilson was not disposed to con-
suit the State Department and that he
had paroled O'Callagkan, he again
amended his decision and asked for an
opinion from the solicitor.
