D'OLLER TRAHED
BY SPIES ON HIS
JAPANESE TOUR

NEW YORK. January 10 (Spe-
ciaD.-Franklin D'Olier, former ma
tional commander of the American
Legion, has just returned from two
month vacation in Japan, where.
during his travels. he was trailed
continuously and his baggage and
personal papers frequently and
Surreptitiously examined. Mr
D'Olier was informed this was the
work of Japanese government
agents. who sought to investigate
the report that Mr. D'Olier came to
Japan to Organize American re-
servists" residing in the islands.
Mr.. D'Olier related the story with
good deal of amusement to the
of the American Legion Weekly.
meeting of which Mr.. D'Olier
came to New York to attend.
Every time he and Mrs. D'Olier
left their hotel, the former COM
mander said. he would discover.
on their return. that everything
they had had been examined. Finally
he adopted the policy of leaving
his trunks open and his papers
spected without undue trouble on
the part of the inspectors. =
At the conclusion of his sojourn.
Mr.. D'Olier told his guide" he would
be glad to explain anything the
guide" had not understood in the
papers he had examined.
Mr.. D'Olier said the apparent
cause of the suspicion which
seemed to be directed at him was
the action of the legion national
convention which voted to support
the California exclusion laws.

SA VS. la w CALLS
FOR DEPORTING
OF O'CALLAGHAN

Under the law. Lord Mayor
O'Callaghan of Cork should be de-
ported for having entered the coun-
try without a passport. according to
an opinion presented to Undersecre-
tary Davis of the State Department
today by the solicitor of the depart
ment. Secretary Davis expected to
confer during the day with Secretary
Wilson of the Labor Department, and
pending that conference no an
nouncement was made as to the de-
cision of the State Department.
There appeared little likelihood, how
ever, that an exception would be
made in Mayor O'Callaghan's case.
Should Secretary Davis determine
to apply the law as construed by the
solicitor, the procedure would be to
request the Labor Department to
return Mr.. O'Callaghan to the Gus
tody of immigration officials at Nor
folk. to await deportation, or to ask
the Department of Justice to proceed
against him.
