Miss Marguerite Runge. who arrived
here on September 81 on the steamship
Oropesa from Hamburg with the ex-
pectation that she would be allowed to
enter and make her home with the fam
lily of Hugo Muller tobacco importer
at 100 Riverside Drive, with whom her
sister Miss Mathlde Runge, is en-
ployed as a governess, has been sent
back to her home in Germany because
she admitted to the immigration officials
that she was born in South Africa. She
was barred because the quota from
South Africa has been exhausted until
next July land under the law Miss
Runge is an African.
There is chance that Miss Runge
would have been allowed to enter
if she had claimed exemption as SER
want, for she said that she was willing
to engage in any employment to help
her aged mother in Germany as even
servants pay in the United States
amounts to more than she could earn
at home. The case went to Washington.
