Counsel Says Deportation of
Royal Kurdistan Scion
Would Be Outrage

The final plea to save Zerde-
cheno, the alleged Emir Of Kur-
distan, was made before the immi-
grafton board of review of the
Department of Labor today.
The Emir himself did not ap-
pear in his own behalf. His at
torney, Abner Siegal, reviewed the
testimony and declared that the
prospective election Of the Emir
from the United States would be
an Outrage"

The Emir was painted as one Of
royal blood, although Judge Phillips,
of the board of review, declared
that Kurdistan has no govern.

expression"
Mr.. Siegal insisted that the family

Kurdistan for many centuries.
Eat this very moment this man

said Mr.. Siegal, is the CHIEF of
proud people. He is their ac,xnowl-
edged ruler and he Is in the United
States trying to obtain American
capital to develop their resources
and to help his country"
Denials were made that the Prince
of Kurdistan ever had beaten hotel
bills, that he was without funds
or in danger of becoming ''vagrant
with refined manners" ~
Has Funds Aplenty. =
Mr.. Siegal declared that the Emir
had sufficient funds to keep him,
and that he was in no danger Of
becoming a public charge.
The troubles that have over
whelmed the alleged royal foreigner
since reaching the United States.
last July, were reviewed in detail.
Mr.. Siegal insisted that the diplo.
matte passport issued to the Emir
is genuine. The immigration au-
thorities are strongly inclined to
the belief that it Is not, and In
spector William Johnson has recon-
mended deportation without further
delay.
The Emir probably will not know
his fate for some days to come.
The board of review will analyze
the plea made by Mr.. Siegal before
announcing its findings.
