REPLIES TO CHARGES

Says Methods Recommend ed Obviously Came
 from Observer

WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug. 1o.-- A call for more men and equip ment to seek out and deport a huge body of aliens illegally re- siding in the United States, came Saturday from Secretary of Labor Doak who was aroused by the criticism of the latest Wickersham Commission report.
 The Secretary of Labor hit back at some of the suggestions but agreed with it that additional de- portation machinery would help reach hundreds of thousands" of aliens now here, many of them criminals.
 Secretary Doak's reply asserted that steps had been taken to cor rect some of the abuses but added that some methods recommended in the reports obviously came from an observer without ex- perience in practical problems of deportation
 The Commissions report was written largely by Rueben Oppen- heimer, Baltimore Attorney.
 The report flatly accused the Federal Immigration officials with resorting to oppression, extortion and unconstitutional methods in their deportation activities.
