LOS ANGELES, August 17.-Nomo
Yakson, 45-year-old itinerant. returned
yesterday from a three weeks vacation
in Mexico and Central American coun-
tries, all expenses paid by the Federal
Government.
Nomo says he is an Usage Indian,
born in Oklahoma. Ferderal authorities
arrested him in Cheyenne, Wyo., and
took him to Denver where the inrni-
grafton officials decided he was a Mex
ican. They sent him to San Francisco
and the immigration Office there refused
to listen to his claim regarding his ma
tionality. They told Nomo he was to
be deported
July 81 Nomo sailed for Mexico
aboard a fine liner, but when the ship
docked at Manzaniilo the authorities
there refused to accept him, saying he
was an Indian. Even that didn't con-
vince Nomos handlers, so he sailed
away for Central America.
Guatamala wouldn't have him. Mel
ther would San Salvador. The boat
turned around at Nicaragua, where it
became quite evident Nomo must be an
Indian. and he started back for the
United States.
