GUEST CITIZENSHIP
WEIGHED BY COURT

The political future Of Winston
Guest. stalwart young polo player who
aspires to public office in New York,
was in the hands today OF Justice Jen-
nings Bailey Of District Court. who has
been asked to settle the question of
Guests citizenship.
Guest contends that the refusal OF
immigration authorities to declare him
q natural-born citizen, or at least
naturalized citizen, is seriously i'm
peding his political career.
Despite the fact that he was born in
England Of British father. the polo
star contends that his citizenship fol-
lows that Of his American born
mother. Mrs. Guest was separated
from her husband In 1919 and re.
turned with young Winston to the
United States, where she was repatri-
ated by Federal court.
An-Day Argument.
The case was argued all day yester-
day before Justice Bailey, who finally
took the matter under advisement and
asked attorneys to submit briefs.
Chief Assistant United States At
torney David A. Pine. representing
Secretary Of Labor Perkins and Immi.
grafton Commissioner Daniel w. Mac
Cormack. made II plain that those
officials hold no grudge' against
Guest.
Indeed. he is the type of man they
would welcome to citizenship" Pine
said But they believe that he Is not
entitled to citizenship, and to grant 1t
to him would set dangerous prece.
dent"
One of Guests attorneys. Harrison
Tweed, told the court, Il don't think
the immigration authorities want to
send this man out into the world with
out country. I think they eventually
will change their ruling"
Faces Uncertainty.
Prof. Edwin Borchard of Yale. ma
tionally known authority on declara-
tory judgments, who was another OF
Guests counsel, said an adverse de-
eision by the court would doom Guest
to a life of uncertainty"
Together with Attorney George W.
Dalzell and Wilbur Stammler. they
asked Justice Bailey for a declaratory
judgment that their client is nat
ural-born citizen and for . writ Of
mandamus commanding immigration
authorities to change the records in
which Guest was listed as an alien
when he was brought to America at
the age of IS by his mother.
If the court cannot hold him TO be
of American birth, the attorneys would
have it order that he be granted a
certificate of 'derivative citizenship"
growing out of the repatriation of his
mother while he still was minor.

ETERNAL.

DR. THOMAS F. MURPHY, Census
Bureau division chief, probably
knows more about religions and the
convictions OF followers OF each sect
than any one in the United States.
He is, for the second time, assigned
to supervise statistics on religions COM
piled at 10-year intervals by the bu-
reau. and will soon announce what
new in the way of religions has sprung
up in America during the last decade.
This census deals with religious Or
ganizations only, DR.. Murphy says. and
is in no way an inquiry into the affili-
ations of individuals. Last time DR..
Murphy checked up. 2l3 denomina-
tions were discovered, and the number
is likely to be larger now. OF this
number, l55 were grouped into %
classifications. based on major resem-
blances of belief and ritual. Fifty
eight kinds of religions-the more in
dividualistic faiths-were listed as sep
arate units.
The Lutherans had % types OF de-
nominations; the Mennonite bodies,

fists, 18. Explaining the nature of
these classifcations. DR.. Murphy says
that the Baptist list, for example, in

phrase "two-seed," he says. indicates
