Princess Stephanie Held
By Deportation Agents
BY the Associated Press.

6y lHc ASSOCldtcu
SAN FRANCISCO, March g.
Princess Stephanie Hohenlohe,
whose appeal from a deportation or
der was rejected in Washington last
Wednesday, was arrested at her
Palo Alto apartment today and ta-
ken to the hospital wing of the i'm
migration detention station.
The Hungarian woman, friend of
German Consul General Fritz Vie
demann here, had been at liberty
on $4,000 bail pending the appeal.
Described in British Parliament as a
Nazi sympathizer, she was ordered
deported because her presence was
regarded as inimical to the best in
terestS of this country.
When the deportation order first
was served on her she was in the
presence of Wiedemann, but he
stated afterward the German gov
ernment had no interest in her case
since she was not a German citizen.
Since then her attorneys say they
have questioned representatives of SO
countries in futile effort to find
one that would allow her to enter.
Joseph Bullock. the princess at
torney, said he was informed the
action was taken "on telegraphic in
structionS from Washington. In
Washington, immigration officials
said they had not been informed of
the princess arrest but that it would
be normal step" since the Board
of immigration Appeals had decided
against her.
