 Unique aspect of the proceedings. in which the plaintiff had alleged unlawful commitment to jail, was the appearance as a.witness la bee half of 0tnitSrak of Atty. John F. Tobin, originally listed to represent him as counsel.
 The plaintiff he'd charged that on June 20, ie30, he had received a 30I day suspended jail sentence and a fine of S26 and costs, when arraign- ed before Justice Russell II. Pope on charges of theft from person and assault. He took an appeal to the common pleas court, but one week later Judgment was reopened upon the motion of Grand Juror Francis P.

 On the same day, the plaintiff claimed, he was unlawfully confined to jail, where he remained until June 30, a period of three days. Eventually he secured his release on Q writ of habeas corpus, issued by the Ltchfield superior court.

U. s. immigration men nabhed him, but the Russian didn't worry. s> He claimed he would be shot If ldeported to Soviet Russia, knowing that our country does not send po- litical refugees to their death.

 Many a human interest case crosses the desks of immigration inspectors. One concerned the phil osophic attitude of an aged Mexican who had lived many years in Fl Paso, got the worng street car by mistake, went to Juarez, and couldn't return to Fl Paso because he had no passport. The Mexican was offerered help in getting his entry legalized, but he declined, say- ing that 1t made no difference to him where he lived.

IMMIGRATION SERVICE IS OrJTTS TOES AT MEXICAN BORDER, "BACKDOOR" TO U. s. FOR FOREIGN SPIES
ny MARSHALL HAIL ngEA Service COFrespontlantl

' A
 M Paso, Tex, oct. 23-"Your citizenship, please"
 A Q. s. immigration service in- vpector in forest-green uniform, stationed at the north end of a Rio Grande bridge connecting El Paso and Juarez, Mexico, asks the question of a bridge croSser attempt- Ing to enter the United States.
 The inspector may vary the form of the question but he seldom says, "Are you an American?" Any Illegal alien might master the pronuncia- ton of a simple "Yes."
 Do not doubt that enemies of this country are seeking entry along the Mexicon border. Agents of totali- taria have been using this back door to the United States for years, and now find 1t more convenient than ever.
 THE TRICKS OF
 TOTALITARIA
 The Dies committee charged re- gently that quantities of suhversive propaganda are finding their way into the U, s, across the Rio Grande. Dr. Kurt Heinrich Keith, former German minister to Aus tria and Hitler undercover man, crossed the border as "a retired cap italist." He was caught in Man hattan.
 Border officials don't talk much, but they know what is going on. Totalitarian agents have tried every conceivable trick, from forgery of documents to swimming the river, in their efforts to enter the U. s. Once Q group of Communists, be- lieved to have been on sabotage mis- sions, was caught in the vicinity of Texas army posts.
 A favorite method of foreign agents is to pose as refugees. One of these overplayed his hand by re- Ques ting medical treatment for in- IurieS allegedly received at the hands of Nazi prosecutors. Public health service officials who examined him became suspicious and subsequent investigation showed the self-styled refugee to be Nazl agent.
 The Fl Paso immigration district, sprawllng over a vast region of desert and mountains in West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, Is difficult to guard, and hence a beckoring doroway to subversive agents. Just now the district is charged with keeping an eye on 400-odd Nazi sailors who scuttled the liner Colum-
