Roundup Of Aliens
.0verstaying Leave
In u. ). Launched
Nuzi Seumen Chief
Toreet Of Drive Centered
In Eight Seoeoost Cities
By the Associated Press.

by liiS ASSoC4dIcN 1000
A Nationwide roundup of aliens
known to be in this country illegally
was launched suddenly last night
by the Justice Department. The
campaign centered in eight sea-
coast cities and was aimed prin-
cipally at Nazi seamen who have
overstayed their leave.
Lemuel B. Schofield, special as
sistant Attorney General in charge
of the immigration Division, said
immigration agents and police were
seeking a number of aliens shown
by files to have entered the country
irregularly or to have remained
Illegally.
He emphasized that the aliens
status was disclosed by the I'M
migration Service files and that the
drive had no connection with the
recent national alien registration.
He declined to disclose how many
aliens were sought or the progress
of the roundup so far.
Efforts Centered in Eight Cities.
immigration agents and police
were concentrating their efforts in
New York, Boston, Baltimore.
Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Los
Angeles and Portland, Ore.
The roundup technically was de-
signed to catch all aliens who are
here irregulatly but it was re-
ported reliably that the campaign
was aimed principally at German
and Italian seamen in an extension
of the general policy that led to
the recent seizure of Axis ships and
the arrest of their crews.
An immigration Service spokes-
man said several hundred" in
spectors were assisted by police in
the New York drive. Shortly before
midnight, a Scotchman and
Portuguese were taken to Ellis
Island.
Police combing Manhattan's West
Side brought in 13 Greeks and one
Swede for questioning. Fifteen
Italians were brought to head
quarters for interrogation in Brook
lyn. One man was held in Queens
after police reported questioning
more than 1000.
Twenty-Five men were arrested
in Hoboken, N. j. Two were held
in Bridgeport, Conn, and three in
Hartford.
Held in South.
At Jacksonville, Fla, w. w. Eys-
ter, Southeastern district director
of the United States Bureau of
immigration, said approximately
$50 German and Italian aliens were
being held in the district in ad-
dition to about 100 seamen" held
under prosecution by the United
States marshal.
Mr.. Eyster, whose district covers
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina
and Alabama, said two German
aliens had been arrested in jack
sonville within the past several
days. Both, he said, were employed
by Jacksonville firms but he would
give no further details
At San Francisco, police officials
said officers of the Crime Pre-
vention Bureau were working in CO.
operation with the immigration
Service in a secret roundup. City
prison authorities said no aliens
had been booked there, however.
