Good news for A. E. F's, for anti

Violet Stree Resident
Struggled Way Into U.
S. AS StOwaway

Saverio Longo, 81, of 33 Violet
street, told Supt. Of Police William
j. Roach after he surrendered yes
terday that his conscience bothered
him and he wanted to confess he
struggled into this country as a
stowaway from Italy a year ago.
Supt. Roach said the alien made
up his mind after he wrestled with
the problem of giving himself up
thorities. He told the police head
he gave up his job as laborer, then
came to the police to make clean
breast of his plight.
The police executive said Long had
intended, when he came to America
after leaving his wife and three
children, to settle with immigration
authorities and be permitted to re-
main here and become reunited with
his family.
But with the alien registration law
and the selective service legislation,
both of which affected him, Longo
was In quandary He told Supt
Roach he did not comply with either
of these requirements because of the
fear he would be discovered and de-
ported.
Longo was mentally relieved after
he made up his mind to give himself
up when he reviewed his chances
of becoming a legal resident of the
country and finally his chances OF
becoming citizen would be COM
pletely lost If he was arrested.
The voluntary surrender and his
good record as an alien resident,
Supt. Roach said, would probably
stand the stowaway consideration
when his case is taken up by immi-
grafton authorities.
