William j. Rebholz doesn't have
to send his baby son to Europe for
a year to get American citizenship
for the child. But he's going to do
it anyhow.
Attorney General Clark said last
night that "the boys status can be
adjusted here"
But in Chicago, the 24-year- old
father stuck to his guns las a mat
ter of principle"
Mr.. Rebholz, a former merchant
seaman, is an American citizen. He
met his Norwegian wife in Egypt and
they were married in Rome, Italy,
where their son Neils Francis was
born 16 months ago.
The family came to this country
last year. Mrs. Rebholz entered as
the wife of an American citizen, but
little Neils was admitted on Co.
day visitors permit. The child has
been here on that permit ever since.
The reason: migration laws say
that if an American citizen has
lived in the United States less than
five years after his 10th birthday
and marries abroad, his children do
not become citizens automatically
The father has lived in Europe
most of the time since he was 10.
Mr.. Rebholz plans to send his
son to Copenhagen to live with his
grandmother for one year, then re-
enter the United States under the
regular immigration quota. He can
then become naturalized.
st know the Government is not
pressing for deportation of my
son." Mr.. Rebholz said when he
learned of Mr.. Clark's comment.
But my reason for having the
child leave and return under a quo
ia system is that I do not want to
sign a petition for suspension of
deportation.

London Will Return
Wright Plane 10 U. s.;
Location in Doubt

The Science Museum In London
has announced it is ready to send
back to the United States the BIZ
plane Kittyl1awk, in which the
Wright brothers made the first
heavier-than-air fight, and the ex-
ecutors of the late Orville Wright
plan to meet tomorrow at Dayton,
Ohio.
Executor Harold S. Miller said in
Dayton last night a final home for
the plane has not yet been chosen.
He said it might be a month before
the decision Is made, due to exami-
nation of Mr. Wright's papers.
1--WE have other problems to face
first" he said. EFT may take a
month or more to go through Mr..
Wright's papers to see what he
wanted done with the airplane"
The museum is awaiting direc-
tons on where to send the historic
craft.
May Come to Smithsonian.
While some think the plane will
come to the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, nothing officially has been an
nounced to this effect.
In 1928, Mr.. Wright sent the plane
to London after dispute with the
Smithsonian over the "aerodrome"
Of Samuel P. Langley, Smithsonian
secretary, which it described as "the
first man-carrying aeroplane in the
history of the world capable of
sustained free fight.
Langley died February ~, 1906,
but the Smithsonian credited him
with being Americas real plane
pioneer for nearly 40 years.
Langley's plane crashed into the
Potomac on an attempted takeof a
few days before the Wright brothers
flew at Kittyhawk, N. G. But in
1943, the Smithsonian apologized for
its erroneous" statements.
Return to u. s. Asked in 1913.
While Wrights will was dated 10
years ago, leaving the plane to the
London museum, he requested its
return to this country in a letter
written in 1913. The museum ac-
knowledged this letter, but the

Cherry Orchard

MOSCOW - up - The Literary

theatrical producers for setting the
scene of the Cherry Orchard" in
the south of the United States.
Americans allow themselves un-
tremendously to re-hash plays by
foreign dramatists with no thought
for the authors idea or, at any
times, for common sense" said the

"Thus, according to 'Harper's
Magazine a certain theatrical cut

Following completion of the ini-
tial twO-game series, the first and

place clubs will meet in a similar
series. The round-robin will be
completed by the first and fourth

series, while the second and third
place clubs are meeting in a similar
series.
After each of the semi-fnalists
has met each of the other semi-f-
nalists twice, the two clubs that
have the highest winning percent
age resulting from the rOund-robin
play will then meet in a best-four-
out-of-seven final playOffs series

 The industry asked for an per cent boost in a petition before the Interstate Commerce Commission on Oct. l. This will be amended tomorrow to the higher figure.
 The industry will ask the ICC to grant an immediate "emergency increase of eight per cent while hearings are going forward on the proposed l3 per cent advance for long term application.
 The amended petition, like the original, will propose specific cell ings in dollars and cents on the advances to be applied to coal, coke, iron ore, fresh fruits and vegetables, and lumber and sugar.
 This means that on short haul traffic. these commodities would take the full percentage increase, but on long-distance traffic, they would take less than the l3 per cent.
