peoples property" asked Super
visor Arthur Shaffer.
Mrs. Lillian Ermentrout, who
owns five acres across the road
from the captain, said she
brought his trailer to the atten-
ton Of county authorities. She
said she wanted to build a home
and feared bankers would not
approve a construction loan if
they saw a trailer across the
road. Mrs. Ermentrout said she
understood Capt. Kent planned
to build a house on his lot and
would not object if he continued
to live in the trailer while his
house is built.
Objects to Principle.
Capt. Kent said he does plan
to build a house soon but he
objected to the principle of the
trailer law.
commemorative Attorney Hugh
Marsh said he would have to
get a warrant issued in the cap
tain's case, since the trailer
ordinance violation had been
called to his attention.
The supervisors decided to
have the planning commission
consider the possibility of amend
ing ths ordinance to permit use
Of a trailer on a private lot while
the owner is building a home.
Capt. Kent told reporters he
planned to test the ordinance
anyhow, regardless of the pro-
posed amendment.

An Air Force captain plans to
force a legal test Of Fairfax
County trailer regulations. even
though the law might be modi-
fed to accommodate people in
his predicament.
He is Capt. James D. Kent,
who appeared before the Board
of County Supervisors yesterday
to protest the law which makes
it illegal for him to live in a
trailer on his own lot on Route
682, Forestville, Va, above Great
Falls.
Capt. Kent, his wife and their
four children have lived in a
trailer at that location for about
a year. Fairfax County has an
ordinance. however, which pro-
hibits trailers from parking any
where in the county except at
regular trailer camps.
No Law Against Shacks.
"There is no law that says a
man can't put up a shack or tent
on his own land and live in it.
Why can't he use a trailer?"
asked Capt. Kent.
He said he agreed that trailers
might detract from the value Of
adjoining real estate, but he pro-
tested that the Government has
no right to tell people how to
live.
Don't you think the Govern
ment has a right to protect other

ceding the law was aimed at VOL

MendelSohn had a choice be-
tween leaving his wife and stay

endangered his citizenship.

Stresses Marital Ties.
HE says Mendelsohn could
have embarked for America,
turning away from the sick bed
and leaving his wife to the care
of others while he travelled thou
sands Of miles to retain his
nationality" it continued.
But the court said that Mr..
MendelSohn acted, "it seems to
us, under the coercion of marital
affection, which was just as
compelling as physical restraint"
The court discarded as in
applicable to the Mendelsohn
case later statutes indicating
that a naturalized husband
whose wife becomes seriously i'll
while the couple lives in a for
eign country may stay with her
beyond the cutoff date without
losing citizenship if she is an
American citizen, thus imply
ing that he may not do so if she
is an alien"
Mr.. Mendelsohn, who lived in
New York, is entitled to his day
in court and to a certificate of
identity to enable him to
come here to conduct his case"
the court concluded.
Judges Henry w. Edgerton
and E. Barrett Prettyman also
sat on the case.

Court Stresses NuptioI Bond
In Fiqht for Lost CITIZENSHIP

The Federal Court of Appeals
today read humanity into the
law to grant a naturalized
American a chance to show he
had not forfeited his citizenship
in standing by his sick wife.
The case concerned Polish
born Morris Mendelsohn, 80,
who came to the United States
at the age of 6 and became a
citizen through his fathers nat
uralization in 1923.
In 1896 Mr.. Mendelsohn went
to Palestine to operate orange
groves. When Italy entered the
war in 1910, the American con-
sui general at Jerusalem asked
all American citizens to leave
Palestine by October /, 1941.
Mr.. Mendelsohn, however,
couldn't afford passage for his
alien wife, his daughter and him
self. although he tried to obtain
it, until 1916. BY then, however,
his wife was confined to bed by
severe illness.
Passport Cancelled.
The State Department notified
Mr.. MendelSohn he had lost his
nationality as of October II,
1916, and his passport was can
celed. The law provides that a
naturalized person loses his ma
tionality by residing continu-
ously for f1ve years in a foreign
country.

Mendelsohn appealed from de-
