their hopes gained slightly on
the congressional front where
the group of nearly so was but

a similar delegation from Hawaii.
Chairman Miller of the House
Insular Affairs Committee said

ity of sending the Alaska Hawaii
statehood bill to a House-Senate
conference.

The House has approved a bill
to give statehood to Hawaii. The
Senate tackled on Alaska and
sent it back to the House. Re-
publicans generally support state
hood for Hawaii, and oppose it
for Alaska, while most Democrats
take the opossite position.

fore she could call them.

lice, she said Terry was fas-
cinated by a newspaper account
of the crime. She said he had

U. ): Trying 10 Deporf
Dick Haynes by Any
Means, Board Told
, BY The Assoeio.ed Press

Dick Haynes lawyer charges
that the Argentine-born crooner
is the victim of an official ef-
fort to get him out of the coun-
try by ANY means, moral or
immoral"
Welburn Maycock. Mr..
Haynes Washington attorney,
so argued yesterday in seeking
to convince the Board Of Immi-
grafton Appeals to set aside a
Government deportation order
pending against the singer.
The board took the case under
consideration after hearing Mr..
Maycock's arguments. The Gov
ernment said it would let it's case
against Mr.. Haynes stand on the
record, but might file a brief
later.
Basis of u. S. Case.
The Government contends Mr..
Haynes lost his eligibility for
citizenship when during World
War II he claimed exemption as
an alien from the draft. It
brought it's deportation action
against the 35-year-old singer
after Mr.. Haynes visited Hawaii
last June to be with Movie Ac-
tress Rita HayWorth, whom he
married. The Government con-
tended Mr.. Haynes left the
country and re-entered illegally.
Neither Mr.. Haynes nor Miss
Hayworth was on hand when
Mr.. Maycock argued that:
l. Mr.. Haynes departure was
involuntary" because the I'm
migration Service did not warn
him he might be deportable if he
left continental United States
shores. Mr.. Maycock character
lied this failure to warn Mr..
Haynes as "just the same as
lying to him."
Deposition From Official.
Mr.. Maycock introduced a
deposition from Richard r. Cody,
a 10-year employe of the Immi-
grafton Service at Los Angeles, in
which Mr.. Cody said his SUI
periors had given him specific
instructions not to caution Mr..
Haynes he might be deportable
If he went to Hawaii.
2. Mr.. Haynes never left the
country because Hawaii is a
United States Territory.
3. Mr.. Haynes cannot be de-
ported because of an 1853 treaty
between Argentina and the
United States which guarantees
free travel to nationals in each
others territory.
4. The draft-exemption paper
which Mr.. Haynes signed in 1914
should be disregarded since the
singer diSclaimed it shortly after
wards and sought to enlist in
the Army. The attorney said he
was rejected because doctors
found he suffered from hyper
tension.

Society's Movie Available To Lodges

The film itself is of the
16mm variety and we instruct
those contemplating the
showing of the film, that they
will have to rent or engage a
protector in their own locali-
ty. This because the Croatian
Fraternal Union neither has
a protector nor has it been
found advisable to be ship
ping a machine around the
country. The rental costs are
not prohibitive, in fact the
film is much harder to re-
place, if at all.
At the present writing the
film "This Is Your Croatian

for a showing in Cleveland,
