Birth Records
For Marce|Io
Called Legal

NEW ORLEANS, April, 8
(AP).-The Guatemalan gov
ernment has taken an official
hands off policy in the case of
kingpin racketeer Carlos Mar
cello, the New Orleans States.
Item reported today in a dis
patch from Guatemala City.
States-Item reporter Emile
Comar quoted Augusta Mulet,
Guatemalan presidential press
secretary. as saying the official
government position is that
the records of Marcello's birth
in the tiny community of San
Jose Pinula in the Central
American republic are legal and
not forged. o.
Mr.. Mulet said no inquiry is
planned into apparently forged
birth records which resulted in
Marcello being deported to
Guatemala from New Orleans
last Tuesday. Marcello has been
called the United States No. l
rackets chieftain. 80,
Lounges in Luxury
Meanwhile, in Guatemala
City, Marcello continued to
lounge in a luxury hotel with
police keeping an eye on his
movements but making no ef-
fort to stop his comings and
goings. No.
Until Marcello's sudden de-
parture from New Orleans,
handcuffed to immigration
Service agents. the government
contended that the 51-year-old
racketeer was a native of Tunis
in North Africa.
Meanwhile, Guatemalap
newspapers unleashed bar
rage of editorials critical of the
action Of Guatemala in accept
ing Marcello. They demanded
that officials kick him out.
Several newspapers ques-
toned validity of his Guate-
malan birth record. The certifi-
cate, which shows his name to
be Cologer Minacore. appears in
the civil registry of San Jose
Pinula.
The newspaper Prensa Libre
said the ink and handwriting
of the June 2, 1910, Minacore
entry was different from others.
Signatures Said to Vary i
Reporter Comar said an ex-
animation of the tattered birth
record book indicates great
variance in the signatures OF
witnesses.
The States-Item story quoted
Marcello himself as saying the
documents are forgerieS. But
Marcello denied any knowledge
of who may have engineered
the birth record. He still claims
Tunis as his birthplace and
says he wants to return to New
Orleans.
I'VE have nothing against
this man." Mr.. Mulet said, mo
official complaint has been filed
and he is charged with noth-

The Federal Government
fought for 10 years to deport
Marcello, claiming a narcotics
conviction and his lack of citi-
zenship were ample grounds.
