Deportation questions for Richard J. H. Krebs alias Jan Valtin
Richard Julius Herman Krebs known as Jan Valtin, author of Out of the Night, was detained on Ellis Island on illegal entry from 1938. After hours of questioning he left the facility with $5,000 in Liberty Bonds as an appearance bond, while officials weighed charges of being an undesirable alien or illegal resident. His lawyers denied FBI protection, noting his value to U.S. anti-communist efforts, and said deportation chances are slim amid wartime policy restrictions.
