Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - May 14, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news fair hem Quot these Days by George e. Sokolsky throw dem bums out a major difficulty facing immigration and Oiler authorities is to got out of the country those who came into it illegally or those who having been admitted abused their stay most countries behind the Iron curtain for instance do not accept such exp Ellees which Means that they remain in the United states because they have nowhere to go. One Case now pending has attracted considerable attention. William Heikkila was admitted at new York for permanent residence on june 9. 1906. He registered As an alien on december 12. 1940, admitting membership in the communist party. Although he had been in the United states since 1906. He Tost applied for naturalization at san Francisco on june 13. 1945. This application is still pending an it tort was made on january 4. 1948 to Deport him As an alien member of the communist party. Heikkila appealed to courts appeals rejected. He was Given a deportation hearing by the immigration and naturalization service which on december 16, 1949 ordered him deported. The ninth circuit court of appeals overruled prior court decisions and deportation hearings started All Over again. Thereupon commenced lengthy proceedings in courts in hearings before tile immigration service year by year lasting from 1948 to the present for a period of to years. The Heikkila ease has been be lore the supreme court of the United states several times september 3, 1952, lie filed an Appeal with the United states supreme court March 16, 1953, the supreme court dismissed his Appeal april 27. 1953 his petition for a rehearing denied by the United states supreme court. After going through other courts he files a certiorari to United states supreme court May 16. 1955, certiorari denied. On May 17. 1955, Heikkila having exhausted every judicial Means started All Over again with the a Nimi Gration authorities. He had had his Day in court he had lost. On october 26, 1955, after a hearing. He was again ordered deported again the appeals started it was As though there had never been any appeals before As though i Case had not gone All the Way up to the United states supreme court and had been rejected. Heikkila or his lawyers have actually worked out a new gimmick in the la namely they go Back to the starting Point after each defeat and go right through the same judicial process up to the United states supreme court. Tins can go on forever or As Long As the Guy lives and has Money to hire Law yers. Too the Only practical Way for the immigration authorities to function is to seize the expelled the moment lie is without judicial Protection and literally give him the bum s Rush. Tins was done in the cases of Michael Spinella Joseph Accardi and Giuseppe Galliano. Spinella. A proved racketeer was ordered deported by attorney general Mcgranery. On june 30, 1957, 7,493 orders for deportation had not been executed. The immigration service comments in its 1957 report a but the troublesome cases Are those where deportation is delayed and delayed. One major problem is the refusal of countries to Issue travel documents for deportation. More than half of the cases in the inactive category Are tor persons from countries in the communist orbit for whom travel documents Are not the question must arise Why these people want to stay in this country. A communist is committed morally and intellectually to the proposition that the United states is an imperialistic country a warmonger an exploiter of the worker and the enemy of the worker s Par disc the socialistic fatherland. Such a person can Only wish to remain Here for one of two reasons i. Either he does not believe what he says is True but has a private and perhaps sinister reason for advocating what he does not believe or. 2. He is sincerely and devotedly employed in the overthrow of our form of government and our social institutions by whatever manner he believes to be most available to him. He should be Given his Day in court but does that mean to years of continuous and repetitive administrative hearings and judicial trials at a certain Point such conduct must be regarded As capricious and contemptuous. True our sense of Justice requires that a Man exhaust his Opportunity for Appeal but is not a decision by the United states supreme court the vol. So no.
