Former GI in Germany Seeks German Life Gets Jail Term
A Brooklyn man and former GI who expressed a wish to renounce U.S. citizenship and become German was sentenced to eight months in jail to be served in the United States.

His mother, living in New Hyde Park New York, said he told reporters he had fallen in love with Germany and wanted to take the German way of life. Appeals by his mother failed to move him.
