Dentist Loses Country While Hunting Money
Max Martin formerly a dentist at Evansville Indiana has had his American citizenship canceled by Federal Judge A B Anderson in a case filed in Indianapolis. Martin said he was treated as an alien in Germany where he was born and lived for 14 years. He argued his allegiance to the United States remained, but the government says he falsified his intent to become American. Martin returned from Germany to contest the cancelation and testified he left the United States seeking higher earnings abroad. The cancellation order rested on alleged fraud in acquiring naturalization. Martin appealed to the circuit court of appeals.
