A Aliens visiting the United States for a short stay and liking the coun- try so well that they want to make their homes here, have become one of the chief concerns of the Immi- gration Bureau. Unaware that they have been ad- mitted as visitors, these aliens are beseiging the bureau with requests for extensions of their leave to re- main here, many explaining that since thelr arrivai they have found work, and like it so well they don't want to go home. Thelr enthusiasm, however, often proves their undoing, for under the immigration laws, the bureau is re- quired to deport such aliens when they go to work after being admitted as visitors, or in any other way change their status from that under which they were temporarily admitted to this country. Officials of the bureau said today that dozens of applications for ex- tenslons of leave to remain in the PLANES PLAN VIEWS OF NEW PARK AREAS Reservations in Three South- ern States to Be Photo- graphed From Air.

Col. Glenn S. Smith, secretary of Park Commission, asserted today that when the photographs are available he will call a meeting of the commis- sion next month at which plans will be formulated for an extended in- spection tour of the sites in June by the entire body. The commission is empowered to fix the boundaries, to receive offers of donations and to ob- tain options on land within the pro- posed parks.

United States were coming to them every day, and that as a result of the situation, the department has lald down a strict policy of denying all such applications when there is evi- dence that the alien has obtained work or has declared an intention of trying to make his stay permanent. The only method by which these allens can attain permanent status, officials said, is for them to return to their homes abroad and return to this country under the immigration quota, with proper immigration visas on their passports. Immigration statistics show that 103,750 persons have been admitted to the United States temporarily since July 1, the beginning of the last fiscal year. Many of these, however, came from American countries for which there is no quota, but the procedure by which they may attain permanent status is practically the same as for those nations affected by the quota provisions of the la: HERRIOT DEFIANT IN BITTER DEBATE ON SEN.. = FLOOR (Continued from First Page.) exceeded the legal limit by 2.000,000,- 000 francs, Premier Herriot In the Senate solemnly declared his govern- ment opposed all inflation.

McClintock's second- wife was mma Nelson McClintock, mother of Billy When McClintock died the estate went to his widew, and upon her death, to Billy, who named Shepherd in his will as his chief beneficiary. Shepherd became acquainted with Mrs, McClintock through his wife, who had known her In schooldays. A visit by the Shepherd family to the McClintocks to renew the old acquain- tance was prolonged for years, and up to the time of his indictment and arrest, Shepherd occupied the Mc- Clintock home ,in a North Shore sub- urb. ¢ Nurse Telly Story. A hint that the founder of the for- tune, Hickling, had died under pecu- liar circumstances, recently was r lated to an assistant State’s attorn by Anton Kircher of Chicago. Kircher said he had been a nurse in the Hickling home in the late and asserted that Hickling, who then was about 75 years old and bedridden, had frequent discussions with his wife concerning his will, which he said she eventually had changed in her favor. “But a shert time later the told Hickling that she knew a who she was sure could cure him of his trouble.” Kircher was quoted as saying. “A man she called a doctor called at the house and gave Hick- ling some pills.
