50 f——— HINDU’S ADMISS'UN Life’s Darkest Moment ASCITZENUPHELD Court Ruling Expected to Be Important in Affecting Status of Indians. By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, November 2.— Admission to citizenship of Sajha- ram Ganesh Pandit, distinguished Hindu scholar, writer and attorney of Los Angeles, was upheld here yes- terday by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, marking the first time, court officials said, that a na- tive Hindu has been so honored. Pandit, 2 Brahman, or high-caste native of India, graduite of Pathasha University, Benares, practicing at- torney and teacher, was admitted to citizenship in the superior court of San Beérnardino County in May, 1924, In June of that year the immigration service filed an action holding that he had been granted his citizenship fllegally, as there was no constitu- tlonal provision for the admisslon of other than free whites of voting age to citizenship. Pandit, whose wife owns a large acreage in the Imperial Valley which was affected by the citizenship proceedings, revoked all title and claim to an estate valued at $300,000 in Indfa to gain American citizenship. The circuit court hefd that if the lower court erred in granting Pandit his_citizenship there was certainly nothing to show that he had applied for the citizenship illegally or that there was anything questionable in his actions. He made a straightfor- ward, clear statement of fact, the court held, and upon this the citizen- ship was granted. The decision Is expected to be of | far-reaching importance as affecting the statutes governing the creation of new citizens. OFFICIALS HERE SURPRISED. May Appeal to Supreme Court on De- cision Admitting Hindu. Officials of the Naturalization Bu- reau of the Labor Department today characterized as “very surprising” the decision by a court at San Francisco upholding the admission to American citizenship of Sajharam Ganesh Pan- dit, Hindu attorney, of Los Angeles. They sald it was the first of about 60 cases of the kind ever to reach a court of appeals and that the decision was the first to reverse the United tates Supreme Court ruling of 1923, in the case of Bhagat Thind, a Hindu, which held that Hindus were not ad- missible as citizens. In that decision the Supreme Court declared that under section 2169 of the Revised Statutes the naturaliza- tion laws applied only to free whites, aliens of *African nativity and per- sons of African descent. The Justice Department, it was sald. instituted be- tween 40'and 60 suits following the de- cislon for the purpose of having the naturalization laws conform with that section of the Revised Statutes. About 15 of these cases are still pending in the court i of Naturalization s _nst v case would be up to the Depart- ment of Justice. The latter probably will appeal the case to the Supreme Court. _— SEEKS SHARE IN ESTATE. Edenborn’s Daughter Declares Mil- lionaire’s Will Was Destroyed. ST.
