The present| Law Interpreted to Count Two Years Against Byrd Companion. | Shipstead and Admiral Work for Bill to Speed Nat- uralization. NEW YORK, August 16 (N.AN.A).— |Blond Bernt Balchen, flying genius | who has done so much to advance the prestige of American aviation, dis- | covers to his puzzied surprise that the country of his adoption is in no hurry whatsoever to admit him to full citi- zenship. This shock-headed, stout-hearted chap, who flew across the Atlantic with Admiral Byrd in 1927, carrying the | American flag to France, and who is just back from two gallant years with the Byrd expedition in the Antarctic, finds that those two years have been scored against him. “I had hoped and expected to get my final papers in 1931,” he explained today, with good-natured ruefulness, “but now they tell me that my two | years in the Antarctic broke the' re- lquired five years' continued residence in the United States. They say I'll a |have to wait two more years before I become a citizen.” Friends Are Surprised. Equally as surprised as Halchen are the fyer's friends, who say that as that part of the Antarctic where Byrd planted his flag was claimed for the United States, Balchen's five years un- der the American flag actually were not_interrupted. | “Balchen, who was born in Norway, took out his first papers in 1927, just before_his flight across the Atlantic with Byrd. One of the stipulations {made by Rodman Wanamaker, who | financed the flight, was that all the | men_on the ship must be Americans. “That wasn't really the reason I took out my first papers, however,” said Balchen. “I took them out because I wanted to be a citizen of the United States.” Baichen had expected to take out |his second papers in 1931, when he would have more than completed five years’ . continuous residence in the |Tnited States, aceording to his reck- {oning, and then, very recently, came the Iu‘nhnppy news from the Department o But Balchen hasn't given up hope of becoming a fullyfledged citizen next year.

Crist Speaks for Two Flyers. Raymond F. Crist, commissioner of naturalization, who himself has handled Bernt Balchen’s case, says the situation means even more than a two-year delay if the law is strictly followed. the law, he points out, absence from the country for a year or more causes the applicant to lose his residence for naturalization purposes, and he has to 1l over again, even making a new tion of intention. This would a five-year delay. alchen is not alone in his plight. Another of the Byrd expedition, John Buys, a Hollander, is in a like situation. Buys was an able seaman on the voyage to and from the Antarctic. Commis- sioner Crist says he talked with both men when they were here at a recep- tion given the Byrd party, and explain- ed the law to them and what would be required. Crist has conferred with members of Congress in their behalf.

It has also been broadened to um]uda future cases, but the Department of Labor opposes this Hbtl‘l)lx!nl of the original bill The result expected, Crist says, is that the broader provision probably will be knocked out to elim- inate those who come in hereafter, but | that Balchen' and Buys will receive legislative relief through the passage of the Bloom measure in its earlier form.
