Dissenting also, Justice Machintosh said “A careful reading of Mr. Oppen- heimer's report leaves me with the impression that from a necessarily in- complete study of a relatively small portion of the deportation cases, in- stances of abuse have received over- smphasis and inferences of abuse have been indulged i where a full knowl- edge of all the Tacw would justify the results obtained. I do mot believe: that these laws are being so negligently or abusively administered as this report seems to indicate. To believe otherwise I would require more clear, cogent, and convincing evidence than has been 80 _far offered.” He added that he did not believe that “the difference between a judicial and an administrative function” had been kept as clearly in mind as it should have been. All the formalities of a criminal ifivestigation are not mecessary in a deportation proceeding, he said, although, he emphasized, “this does not relieve the Government | from an obligation of fairness and just dealing.” He also opposed the setting up of an in“ependent tribunal, seeing it as a useless appendage, to governmental machinery.

A native of Richmond, | where she was born December 11, 1869, the daughter of Charles and Virginia Cuthbert Powell Minnigerode, Mrs Andrews studied art first at the Cor- coran Gallery’s School. Eliphalet Fraser Andrews was director of the school then, and the talented Virginia girl | became his bride in September, 1805. Mrs. Andrews continued her studies there, however, and in 1899 she won the Corcoran gold medal. Founded Club Here. Subsequently, Mrs. Andrews worked | under Willlam M.

A change in the law to allow exercise of some discretion in cases where unde- servéd hardship is worked, also is de- sirable, in the jurist’s opinion. Inflexibility Is Criticized. Much of the report was devoted to eriticism of the inflexibility of the de- portation laws and the rigid rulings Oppenheimer said often were made under them. At the outset, Oppenheimer points out that more than 90,000 aliens have ‘been deported from this country under warrant proceedings in the past 10 years, and that for the six years that records have been kept, more than 95,000 subject to deportation have been allowed to depart voluntarily. The number of aliens unlawfully in the country, he said, has been variously estimated between 400,000 to 3,000,000. ‘The right to deport undesirables is unquestioned, he sald, this class con- stituting a problem that is “particularly acute” in times of economic depression. On the other hand, Oppenheimer con- tinues, “the processes of dgportation may involve the most important of human rights.” “The proportion of deportees who are members of the criminal or immoral classes hhmw;nuly small: m&n persons who are deported are guilty only of technical violations of our laws,” he says. “While there is some little discretion, however limited, in effecting deporta- tion,” it is pointed out, “once an alien is expelled he is forever from readmission to this country.” ‘Then the report adds: “The absence of discretionary power, both in the de- portation of aliens and the readmis- of aliens who have been hereto- fore deported, has had results which should not tolerated in a civilized %fih\h“ that approximately 100, aliens come annually under in: tion &5 to their right to be in this country, the report mflmb.: tioning by the local immigration of- ficial, which is characterized as “the entire basis for the deportation pro- ceedings.’ “This examination,” it continues, personal morality. In a hr“e propor- tion of these examinations the suspect is nmot apprised of any rights that he may bave. In many of the cases the statements are not given voluntarily, but are the result of fear, of restraint of liberty, and in some cases of duress. These preliminary examinations are not only the principal ground for sub- aequent deportation but often them- seives form the basis for criminal Pprosecutions.” in this connection. declaring that no Tedesal officer has the right to extort @ confession, the report says that “duress need mnot take the form of physical violence to be illegal,” quoting in substantiation of this a Supreme Court ruling in the celebrated local case of Ziang Sun Wan, who finally won his freedom in the Chinese Edu- cational Mission murders several years &go. after being condemned to die “There is strong ground for the belief that many of the statements taken from the supposed aliens are ex- torted by methods both {llegal and unfair,” it is asserted. ‘The report points out also that many of those subjected to this probe are either American citizens or aliens legally in this country. If preliminary investigation justifies —sometimes without this preliminary examination, ft is charged—the in- spector applies for a warrant of arrest. ‘This must be issued in Washington ‘Then, when another hearing is held, this time to determine if a deportation warrant is to be asked, the suspect is allowed to have counsel.

Among the written works of the talent- ed woman is “My Studio Window.” It is a book concerning Washington per- sonages whom Mrs. Andrews knew per- sonally and whom she observed from | her studio at her Washington house 1232 Sixteenth street. This work bears many silhouettes from the writer’s pen and brush. Another of her better known books is sion. “George Washington’s Country and “Scraps of Paper” also were writ- ten by Mrs. Andrews. Virtually all of her writings were extremely popular. It is said by her friends that one of | her books was so much in demand. | even before it was published, that the writer herself was uoable to secure a first edition copy. Several pageants bearing testimony MRS. M. MINNIGERODE ANDREWS. to Mrs. Andrew’s wealth of knowledge of Colonial history also came from her prolific pen. These include “The Cross Triumphant,” “Thomas Jefferson,” “The Master Builders,” “Our Common Heri- tage “Joan of Arc." Her knowledge of Virginia's history and her interest in things Colonial lead Mrs. Andrews to participate in many movements for preservation of Virginia antiquities. She was the dominant fig- ire in the successful efforts to purchase Monticello, the home of Thomas Jeffer- son. She was, in fact, attending a his- torical celebration at Charlottesville when stricken with her final illness. She was, for a short time, & patient at the University Hospital before she was brought to Senimary Hills three weeks ago. A complication of diseases pre- sented too great en obstacle to recovery, however, and a relapse at her son's home led to her death. Mrs. Andrews was & member of the ‘Washington Water Color Club, the Co- lonial Dames and the English-Speaking Union. She also was a member of the board of directors of the Thomas Jef- ferson Memorial Foundation. Mrs. Andrews is survived by her son, with whom she lived, and three grand- children, Mary Lord Andrews, 3 Helen Tucker Andrews and Carter Ran- dolph Andrews. She is survived also by three sisters and four brothers, Miss Lucy Minnigerode and Miss Anne Min- nigerode of Washington, Mrs. William Butler of Santiago, Chile; C. Powell Minnigerode, director of the Corcoran Gallery of Art: George Minnigerode and Capt. Karl Washington of Baltimore. | any country willing to receive them. Another effect of such rulings was declared to be that “many persons are permanently separated from their American familles, Wi results that ;flollu the plainest dictates of human- | ty.” | In the course of his findings, Oppen- heimer said that it would be “highly unfair charge these defects and abuses” entirely to the Department of Labor, and that the fauit lay largely with the deportation system itself. It was in his summation that he de- clared “the apprehension and examina- | tion of nugpmd aliens are often rhlr-‘ acterized by methods unconstitutional, tyrannic and oppressive,’ and that | “there is strong reason to believe that in many cases persons are deported | when further development of the facts or proper construction of the law would have shown their right to remain.” Among his other suggestions for bet- ter practices were that the “caliber of immigration inspectors and patrolmen should be raised; that more co-operation be sought between Federal and local | authorities, particularly in the cases of en criminals, and that more provision bs made for furnishing aliens with at- torneys. “The agencies preventing unlawful entry into this country should be strengthened. The personnel of the border patrol should be increased and the consular officers abroad should take further steps to see that the applicants | for visas resalize that unlawful attempts to enter this country are g\lniflhlble by fine and imprisonment,” he added. He also argued for discontinuance of raids which constitute alien round-ups without warrants, Oppenheimer’s study was based pri- marily on the figures for the fiscal year 1928-9. He studied, in all, 453 cases, involving 496 persons. This number was arrived &t by taking every twentieth case, in chronological order, from the | deportation files of the Department of bor for a part of the year, and every fiftieth case for the rest of the 12 months. In this manner, he said, he believed a representative cross-section of the 12,008 deportations that year was obtained. The Commissioner of Immi- gration and the Secretary of Labor ex- tended every possible co-operation in the study, Oppenheim said. He ex- plained that he bolstered his study of the records by interviews with officials, | organizations and attorneys connected with inforcement of the laws, by vari- ous reports, by personal investigation at hearings and by correspondence which either covered particular questions he had asked or volunteered information He points out, too, that while this report was being made, independent studies on the deportation of aliens were in progress by n William C. Van Vleck of George Washington University Law School and by Miss Jane Perry Clark, instructor in government o Barnard College. After completing his | own report, he perused both of these | studies, and, "so far as the three re- | ports deal with the same aspects of the | deportation proceedings, their findings | of facts are substantially the same The brief draft of the commission itself, which, with the dissenting opin- fons, constituted a foreword to Oppen- heimer’s study, characterized as falla- cious the current notion that America’s forelgn-born population was responsible for the Nation's crime wave “From other studies commission,” it said, “the str | hood appears that the foreign the United States can be definitely onerated from the charge that who_decides if a deportation t should be issued majority of cases, 1t is de- the Board of Review acts in with the recommendations of the inspector, and the official to whom the board’s report goes usually follows its advice. The danger of such a line of pro- cedure is emphasized by the which says that “in some of the cases the record itself shows that the ex- amining inspector has made up his mind that the alien should be de- ported and is doing everything pos- sible to accomplish that end “In many of the cases the demeanor of the examining inspector is courteous and often kind,” the report says. “On the other hand, it seems clear that in s mm]oflty of instances the alien be! that he is under compulsion report, | have been responsible for a | tionate share of the crime the country.” Of Oppenheimer's study, it said that “happily” he had found “nothing wors than the kind of v i pected deportee which occas sults where men untrained became. too zealous as prosecut main judicial as judges “Plainly,” the commission added, “there shouid intervene in this process | a judicial body independent of the de- | partment charged with the adminis | tive features of the inforcement of law “Such a court or commission thus would be wholly disassociated from the discovery and prosecution of deporte:s. To such a court appeals should be east prosecuted It should hear. in open court and in the presence of the accused, all evidence j upon which the final judgment is to be predicated.

By the Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain, August 8.— ‘With the greatest secr:cy surrounding his movements, Provisional President Macia has called a meeting of Catalo- nians tomorrow which is expected to formulate & definit> attitude in case the central government should fall to grant the province sutonomy, it was learned today. Following an overwhelming vote in favor of the autonomy statute, Macia declined all intcrviews, but it was au- thoritatively learned he has been sub- jected to great pleasure on the part of radicals wishing absolute separation from Spain and others who adopted a more conciliatory attitude. He was understood to have secretly conferred with leaders of various groups, who insist that the statute must be accepted by Madrid in its entirety and who are said to have proclaimed their willingness to fight for their ideals. Un- til a few days before the vote he was und-rstood to have favored the same principles. Col. Macia’s secretary said the Pres- ident was undecided concerning a visit to Madrid to present the statute and described his hesitancy as due to un- willingness to lay himself open to a! hostile reception which is already her- alded by Madrid press comments on the voting. Jd Col Macia recelve an unfa- vorabl® reception, it was said, the people of Catalonia would be inclined to accept the fact as an unfriendly act in “a dip- lomatic sense.” At any rate, the Cata- lonians are determined to present the statute to the National Assembly early next week, and they hope that tomor- row's meeting will result in a solid front toward possible opposition from Madrid.

They expect to fly first to Shami- shiro Beach, 380 miles north of here for the take-off with the 900 gallons of gasoline they believe necessary to com- plete the 4400-mile trip across the North Pacific. After difficulties had so _interfered with their round-the-world flight as to make it virtually impossible to lower the record of Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, they flew here to compete for the $35. 000 prize offered by the Japanese news- paper Asahi Shimbun for the first con- tinuous flight from Japan to America.
