United, States border patrols
and customs men were ordered
Tuesday night to prevent , any
of the 330,000 German nationals
in the United States from leav
ing the. country "pending fur
ther instructions." !i
The official explanation given
was that the government wanted
to assure compliance with Pres
ident Roosevelt's order "freezing"
a a a a. .. .. .MAA
and forbidding their removal with
out permission.
However, other reasons were
hinted at One official pointed 6ut
that the restrictions would , give
the government an opportunity to
rnntrnl the movement of Germans
into Mexico and South America.
There was known also to be,
some concern among officials
' regarding the possibility of re
' prlsals abroad for recent United
States steps affecting Germany.
Some government men ex-,
- pressed belief it would be well
to establish a "status quo" con-
' cernlng German nationals here
until the situation is clarified.
" The order went forward through
the customs and immigration ser
vices. They were told to "cover
all possible means of departure,
including vessels, trains, buses,
airplane and international bor
der roads so that no German ha-
tlonal may leave the country
