Deportation of
Costello Sought
New York. Feb. 16 W Rob
ert Montgomery, film actor and
radio commentator, nas assea
the government to revoke the
U.S. citizenship of Gambler
Frank Costello, a native of
Italy.
Montgomery contends Costel
lo was a bootlegger for years be
fore he became a citizen in 19Z5.
Montgomery declared in a fe
deral court affidavit yesterday
that Costello committed fraud
when he swore during citizen
ship proceedings that he was a
person "of good moral charac
ter." '
Costello, speaking through a
lawyer, said:
"In obtaining citizenship in
1925, I committed no fraud. My
naturalization proceedings were
started in 1923 27 years ago.
This recent attack on me is a
cheap, hammy stunt by a form
er movie actor turned bad ra
dio commentator who is evident
ly desperately in need of publi
city." Montgomery's affidavit asked
U.S. Attorney Irvin H. Saypol
to begin proceedings to revoke
Costello's citizenship. If the re
vocation is ordered, deportation
proceedings could be started
against the gambler.
