TWO ASSESSED FINES
ON TRAFFIC CHARGES
William Bruce Taylor, 17, of a
Medford Star Route, eh a r Rod with
violation of the basic traffic rule.

court Monday. Taylor was charged
with driving at a reckless speed, in
a thick fog, at an early morning
hour.
Klmbra Est. Phoenix, charged
with operating an auto with no ope
rator's licence, wan assessed 3 50 and
costs.
A shining city reared skyward In
the bright November morning . . .
giant chromium towers that dwarfed
a dozen trans-Atlantic liners clasped
like fingers around the waterfront
robe of Manhattan.
"Look the Statue of Liberty 1"
The young Immigrant, wearing the
gay-colored native dress of hts Eu
ropean fatherland, spoke In a voice
of awed exult ance.
Eagerly, hla eyea swept from the
red-brio detention buildings of
EUts Island, the teeming portal to
America, and gazed steadily at the
green-tinged figure with torch flung
aloft, rising from the middle of the
bay.
Freedom!
"It means freedom, the young
immigrant said. He repeated It softly,
u though the word had a strange
savor on his tongue. "Freedom I"
At his side, proudly erect, a white
haired old man stared moodily. He
looked at the young peasant's toll
hardened hands, and at his own
well-groomed fingers.
In hla pockets, he Jingled a few
silver coins all that was left; and
thinking of the btg home and tidy
fortune he had possessed until
few short weeks ago, he recalled bit
terly that on the visa application
describing the purpose of his visit to
the United States he had written
"Pleasure."
He shrugged. Homeless, broke,

Freedom." the young man had said
"You are right," he told the youth
gontly. "And It Is something to be
nappy about."
Typical Scene
The scene was typical of scores
enacted dally on Ellis Island as thou
sands who had fled troubled condl-
tions in europe arrive for a new
start In America an endless stream
of refugees from Germany, Austria,
Poland. Italy, Czechoslovakia and
other centers of strife.
German refugees have already over-
flooded the 1038-39 quota restric
tions, with the tremendous surplus
gaining admission on visitors' vlaas
and biding their time in some cases
for years to leave and re-enter with
permanent permits.
Legally forbidden to employ them
selves gainfully, the hapless outcast
seeking temporary haven must de
scribe their visits as "pleasure," how
ever destitute after being forced to
leave their savings and property be
hind. Relatives and friends, in a ma
jority of cases, bond them against
becoming public charges since de
partment store workers and others
have protested to Immigration au
thorities agalnnt the hiring of Immi
grants and the firing of citizens.
One-Fourth May Work
Only those arriving on permanent
vlsos and they are only one-fourth
of the total are allowed to aeek
employment.
More than 300 Immigrants are
held every day at Ellis Island while
authorities Investigate their appli
cation to enter. In the big deten
tion quarters, far more comfortably
furnished than the usual Institution,
refugees of many nationalities sit
silently awaiting their hearings.
Soil-tilling pen Milts and one- well-to-do
merchants, artlHta and busi
nessmen rub shoulders, filled with
a common hope and fear. Little
boys and girls squirm restlessly on
chairs and benches. Infants cry
plaintively In a little cuhlcle cur
tained off from the rest of the great
hall In which they spend their days
reading, playing cards, talking.
When the buezer sounds, unlock
ing the door Into the detention ball,
the Interned turn expectant eyea to
ward the entrance. Their faces fall
unless the Tlsltor la a friend or
relative coma to help la their efforts
to enter the country.
