Case Loses Ground
Under New Ruling
San Francisco (U.R) Thegov
ernment's deportation ease
against crooner Dick Haymes
lost strength Saturday because
of a recent ruling of the Ninth
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
the case of an obscure Filipino
fisherman.
Haymes, Argentine-born hus
band of actress Rita Hayworth,
was arrested for deportation on
Aug. 6, 1953, a month after his
return from a whirlwind trip to
Hawaii during his courtship of
the film star.
He had previously been de
clared an alien ineligible for
citizenship because he allegedly
avoided the draft in 1944 by de
claring he waa a citizen of a
neutral country.
The U.S. Immigration Service
claimed Haymes tailed to get a
formal permit "to reenter the
country" upon his return from
Hawaii and thus was subject to
deportation under terms of the
McCarran-Walter Immigration
Act.
Case Undermined
However, the federal appellate
court in San Francisco under
mined the government's case
against the singer 12 days ago
when it handed down a decision
in a case parallel to the Haymes
situation.
The ruling, written by Circuit
Judge William Healy, reversed
a deportation order against Fili
pino fisherman Alejandro Raca
Alcantra, who left Seattle to go
to Alaska for the fishing season
and was picked up for deporta
tion upon his return.
The opinion, concurred in by
Circuit Judge Walter T. Pope
and District Judge Oliver 8.
Hamlin, held that a territory
was not "foreign soil" under the
meaning of the McCarran Act,
so that the fisherman could have
not been considered to have left
the United States.
Matter Of Exclusion
Judge Healy told the United
Press that if the Haymes case
was merely a matter of exclu
sion for illegal reentry from
Hawaii "then I see no reason
why the Alcantra decision would
not control that case."
At his Malibu Beach home
near Hollywood, Haymes, who
married Rita in a much -publicized
Las Vegas ceremony on
Sept. 24, 1953, was jubilant when
informed of the San Francisco
court's ruling.
"That's wonderful," he said.
"I will contact my lawyer in
Washington right away. If Judge
Healy went on record about that
ruling, it probably would apply
to mine."

U.S. Warned by
General Against
Stalemate Policy
Los Angeles U.R) Gen.
Nathan F. Twining, Air Force
Chief of staff, said Friday night
'there is nothing in history to in
dicate that the United States and
Russia could reach a "nuclear
stalemate," and he warned "we
must stay ahead to remain free."
Twining, in a pre-Armed Forc
es Day address before Los An
geles Rotarians, said he was sure
the United States was still ahead
of Russia in air power, but he
expressed concern over Soviet
advances in long range bomber
production.
Gives Real Concern
"The air plane that gives us
real reason for concern," he said,
"is the Soviet long range jet
heavy bomber. Last year they
showed us one. This year, in the
rehearsals for May Day, there
were flights of more of these
long range jets enough that
we have to accept a rate of pro
duction." Twining said, "They have the
ability to produce nuclear wea
pons and first-class aircraft to
carry them."
He also said the Russians have
started producing turbo-prop
aircraft this year, further up
setting the United States' esti
mate of their production capab
ilities. Scorns Stalemate
The general scorned the idea
of a nuclear stalemate. "There
is nothing in history to indicate
that stalemate is possible," he
said, and the problem facing the
United States is to stay ahead
and keep the lead in the arma
ment race.
A ban on nuclear weapons
alone, Twining said, would hand
the Soviets "a tremendous ad
vantage" because of their sup
erior numbers in manpower and
army materiel. Such a ban would
mean the Air Force would have
to triple or possibly quadruple its
Strategic Air Command.
