r 19 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon. Friday, Mar 30, 1958 Romanoff Story Related Citizenship Big Problem By HAZEL K. JOHNSON UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood Sorry, Mike, but citi2enship or no citizen ship, it just isn't a Prince Mi chael Romanoff story if you don't mention Harry Gergu son. And you can't mention Gerguson without resurrect ing at least a little, bit of his flamboyant history. "I don't know why you people bother to talk to me," the 60-ish Beverly Hills res taurateur said with just the hint of a well-bred sigh. "All you do is re - write the "morgue" you just pull out my file and go into this Harry Ferguson or Gerguson busi ness or whatever his name is." And a quick look at the files turns up a wealth of colorful material about a man "Puts Mosquitoes Into A Taiispin" Said Circle Placer fields miners, 20 year ao, in-toting BLHACH Science's 2nd greatest contribution to Miners.

Neither could Ro manoff prove he was born in the U.S. in 1893. Citizenship Important "To most people citizenship is academic," Romanoff said. "But to one who is stateless it becomes a very, very im portant thing. This week climaxes a long, expensive effort for me to become a U.S. citizen. "Since 1912 I've spent $38, 000 trying to prove that I was born in New York," he said. "I've spent seven years of my life in prisons and have been accused of almost every crime in the world. It has made me very humble and I'm not a humble man. I'm an arrogant man. He first sought citizenship in 1922 after arriving here from Europe. Turned down, he was ordered deported but escaped from custody and was apprehended in 1924. He disappeared from sight in 1925 and seven years later again applied for citizenship after arriving on the He de France as a stowaway. Deported in 1932 Deported to France in May, 1932, he returned to U.S. the same year, again believed to have stowed away. He claimed he had left the country uniiv tenuonany when he went to see some friends embark and remained aboard the ship. De poriauon proceedings were begun once again but subse quently were dropped. t congress cleared the way lor mm to become a citizen this month when it passed and sent to President Eisenhower a bill which declared Roman off, also known as Harry Ger guson, shall be considered to have been "lawfully admitted" to the United States as of De cember, 1932. The President obliged and Mike (and-or Harry Gerguson or Ferguson) immediately filed for naturalization papers ex' pected to be granted within a month.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE New Law Needed For Federal Loan On Unemployment Salem (UPI) Oregon may be unable to take advant age of federal loans to extend unemployment compensation benefits, Mrs. Ceclia Galey, chairman of the State Unem ployment Compensation com mission said Thursday. Mrs. Galey based her re mark on an earlier opinion by Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton that the state would have to have specific legisla tive authorization to obtain money from the government under the Reed act. The state already has bor rowed 14 million dollars un der the Reed act to bolster its unemployment compensation fund. The bill now awaiting the President's signature author izes the government to make grants to states for extension of unemployment benefits. But Mrs. Galey said that the two situations were so comparable that she felt the attorney general would rule that Oregon had no authority to take advantage of the grants. "I think that in view of the ruling it's quite likely we can't take advantage of the bill," she said. She said she plans to ask Thornton for an opinion. . Some 21,000 Oregon resi dents have exhausted their unemployment benefits.
