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. Just as

soon to become a naturalized
citizen because the Justice de
partment could not prove "he
was born out of the United
States." 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.

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.

Jaycees Slumped; Need Log Truck For Convention
Salem (UPI) - Oregon's
jaycees are stumped on their
plan to advertise Oregon and
the 1959 centennial next
month in Los Angeles, so Gov.
Robert D. Holmes issued an
appeal Thursday for someone
to break the "log-jam."
The Jaycees wanto to send
a long truck loaded with a
big Oregon fir for the parade
of states of the 1958 conven
tion in Los Angeles.
They have a qualified driv
er in Lawrence Feldschau,
Salem. They also have taken
care of the insurance prob
lems and have road clearances
between Oregon and Los An
geles. They have a promise
of a fuel supply. And they
even have parking spots for
display at San Francisco and
Los Angeles ready and wait
ing. But they need the loan of a
log truck and a 32-foot log.
The governor said he hoped
some lumber company would
come to the rescue of the
stumped Jaycees.
The log and truck would
have to leave for California
