Butler University authorities and civic leaders, aided by Indianapolis newspapers, are investigating to determine whether any means exist of preventing deportation from the United States of Bernard Schlugasser, who until Tuesday afternoon was a student at Butler.
Schlugasser, a native of Lithuania, is on his way to New York in charge of immigration officials. His deportation was ordered when it was learned he had been tutoring in Hebrew and playing his violin for pay. This, it was explained, is in violation of regulations prohibiting an alien student receiving remuneration for work while in America.
Postmaster General New, Senators Wastson and Robinson and the American Civil Liberties Union have been asked to help.
