Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in the admin- istration of the immigration and naturalization laws the Secretary of Labor is hereby authorized and directed to cancel the warrant of arrest and the order of deportation against Pompeo Ercolano here- tofore issued on the grounds that on October 27, 1924, admission to the United States had been fraudulently gained pursuant to the commission of a passport or visa offense which, subsequent to such admission, has heretofore been held by the Attorney General of the United States to be within the purview of "crimes involving moral turpitude", and thereupon Pompeo Ercolano shall hereafter be deemed to have been lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence at New York, New York, on October 27, 1924. Any declaration of intention to become a citizen or any petition for citizenship heretofore filed by, or any admission to citizenship ordered and certificate of naturalization heretofore issued to, Pompeo Erco- ]ano, which were predicated upon the claim of lawful admission to the United States for permanent residence on October 27, 1924, shall hereafter be deemed valid unless the original seven-year period of validity of such declaration of intention has heretofore expired or Pompeo Ercolano has heretofore been found otherwise not eligible to such benefit under the naturalization laws. Approved, June 28, 1938. [CHAPTER 789] AN ACT For the relief of Elizabeth Vresh (Yalga Vres), her son Frederick Vresh, and her daughter Sylvia Vresh Bronowitz. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Labor is directed to cancel forthwith the outstanding warrant of arrest, order of deportation, warrant of deportation, and bond, if any, in the case of the aliens Elizabeth Vresh (Yalga Vres), her son Frederick Vresh, and her daughter Sylvia Vresh Bronowitz, and is directed not to issue any further such warrants or orders in the case of such aliens, insofar as such future warrants or orders are based on the unlawful entry of such aliens into the United States prior to the enactment of this Act, or on perjury or false statements in connection with such entry into the United States, or with any application hereto- fore made for a reentry permit or extension thereof. The said Fred- erick Vresh was twelve years of age and the said Sylvia Vresh Brono- witz was thirteen years of age at the time of entry. Both are now married to native-born American citizens and each have two children. Deportation warrants were never executed in these cases inasmuch as the Department of Labor has regarded them as so-called hardship cases. Hereafter, for the purposes of the immigration and naturaliza- tion laws, such aliens shall be considered to have been, at Buffalo, New York, on May 20,1924, lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Approved, June 28, 1938. June 28, 1938 [H. R . 4691] [Private, No. 801] Pompeo Ercolano. Cancelation of order of deportation, etc. Validation of certifi- cate of naturalization, etc.; conditions.
