Description

In this letter, dated April 3, 1946, from interned German national Richard Auras to United States Senator William Langer and U.S. Attorney General Tom Clark, Auras explains that he is interned at Ellis Island awaiting repatriation to Germany under the Alien Enemy Act of 1798, but that such repatriations are currently halted pending court action to test the validity of the Act.

Given these circumstances, and the possibility that the court action will take a long time, Auras proposes that he be allowed to return to San Francisco to complete the course of study in chiropractic at Sierra States University that was interrupted when he was arrested and interned in December of 1942.
