NATURALIZATION PAPERS CANCELL ED AFTER 38 YEARS. Newark, N. J., May Thir ty-flve years after Frederick W. Wursterbarth, German born, ob tained American citizenship pa pers they were cancelled today by the federal court here. Wur sterbarth, who according to wit nesses, had refused to buy Liber ty bonds or contributa to Hod CrobS or Knights of Columbus funds, was recently removed as postmaster at Lake View, where he lives, because of alleged pro- Cirrnaj sympathies. Maj, Carl Lcutz, of Vewark, attorney for Wursterbarth, announced to night that he would appeal tho case, as the decision may affect tho citizenship of hundreds of thousands of naturali?ed Ameri cans. "It scorns," United States Judge Height said today, "that tho conclusion is irresistihlo that, at the time ho took tho oath of renunciation, he did so with a mental reservation as to tho country of hid birth and retained toward that country an allegi ance which the laws of this coun try required him to renounce." Washington, May 11. The sen ate today passed a bill designing to prevent rent profiteering dur ing tho war ln tho District of Columbia.
