BIRD Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (CP) -- The case of Christian George Hanna is the outstanding example of methods used by undesirable persons to enter Canada as immigrants. _ Immigration department files contain hundreds of cases of per- sons who attempt to enter the country by swinging public opin- jon in their favor. They try to make it appear they are being deported without cause, and often succeed in finding sympathizers argue their case in public. These situations ¢ depart- ment in an awkward position be- cause its policy is not to make public the reasons for deporta. tion. However, the individaal in- volved, or his lawyez, in most cases knows the reasons but is careful not to divulge them to those supporting his cause. VARIOUS TYPES Such persons may be subver- sives, prostitutes, criminals, known Communists, gamblers, drug addicts and others who come to Canada as visitors or en- Jer illegally and then seek to re- main. , Hanna arrived at Port Alberni, B.C., in December, 1956, as a stowaway and said he was a yman without a country. His story tof lonely exile on the high seas igained the sympathy of thou- sands, including some members of Parliament. . Due to the pressure of public opinion he was granted permis- sion to land, although actually 'being inadmissible under immi- igration regulations. He was de- ported in October, 1958, after several brushes with the law. It was not until nine months later that Canadians learned Hanna had pulled off one of the ibiggest hoaxes in the history of {Canadian immigration. He was mot Christian George Hanna but tAhmed Aouad, an Egyptian citi- zen unable to meet immigration 'requirements. He had been able ito enter Canada by false pre- tences and might still be here thad he not run afoul of the law. In rare cases, when smarting 'under heavy criticism of the way it handled a case, the department breaks its own rule of not giving reasons for deportation. THE VOLCY CASE Such an instance occurred at the last session of Parliament. Immigration Minister Fair- clough said Jean Oreste. Volcy, a Haitian who had won a measure of public support for his efforts to remain in Canada, was de- ported in May because he had entered Canada as a student and taken a job contrary to immigra- tion regulations. Also, he had claimed three dependents for in- come tax purposes when he was ac a single. Later, after be- ing married, he claimed to be single. Undesirables who enter Canada #s visitors usually are deported because they lack an immigra- tion visa. This document is is- sued abroad to persons coming to this country as immigrants. Mrs. Fairclough s2id in an in- terview that persons entering Canada without visas are deliber- ately attempting to evade immi- gration regulations. In cases where entry has been refused she sometimes is '"bad- gered" by letters and phone calls from sympathizers. One depart- ment official said the minister often is subjected to a "mild form of persecution." RED REFUSED VISA In a recent case an individual was refused an immigration visa overseas on grounds that he was a Communist. He later entered Canada as a visitor by false re- presentation and then applied for permanent landing. « After he had been ordered de- ported he sought and received the support of several members of Parliament, church organizations and other public officials. The department replied only that he was being deported be- cause he did not possess an im- migration visa, The man's sup- porters were not told he was be- ing deported because he was a Communist. In cases where security is in- volved the department makes no mention of this because the in- formation it has usually comes from non-Canadian sources. It is given to Canada by the United Old Workers Top Quality OTTAWA (CP) -- A labor de- 'partment report released Thurs- iday says a survey has shown that older employees perform as twell as or better than younger yemployees. | The study was carried out in 'co-operation with large depart- 'ment stores in two major cities, iwhich were not identified, with a iview to assessing within one in- (dustry "the Jreqeent claim that 'as - chr 1 ad job performance declines." » "In general, the study has de- {termined that the older sales em- iployee has as good a record of © éperformance as the younger em- ployee," , a labor devartment statement says. "The older worker 'attained a higher perfor- 'mance rating within a shorter fperiod of service than the younger worker." LIST FINDINGS . Specific findings: + 1. By and large, older employ- ees, perform as well as or better than younger employees. 2, Performance improves with mage, within limits, even when flength of service is taken into ac- Jeount, 3. Peak performance in terms tween the age of 51 to 55. Beyond this point, while still comparing favorably with that of relatively young employees, it appears to level off or decline slightly. 4. Performance tends to im- prove with service, with the big- gest improvement occuring in the first three to five years for one store surveyed, and six to 10 years for another. fidential. immigration visas has been at- tacked by Toronto lawyer F. this is a violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms. the Ontrio Supreme Court re- cently quashed two such deporta- tion orders. He found them in- valid and described as a "farce" applying so earnestly to get from him." ORDERS APPEALED The immigration department now is appealing the two quash- ing orders. Mrs, Fairclough said deporta- tions are ordered only when the department is convinced the in- dividual should not be in Canada. Referring to general principles) and not to cases before the courts, Mrs. Fairclough said the department must have a legal de- vice to exclude undesirables. "The purpose of the Immigra- tin Act and regulations is two- fold," she said. "On the one hand, its purpose is to facilitate the admission of desirable per- sons as future citizens of Can- ada; on the other hand, to ex- clude undesirable ones. "The exclusion of undesirables is valid. Who would contend that Canada need not have an Immi- gration Act or regulations and should admit without formality all and sundry persons who wish to come to this country? Such a notion is too absurd to be enter- tained." It would be unjust to allow per- sons inadmissible as immigrants to gain permanent entry by the process of coming here under the pretext of a visit. This would be to condone illegality and would be unfair to those who seek entry by first obtaining an immigration visa. {West German leader has suc- States or Britain on the strict] ' understanding it will remain con-| Deportation of visitors without | Andrew Brewin on grounds that| | Mrs. Justice R.L.

Subject to the usual political qualifications, that seems to be one . certain conclusion to be drawn from Chancellor Aden- auer's three-day visit to London. After all the ialk last spring about the Rapacki Plan for a "denuclearized" zone in central Europe, after the countless var- iants on the theme of 'freezing of forces," it looks as though the highway. Unfortunately, a few days after Federal Republic of Germany and for the West in general. RESISTANCE STIFFENS In the absence of any clear stat to the trary, there seems to have been a stiffening of Allied attitudes toward conces- sions on the German problem, which is the core of the cold war. There was no sign of any new Western move in the statements the 83-year-old chancellor made Thursday in his London press conference. He appeared in good humor, as though pleased with the results of his talks with Prime Minister Macmillan. British officials have com- plained privately that these days they don't know where they stand with Ad his ceeded in burying the idea for good and all.

They have not had the experi- ence that has been built up over the years in the United States and Canada. Police officials de- clare that there are great perils in the manner in which drivers of fast cars pull out to overtake slow cars and also in the prac- tice of parking on the verge of the new road. Two of the fatal accidents occurred as a result of trucks pulling on to the side of the road, but leaving part of the hicle on the travelled portion, trolled limitation of ar is." But ever since his trip to Mos- cow last February, he has shown increasing sympathy for some method of defusing the trouble spots of central Europe. Now it is agreed that the idea carries too much political dynamite for the mind so often. There was no sign of any indecision in his press con- ference. Reporters looked in vain for any hint of new German policy. A few weeks ago, the chancellor spoke cryptically of the need for West Germans to "liquidate the consequences" of the Second World War. The reference was in- terpreted as a pointer to a more / |flexible attitude on the German- Polish frontier question. #i| Adenauer had a reassuring word for those who feel that the « new Europe may endanger the 4 | Atlantic alliance. #| Replying to a reporter's ques- tion, the chancellpr said the new economic groupings in Euro) will not cause any difficulties to NATO; that "ways and means" could be found to avoid a split.

Robert Burns, school director, said negotiations between the health department and the school are continuing. About, 500 nursing assistants have been graduated gince the Ontario government in- 5. The advantage in perfor- mance gained with experience applies as much to older em- ployees as to younger ones, and perhaps more. NATURAL SELECTION The report says that it is probable the degree of selectivity in hiring increases with the age of applicants and that as the pe- riod of service lengthens a pro- cess of natural selection weeds out employees who do not meas- ure up. On the other hand, promotions and separations undoubtedly re- moved from the sales staff some of the better, more aggressive employees. "Most of these considerations are not thought to be too im- portant, however, inasmuch as they would apply in virtually any of age seems to be reached be- employment Situation," does not like the afraid it would undermine the branch's influence and control in the training of nursing assistants.
