Japanese Gives Up as Deserter

Sakaichi Katsura, 32-year-old Japanese, surrendered voluntarily Friday night to immigration officers, saying he entered the United States illegally thirteen years ago.

Katsura told R.P. Bonham, district director of the Immigration & Naturalization Service, that he surrendered himself for fear he would be caught and dealt with severely for failing to register as an alien last year.

The Japanese, a seaman, deserted the Havre Maru in Bellingham in 1929, he said. Bonham said it had not been determined whether he would be charged for failing to register or whether he would be interned for the duration.
