HINDU ADMITTED AS AMERICAN CITIZEN

LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 7.—Brunettes as well as blondes are entitled to citizenship if they are Caucasians.

This was the decision of Superior Judge Morrison in the case of Sahkarem Ganesh Pandit, a high caste Hindu university graduate, doctor of laws and lecturer.

When he applied for citizenship papers the Hindu was informed by the federal authorities that he must prove his eligibility. Morrison pronounced the brief he filed to be the most complete and comprehensive he had ever seen.
