Attorney General Knox informs William Loeb that the Justice Department does not have the authority to increase naturalization facilities in New York as requested by William Halpin. Judges from the southern district of New York have rejected the idea of appointing commissioners to handle more naturalization cases. Knox suggests that judges from other New York districts might be asked to help handle the surplus.
