Never Been Done in Individual Cases

US Turns Down Morgan Citizenship Request

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (AP)—The request of William Morgan, Major in the Cuban Armed Forces, that he be permitted to continue in the service without losing his citizenship, was refused.
 

A spokesman of the State Department said that since January Morgan had asked special authorization, through the United States Embassy in Havana, to continue in the service without losing his citizenship. The law stipulates that loss when nationals of this country serve another nation.
 

Morgan was informed that although special authorization can be granted, it had never been done in individual cases and it would not be done in his.
