NO PERMIT FOR ENTRY

FATHER AND £ON BOTH CHARGED (P.A.) AUCKLAND. Mar. 31. The problems of Addvar Henry Hansen, a young Norwegian seaman who took move than two years to come to New Zealand to rejoin his wife and son, did not end when his case was adjourned yesterday after he had been charged with entering the country without a permit and desertion from the Dutch ship Barendrecht. To-day he appeared as an interpreter for Ills father Kristian Adolf Hansen, 51, who pleaded guilty to a similar charge. The father and son were on the same ship, said Sub-Inspector Daly. The Collector of Customs (Mr McBeath) said that while in the case of the son it was not the policy of the Department to separate husband and Wife, he must aek for deportation of the father. Kristian Hansen told the Magistrate, Mr J. Molding, S.M., that he did not want to return to Europe because of the situation there. He asked to be allowed to leave on his own account without the stigma of deportation. Mr Molding remanded he case for one month to enable accused to make his own arrangements for returning to Norway. Bail was allowed.
