This is an exclusive photo of Mrs. Elly Rometsch who, according to a Republican congressman, was suddenly called back to her home in West Germany last August. Rep. H.R. Gross, R-Iowa, said in a House speech that "members of Congress and the public are entitled to know whether there was any element of security violation" in the "unpublicized" departure of the 27-year-old woman. Gross demanded that the Administration disclose facts about the "deportation" of the woman. (Editors: this photo was made in the spring of 1963 in washington.)
