This is an appeal by an alien from the dismissal of his сomplaint seeking a declaration that hе is eligible for relief from deportation under § 4 оf the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 1 or under § 6 of the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. 2 *29 Appellant’s deportability is not in dispute.
We do not subscribe to all that is said either in the District Court’s memorandum opinion or in the decisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service on appellant’s applications for relief. But a review of the record leads inescapably to the conclusion that appellant’s last residence was in Italy in the city of Trieste. Appellant’s testimony in the deportation hearings in 1951 and in the hearing on his Displaced Persons Act appliсation in 1952 establishes that he left his home in Briani in 1939, and that his permanent home between 1939 and 1946 was in Trieste; appellant’s wife and child still live in Trieste. Acсordingly, we think it plain that neither on his Displaced Persons Act application nor on his Refugeе Relief Act application has apрellant carried his burden of showing that he will be subject to persecution “on account of rаce, religion, or political opinion” in thе country of his birth (Yugoslavia), and in the country of his nationality (undetermined), and in the country of his last residenсe (Italy).
Affirmed.
