An immigration Service hearing will be held later this month for a former secretary in Peabody Museum, Mrs Irwin Swerdlow, wife of a teaching fellow in English.
Mrs. Swerdlow was apprehended by officials of the Immigration Service on December 16 while she was working in the Peabody office of Hallam L. Movius, lecturer on Anthropology.
She was detained at the Service's Boston offices on charges of violating immigration laws. Neither the Immigration Services nor Mrs. Swerdlow, however, would comment last night on the exact nature of these charges.
Joseph Gary, an immigration Service official, said yesterday that Mrs. Swerdlow was released on $2000 ball on December 17. Gary said she will go before a hearing examiner in the near future and that the examiner's findings will be sent to Washington for a decision.
Mrs. Swerdlow has not returned to her job since her release.
