Biography
Paul Yuditch was the labor editor of the Yiddish-language daily Morning Freiheit. Immigration authorities arrested him for deportation on February 20, 1951 and held him without bail on Ellis Island. A federal judge later ordered his release on $5,000 bail after he had spent 17 days in custody.
Calculated release date for the stay beginning February 20, 1951: March 9, 1951, adding the recorded completed custody duration of 17 days with elapsed-calendar-day counting. This is a calculated date from the recorded admission and duration, not a separately documented physical-discharge date.

Late-1952 reports identify Paul Yuditch among the newspaper workers detained on Ellis Island after cancellation of bail. This is a later recommitment following the separately documented 1951 arrest and release on bail. The October 27 Naujienos and December Jewish Life disagree on the exact timing, so only the year is recorded. January 1953 reporting says Judge John F. X. McGohey ordered bail for Yuditch and three others; the order alone is not proof of physical release.
