At the Naples Foreign Quarantine Station Dr. Franco Ermenegildo examines 1-year-old Elias West from Athens, Greece, who was adopted by Mrs. Bobby West of Clarksville, Tennessee. In the center is Mrs. Emma Germano, visa examination aide. Every day in the week hundreds of would-be American citizens entered United States quarantine offices in Europe for medical examinations to determine whether they were eligible for visas to enter this country.
