candidate Mrs. Pat Gordon Pamplin to stay in Bermuda for an indefinite period.

Mrs. Gordon Pamplin said yesterday she had been informed that Home Affairs Minister the Hon. J. Irving Pearman had placed a stay on an order for her American husband, Dennis, to leave Bermuda until he reviewed the case. Mr.

Pamplin was earlier told that he would have to leave Bermuda by September 10.

But Mrs. Gordon Pamplin, the daughter of civil rights activist Dr. E.F. Gordon and the sister of Youth and Sports Minister the Hon. Pamela Gordon, has vowed to fight to the end to remain with her family in Bermuda.

In addition to hiring lawyer Mr. Wendell Hollis, she has thrown her hat into the political ring to challenge Mr. Pearman's Warwick East seat and she has created a Bermudian women's rights group -- The Alliance for the Protection of Rights of Bermudian Women.

Mrs. Gordon Pamplin said Mr. Hollis -- a United Bermuda Party candidate -- had sent several documents to Mr. Pearman, including a letter suggesting that the foreign husband of a Bermudian woman should be entitled to the same treatment as the foreign wife of a Bermudian man.

She also noted that discrimination was illegal and that Immigration policies on employment stated that a non-Bermudian resident whose spouse was Bermudian could seek employment without Immigration permission.
