ALIENS OUGHT ID
 BE REGISTERED
This Is Opinion Put Forth by
 .IHdge Olson

1hlcaEo, May 26 (AP) --- The
 subcommittee on selectlve immi-
 grafton of the eugenics committee
 of the United States today an-
 nounced It's recommendation con-
 corning alien entrance Into tho
 country, all of which have to do
 "ith the enforcement Of existing
 avs or with changes in these laws
 which the committee said could be
 made without altering the funda-
 mental legislation already enacted.
 The report was made public here by Harry Olson. chief justice Of the municipal courts, and member Of the committee.
 Our immigration laws should at all times be rlgidly enforced" said he report, ''and all border-line cases. which are mostly those liable jo become public charges for medi- ca reasons, should be debarred un- less there is very strong evidence Tn favor of admission. Appeal from adHere decisions of the boards of pecial inquiry should rarely be sus- ialned, and all appeal decisions should be based on evidence only, as the law intended, and not on per sonal representation or political lnnucpce.
 Aliens should no longer be ad- lntted on bonds. They should either come in clear, or. If they are unfit, should not come in at all. The s'eamship companies should be held strictly accountable for making the preliminary examination before en- barkation which the law requires, and they should be fined in every ease in which 1t appears that an alien has been brought here who is tnadmlssihle under the law, and whose inadmissibility could have been detected by a proper examina- | ton at the port of departure.
 "Registration of aliens should be required by law. The time limit for deportation of insane and other eu- Grnically undesirab ble aliens who, from causes not afflrmatively shown to have arisen subsequent to entry into the United States, have bccom. members of these classes, should be removed. Higher physical stand ards and, q recommended by this , committee in It's first report, higher mental standards should be required of all aliens"
 Concerning the Immigration Act of 1924, the committee said 1t should be maintained and strength ~ned In such respects as experience in practice shall indicate to be nec- essary for the fulfllment of it's fundamental purposes"
 The extension Of quota limita- lions to the countries of the western hemisphere is both logical and necessary. To break down our pres ent law in order to admit more la bor' woudl undermine its funda- mental purposes and put immigra- lion back on a purely economic basis" ,....
 The requirements of registration. according to the report, would greatly simplify the process of and naturalization. There is no hardship or indignity in this for any alien who is right fully here. The objection to the plan comes chiefly from those who get rich by smuggling in illegal im- migrants and from the aliens al. ready here who live by exploiting their more recently arrived fellow Countrymen."
 The warrant of arrest in all cases of deportation of insane or other wise eugenically undesirable aliens should be issued by the commits sioner of immigration or other re- sponsible officer ot the district in which the alien is & resident, com tInued the report, instead of being issued by the department In Wash ington.
 The secretary of labor should he directed in all cases where 1t is intended to cancel warrant, or to deportation, to give the officer issuing a certificate an op- portunity 10 be heard, either in per son or by letter, before final action is taken"
