finger Printing
OF U. 5. ADVOCATED.
Congress to Consider Bill Spon-
sord BY EnriSht
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington, Oct. - Congress
will consider the ACCESSIBILITY OF
having the nation finger-printed.
Polica Commissioner Enright OF
New York proposes Il. He wants
the government put In charge OF
the job and would have the prirls
kept on file by a national police
bureau In Washington.
It would be an easy way, he
says, of enabling the authorities OF
keep tab on tho citizenry. some
times to It's advantage and some
times otherwise, depending on how
II behaves itself.
Such a system already exists IN
Argentina, where 1t works well,
Ertight adds.
Very true, only the system isn't
confined to Argentina. It prevails
In several South American coun-
tries and some European ones
It's fact, however, that the
Argcntines have developed It very
scientifically and tactfully, too,
or the people mightn't like 1t so
we'll. for at first thought there's
something distinctly disagreeablo
shout the idea of being finger
printed and mugged
As the Argentine authorities put
It, the finger printing is for the
printees own convenience and by
no means as a police precaution'
although the police do the print
Ing.
It isn't compulsory, so far as the
law is concerned, but practical
business considerations have MADE
It very nearly so. Indeed, the po'
lice make small charge -
dollar or two for doing The
work.
In return for this fee A 4-by-e
inch slip of parchment is issued 'e
the applicant, bearing brief MS
tory OF his life. his address, sigma
ture. photograph and right thum
print with the police chiefs Ger
tifcate that he has investigated al
these details and guarantees thei
accuracy.
The whole thing folds into
neat little red leather vcstpocket
size booklet and Is known as
"cedua de identidad," or identih
cation ticket. A corresponding rec
ord Is kept at police headquarters
Rad characters can't get thes
hooks. So possession OF one is
recommendation in itself. tn
bearer can identify himself - 10
instance, At strange banks $500 any
where in the republic by fshin

TO tell who he IL,
"Cedulas," being so much
hAslit, are in constant requis''iol
- In cases where ahsolutel

Importance. -.
The point is, however, that IN
individual who is asked for one an

kance immediately.
The Argentine police. no MOI

concerned. At any rate, they almo
