COMPUTING ALIEN
 TAX IS PROPOSED
Workers Live Across Border,
 Work in States \

Washington, Nov. 27 (Pt-A regu lation to compel aliens working in tho United States to reside in this country instead of living in Canada or Mexico is under consideration by the labor department.
 The proposed regulation would impose a $l0 visa and an $S head tax on each alien for every trip made into the United States from either Canada or Mexico.
 It would affect several thousand aliens along the Canadian and Mex iCan borders who are employed in the United States but who live with their families in Canada or Mexico where living conditions were said to be cheaper.
 G,136 in Detroit Area
 It was said at the labor depart ment that in the Detroit area alone G.7%6 aliens admitted to the United States have gone back to Canada to establish their residence.
 In the Detroit area. it was learn ed, the percentage of aliens working in the United States and living in Canada has increased substantially since the opening of the Ambassa : dor brid , at Detroit.
 This makes it possible for the Worimen 10 live in Canada an! reach their places of employment in the United States quicker than ii they lived in the suburbs of De- trot.
 In addition, the proposed rule would affect large number ot Wor!imen at Niagara Falls, Buffalo. along the Vermont and Maine bor- ders and at Fl Paso on the Mexican border. Other localities also woull be affected to a lesser extent.
