Registration Of Aliens

For the first time in history, the
United States Government is start
ing to treat aliens as other coun-
tries have long treated them. Aliens
have been welcomed to this country
from its earliest beginnings and
from the American melting pot this
nation grew and prospered. Hence
forth, there will be no open-handed
unquestioning welcome, but they
will be policed and watched as alien
movements are watched in Europe.
Between August % and December 26
every alien in the United States
must register at a first or second
class post Office. Each Of them will
receive registration card and any
change of address must be reported
to the immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service in Washington within
five days. The decision to register
all aliens in the country, some g.
100000 Of them, is no indication that

Director of Finance John R. Rich

lief Administrator Walter Chambers
a proposal for cooperation with the
federal works projects administra-
ton in substituting heads of fami-
lies for single men employed on the
WPA, which was estimated to save
the state 100000 Il month.
Richards explained the plan
would involve no additional cost
to the federal agency, since the
WPA makes no differentiation IN
pay between married and single
men.
On the other hand. he explained.
the average SRA dole payment has
been $40 for heads of families ann
SIG to S18 for single men. He added
that these figures have now been
reduced, however, as the result Of
a 40 per cent cut in all relief pay
ments.
