Prompt House Action
Is Sought on New
Nationality Code
Law Would Bor Reds,
Nozis and Foseists,
Sponsors Soy
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Prompt House action was sought
tooay on a new nationality code
which sponsors claimed would Sc
"drastically tighten" existing natu-
ralization regulations that Commu-
niStS, Nazis and Fascists could not
acquire United States citizenship.
Before the start of debate. Repre-
sentative Rees, Republican, of Kan
sas told reporters the main purposes
of the legislation were ito imple-
ment the fight against fifth column
lists and to clear up thousands of
cases of doubtful American citizen
ship"
Although no groups are mentioned
by name, Representative Rees as
serted belief that Communists, Nazis
and Fascists would be barred from
naturalization by new eligibility pro-
visions.
Present law bars anarchists, poly
gamiStS, persons unable to speak
English, Army and Navy deSerters
and draft dodgers.
Bar on Others.
The new legislation also would
deny citizenship to those who ad-
vocate the overthrow by force or
violence of the United States Gov
ernment or who distribute literature
or contribute money "or promise
anything of value" to that end.
Aliens who engage in or advocate
sabotage also would be barred.
The legislation would repeal all
existing nationality and citizenship
laws and substitute a new code.
One provision which Represen-
tatiVe ReeS said was aimed at
strengthening national defense
would make certain native and
foreign-born nationals prove they
had not expatriated themselves if
they stayed six months in the coun-
try of their own or their parents
birth.
Informed sources said the War
Department had asked that such a
provision be applied to persons born
in Hawaii or Alaska and that it was
aimed particularly at Japanese born
citizens in Hawaii who returned to
Japan for military service.
Other Provisions.
Other provisions would:
Expatriate a citizen who served in
the armed forces of foreign power
whether or not he had taken an
oath of allegiance to the foreign
sovereignty. Present law withdraWs
citizenship only from those who
take an oath of allegiance in join
ing a foreign army or navy.
Expatriate person born abroad
OF American parents unless that per-
son came to the United States by
the time he or she was % years old
and claimed citizenship. All per-
sons whether % or older now would
be given two years after enactment
of the measure in which to claim
their citizenship.
