WASHINGTON. - In Germany
and, more particularly, in Italy, a
mighty squawk is being raised
over the United States law which
compels all aliens to register and
to file their fingerprints with the
government.
Robert Farinacci, one of the big
shots in the Fascist outfit, means
in his paper, Regime Fascista,
published in Cremona, that in
America it is a crime to belong to
the people who produced Colum-
bus.
The exquisite joke about this par
ticular sentence is that Farinaccj
is one of the leading anti-Semites
in Italy. A great Spanish writer
recently wrote about Columbus
that all evidences available show
he was descended from Spanish
Jewish refugees settled in Italy.
Farinacci goes on to say all Ger
mans and Italians in America are
fingerprinted as if they were Grim

ENGLAND KEEPS
CLOSE TAB

The fact is the United States is
one of the last great countries to
adopt some measure of control of
the aliens within it's borders. All
over Europe, long before the pres
ent war, aliens were the subject
of government measures.
In democratic England, for in
stance, an American or any other
alien, if he remained in the coun-
try more than 60 days, had to re-
port to the nearest police station
with two photographs of himself,
one for the files of the police, the
other to be pasted in a police book
the alien must keep.
On the police record all details
about the alien were copied from
his passport and kept for future
reference. Every time the alien
moved from one city to another
in the United Kingdom, he had to
check out with the police of one
town and check in with the police
of the other.
And even though he continued to
live in the same town, he had to
report every change of address,
even if he moved from 20 Baker
street to 81 Baker street.
Well remembered is the case OF
an American singing Coincidence,
a great favorite in London, who
failed to notify the police she had
changed her home address. = Hell
name was shining in blazing lights
two feet high over the theater
where she acted, but she was hailed
into court, severely lectured by the
judge and fined $25 for her helm.
GUS offense.
By its legislation America is
simply falling into line. And in
cidentally, the alien registration
law does not apply only to Ger
mans and Italians, but to all aliens
alike.

Jiggs Is Desperate.
Whatever that note would say,
Jiggs knew that it would be
ominous, and as be walked back to
the little car he felt a weakness
sweep over him. He had to read it
and he hated to.
In the light from the dash the
words cracked at Jiggs' eyes like
explosive caps. binding him to their

He stared at his bandaged hand
and cursed. If his blow had only
landed all this might have been
averted; they'd have caught the
man who was at the bottom of this
thing. And whatever purpose Toms
captor had in mind in wanting Chris
out of San Francisco was impos-
sible to guess. And he had to tell
her to leave, that Tom wanted her
to leave, that he was through with
her, the engagement broken .
But there was no alternative. Toms
life hung upon his carrying out
these orders, telling Chris this lie.
Jiggs Follows Instructions.
The Wilbur Hotel wasn't far but
Jiggs drove aimlessly up and down
the streets in its vicinity trying
to phrase the words that he must
say to Chris until an hour had
elapsed. Then at last he parked
the little car and walked into the

closed in, pressed tight against the
doors and the windows. He drove
slowly, wanting to keep an eye on
the roadside in case Tom had de-
cided to walk up and down as he
waited.
Then the tree near the crossroads
took shape in the glare of the head
lamps and Jiggs pulled over to one
side and scanned the road shoulder
for Tom. He could see no one, either
at the tree or near it. He waited a
moment but his heart had begun to
pound with alarm This was the
place Tom had said to meet him;
why wasn't he here?
Pushing open the door Jiggs
jumped down from the running
board and ran across the pavement
toward the tree, and while he was
still few feet away from it ne saw

lobby. His ruddy Irish face felt
stiff and pale as he approached
the desk, and his voice was husky
with strain as he asked the clerk
to tell Miss Mallory that Mr.. Reilly
was downstairs. Then he paced
nervously up and down until she
appeared.
Chris was alone and Jiggs was
thankful for that, but a sickness
clutched at his stomach when he
thought of what he had to tell her.
For an instant he thought to tell
her the truth and asked her to pre-
tend to play the part demanded of
her, but when he remembered the
fatal warning, IF you fail to do this
he will die" he took a deep breath
and made his final decision.
Chris was beautiful in her trim
gray suit and jaunty black felt hat.
The worry that etched tiny lines
between her brows at the same time
made her eyes seem deeper, of a

more lustrous brown. The way she
held her straight little shoulders
had always seemed somehow brave,
defiant. Now, Jiggs felt, those
shoulders were going to sag and in
her eyes there would be signs Of
hurt too deep to be borne.
"Jiggs! What is it?" Chris
clutched at his arm, alarm in her
voice, and Jiggs realized that the
sympathy he felt must have shown
as he stared at her.

voice cracked. He swallowed and

Jiggs almost choked on the last
words. He couldn't look at Chris

see the effect his lie would have
upon her. And suddenly his only

nothing. Perhaps Tom would be
glad that Chris was here in San

C.I. 0. Program Barred,
Lewis Appeals TO F. {. {.

c. J. o. President John L. Lewis
lodged complaint with the Federal
Communications Commission yes
terday that a San Francisco radio
station had refused to renew con-
tract for a C. I. o. news program
Mr.. Lewis complaint, made public
by the C. I. O., was contained in
letter to Commission Chairman
James L, Fly. The letter and an
planned that Station KYA on Octo-
Der 8 refused to renew the contract
under which the &C. I. o. reporter"
program had been broadcast five
nights a week for two years.
The reason given by the man
agement of the station" Mr.. Lewis
wrote, was that the program was
controversial and therefore may not
be broadcast under purchased time
since this procedure would be con-
trary to the code of the National
Association of Broadcasters.
The issue raised in this case is
of paramount importance to labor
1t threatens to make radio commu-
nication inaccessible to organized
labor for all practical purposes.
To the contrary, under the code
pursuant to which this action has
been taken. employers of labor are
being afforded an opportunity to
purchase time for the dissemination
of news adverse to labor"

s11, 100000 BEING SPENT ON
ROADS OF STATE

With projects totaling $7,792,-
324 under way in 1889, others
totaling 1921, either already be-
gun this year or due to begin, and
total of $1,195,349 advertised or
awaiting award, the State Roads
Commission now has some 100000
900 pledged or soon to be pledged
for improvement of Maryland's road
system, Governor Herbert r. O'Con-
or was informed today. A great part
of the nearly $8,OOO,0O0 worth of
work begun during 1899 is expected
to be completed by the end of 1910.
In addition, more than $780,
900 of w. P. A. Project construction
is being done throughout the State,
with the State Roads Commission
committed for approximately $415,-
900 as its share of the cost.
In view of the large amounts
thus already projected or planned
Governor O'Conor was assured by
Major Ezra B. Whitman, Chairman
of the State Roads Commission, that
by the first of January, 1941, the
halfway mark in the O'Conor Ad-
ministration, the residents of Mary
land will have plenty of evidence
of the benefits of Governor O'Con-
or's program for modernization of
Maryland's roads Much remains, to
be done, of course, before the roads
of the State are in the condition that
Governor O'Conor and Major Whit
man desire to see them, but as
of gasoline tax money over the past
four or five years allowed the roads
to deteriorate so badly that it would
be manifestly impossible to correct
all of the deficiencies Immediately.
One of the main reasons that
the Committee has been able to
schedule and get underway such a
vast amount of work, was Governor
O'Conor's insistance that the policy
of diverting gasoline taxes be dis
continued, a policy for which he has
time and again received the highest
commentator from innumerable
associations to whose members the
conditions of the States roads are
Of prime Importance. This non-di-
version policy means that during the
four years of his administration, a
minimum of $15,000,O00 will go on
the roads that otherwise would have
been diverted to other purposes.
The most important of the 1910
construction projects concerns the
relocation of the Philadelphia Road,
between Little Elk Greek and Land
ing Lane, which will cost approx
mately $386,00O.

Counties of the State has representa-

DRINK MORE MILK

Drink more milk" is sound diet
airy advice.
This is a country with an UNI
euualled standard of living-but
milk consumption by adults as well
as children, is far below the level
health experts believe advisable.
Various health organizations are
working to stimulate milk consump-
ton. And, on top of that, excellent
work is being done by the milk mar
keting cooperatives. These co-ops
emphasize the value of milk-and
they assure the consumer of a sam
itary disease-free, high quality pro-
duct. During the past few years,
with the help of progressive farm
ers, immense progress has been
made in the technique of milk pro-
duction and handling.
More milk would mean better
health for ninety-nine people out of

THE OFFICE SEEKS A MAN

One of the fondest American ira
ditions is that which has it that
'Any boy born in the United States
can be President" There is another
wildly accepted saying: "The office
seeks the man" But American de-
mocracy has still to make these
dreams come true.
In the next three months two ma
tional conventions will go SO per
cent of the way toward electing the
next president of the United States.
Out of some 50,O0O,000 constitution
ally qualified citizen they will name
two. When the people vote in No
vember they will choose only be-
tween one or the other.
Today the Office of President is
seeking the man. A man OF great
capacity seasoned, experienced in
large affairs, grounded in genuine
liberalism, sympathetic toward Soc
ial reform but understanding bus
mess problems and trusted by the
business community, a proven ad-
ministrator equipped to consolidate
the good in New Deal experiments
and discard the bad-for such a
man the office calls. Millions of cit
liens who do not want to go back
to the Old Deal but fear the New
Deal is encroaching on liberty and
blocking recovery are searching for
such a man.-The Monitor, Boston.

WHAT CAUSES FIRES?

What causes fires? A few are
caused by incendiarists, though their
toll has been much reduced in late
wears due to unremitting efforts of
prosecuting authorities and fire per-
yention groups. A few are unavoid-
able. And the balance, which in
cludes the great majority of all fires,
are caused by the average man
people like yourself. They are the
tragic fruits of human carelessness,
human ignorance, human indiffer-
ence. They represent sheer and mex
cusable waste of lives and resources.
Fire prevention isn't the other fell
lows job. It's your job-your neigh
boris job-everybody's job. The
seeds of fire undoubtly exist in your
home and your place of business,
waiting for the spark that will spell
disaster. We can stamp out fire
butt we can do that only if all of us
cooperate in fighting it.
Next time you read of home
burning, reflect that it might have
been your home. Next time you hear
of someone meeting horrible death
from fire, think that you or a mem
Der of your family may be on fires
future list of victims. Then ask your
self this question: Is fire prevention
worth while?.
