Roosevelt Signs Bill
For Fingerprinting Of
All Aliens in America
President ExpIoins
Measure Safeguards
.Loyol Citizenship

Describing the program as de-
signed not only for protection of
the country but as safeguard for
the loyal aliens residing here, Presi-
dent Roosevelt today signed the
Alien Registration Act of 1910.
BY provisions of the measure,
aliens would be identified, finger
printed and registered with the Fed
eral Government, the project 10 be
under general supervision of the
Justice Department.
Seemingly in answer to criticism
that the law is an infringement on
civil liberties, the Chief Executive
issued formal statement on signing
the bill.
Explains It's Purpose.
THE registration and identifica-
tion of approximately $500, 900
aliens who are now within our
borders does not carry with it any
stigma or implication of hostility
towards those who. while they may
not be citizens, are loyal to this
country and its institutions.
Most of the aliens in this country
are people who came here because
they believed and had faith in the
principles of American democracy
and they are entitled to and must
receive full protection of the law.
1t is of the utmost importance to
the security of the country that the
program of alien control shall be
carried out with a high sense of re-
sponsibility. 1t would be unfor-
tunate, If, in the course of the reg
ulative program, any loyal aliens
were subjected to harassment.
The only effective system of con-
troll over aliens in this country must
come from the Federal Government
alone. This is as true from a prac-
tical point of view as it is from a
legal and constitutional point of
view. 1t seems to me that at
tempts by the States or communities
to deal with the problem individually
will result in undesirable confusion
and duplication.
Ac PCA dtlOHs
II ask that citizens and nom
citizens alike cooperate with a full
sense of the responsibilities involved
so that We may accomplish this task
of registration smoothly, quickly and
in friendly manner, our aim being
to preserve and build up the loyalty
and confidence of those aliens with
in our borders who desire to be
faithful to our principles. With
those aliens who are disloyal and
are bent on harm to the country.
the Government, through its law
enforcement agencies, can and will
deal vigorously"
Meanwhile, Federal agencies CO.
ordinated final plans for the start of
active operations against the new
public enemies-undesirable aliens
and fifth columnists.
Opens New Campaign.
The first portion of the campaign
gets under way Monday, the effec-
tive date for regulations which make
the legal entry of aliens into the
United States more difficult.
A second portion-aimed at illegal
entry and infiltration-got the go
ahead" when President Roosevelt
signed a bill yesterday providing
funds for doubling the border patrol
and increasing the maritime inspec-
tors who efTeck up on alien seamen.

Germany, Italy Seek
To Keep Bulgaria,
Hungary al Peace
Axis Powers Promise
Claims on Rumunia
Will Be Settled Later
BY the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, June 29.-Germany
and Italy are making serious efforts
to keep Hungary and Bulgaria on a
peacetime producing basis with as
surances their territorial claims on
Rumania would be achieved later, it
was reported today.
The Axis moves for peace in
Southeastern Europe were reported
in the midst of full speed military
preparations by Hungary and Bull
garia, who are apprehensive over
Russia's actions in Rumania. Mill
tary leaders in Hungary and Bull
garia were in constant conference
with political authorities.
Surprise Russian Move.
The surprise advance of Russian
troops into Moldavia, a part of old
Rumania which was not demanded
in the Soviet ultimatum raised a
new question in Hungary and Bull
garia:
Whether they must act now to get
the Rumanian territory they have
claimed or run the risk of having
Russia beat them to it.
The Hungarian and Bulgarian
answers depend to a large extent
on what Germany and Italy say.
Both countries have been in close
touch with the axis powers since
the Balkan crisis started and their
cabinets held long sessions yester-
day.
In the midst of intense govern
ment and diplomatic activity in
every southeastern country the
tension was increased by Rumania S
order for general mobilization and
Hungary's decision to dispatch her
troops to the Rumanian frontier.
Action Depends on Russians.
Official quarters here said the
Hungarian forces would continue on
across the border into Pennsylvania
pre-World War Hungarian territory
which she now claims from her
neighbor, with full Axis support"

toward the Carpathian Mountains.

kans indicated Adolf Hitler is not

Democrats Draw

Presidents Intentions
Are Still Kept in
Deepest Secrecy
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Democratic guns were being
trained on Wendell L. Willkie today,
but strategists of the present admin
1stration party were still keeping
secret, if they know themselves, the
personal intentions of their best
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Roosevelt.
For despite large segments of pos
ltive opinion-usually cancelling
each other out-that Mr.. Roosevelt
is going to run, or is not going to
run, the Chief Executive has not vet
tipped his hand to the public view.
In fact, if it has been tipped to
anybody there has been a near mi
raculous observance of confidence
by those in the know.
Recognition that Mr.. Willkie will
be a strong campaigner as the Re
publican candidate was immediate
here yesterday and his association
with Senator McNary of Oregan was
acknowledged to be a formidable
combination. AS consequence, the
third termers set to spreading the
word that Mr.. Roosevelt alone would
be better than an even choice
against the G. o. P. ticket and that
his consent to make the race should
be virtually obligatory.
q Never accused of ducking a
forensic fight, the Chief Executive
may succumb to this kind of pres
sure on behalf of the third term eff
fort-if any pressure should be
needed.
Accounted an equally strong ele-
ment toward keeping Mr.. Roosevelt
in his party's top spot is the world
situation and the present stage of
American mobilization. Those close
to the President are we'll aware that
no issue ever has gripped him per-
sonally more strongly than this one,
and there is a conviction that he
may be very deeply desirous of car
rying on during this period.
In any event, it is believed GER
tain that he will not voluntarily
relinquish the presidency without
lronclad assurance that the Demo-
cratic nominee would continue the
Roosevelt foreign policy in every
detail. For this reason, If Mr.. Roose-
welt withdraws it is probable that

The proclamation, after stating
that the conditions of September 8
continued to prevail, declared "the
