Squirt in Registrations
Indicates Doubling
Of First Estimates

If alien registration in Washing
ton continues the home stretch"
pace indicated at present, approxi-
mately 1000 non-citizens-twice the
number estimated-will have been
enrolled here by the deadline date,
December 26.
Up to yesterday 11,405 persons
had registered through the District
post office. Before registration be-
gan, on August 27. immigration and
Naturalization Service officials es-
timated that there would be about
1000 non-citizens in Washington.
For the past week an average Of
about 200 registrants have been
coming in daily, and postal officials
who have been handling the work
expect an ever higher average dur
ing the 18 remaining registration
days after today.
Aside from a general increase ir1
the Districts population in the past
few months, largely due to addi-
tional personnel employed in the
national defense program. registra-
ton authorities do not know why
Washington should have so many
more aliens than were estimated.
The proportion of non-citizens re-
corded in the 1880 population was
the yardstick used in making the
estimates.
Is Minutes Per Registrant.
Enrolment and fingerprinting Of
aliens is proceeding each weekday
except Saturdays and holidays from
9 m. to $50 pm. at the City Post
Office. Massachusetts, avenue and
North Capitol street. The registra-
ton Office is closed on Saturday aft
ernoons. Ten postal employees are
assigned to this work. Thanks to a
lot of practice, the clerks can COM
plete most registrations in Is min
utes or less. But there is nearly
always waiting line these days.
Two of the clerks are kept busy
signing up invalids and persons in
hospitals and other institutions who
cannot go to the post Office in per-
son. So far they have visited "a
institutions and about 125 resi-
dences.
The campaign Of the Alien Regis
tration Division to remind all non-
citizens to register before the De-
Cember rs Geadline has included
special radio announcements and
a motion picture short featuring
Charles Boyer and Claudette COL
bert.
No Fee to Pay.
Aliens IA years of age and older,
1t is stressed, must register in per-
son and be nger-printed.
Alien children under IA must be
registered by their parents or guar
dians.
There is no fee of any kind and
the Justice Department has warned
all prospective registrants to beware
of racketeers.
Aliens who have not registered
should do SO as soon as possible
in order to avoid the anticipated
final rush. Those who have regis
tered are reminded that they must
! report any change in their perma-
nent address within five days to
the immigration and Naturalization
Service of the Justice Department.
A fine of $1,000 and imprisonment
for six months is prescribed by the
Alien Registration Act of 1910 for
failure to register, for refusal to
be fingerprinted or for making reg
istration statements known to be
false.
All records will be kept secret
and confidential and will be made
available only to such persons as
may be designated with the ap-
proval of the Attorney General.
