| Birth Certificate
Demand in D. &.
Nearly Doubles

Howard w. Bowie, acting chief OF
the Bureau of Vital Statistics, said
today the demand for birth cer-
tificates in the District has about
doubled the work of the bureau in
the last two months.
He said the largest percentage of
applications for birth certificates
are coming from employees and
prospective employees of aircraft
plants and other private industries
having contracts with the United
States Government.
Another factor contributing to the
increase, Mr. Bowie explained, is the
order issued by the Federal Com
munications Commission that anna
teur as we'll as professional radio
operators must have proof of their
citizenship.
He also pointed out that immi-
grafton authorities have tightened
up on regulations for American
tourists returning from Canada.
Proof of citizenship is required for
re-entry into this country and birth
certificates provide one of the best
means of supplying this proof
Mr.. Bowie also cited the fact that
all of the services, the Army, Navy
and the Marine Corps, require proof
of citizenship before an applicant
can be taken into the service.
Because of the increase in de-
mand, the bureau said it was ad-
visable for parents whose children
are entering school for the first
time this fall to obtain birth Ger
tif1cates as soon as possible.
