mo Defense Plea Made
By Lawyer in Tax Case
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1.-Or-
ban C. Patterson a criminal attor-
ney who was termed "Oklahoma's
public enemy No. /" by former Gov.
E. w. Marland. abruptly pleaded
no defense today at his trial on
Federal income tax charges.
Federal Judge Edgar S. Vaught, in
accepting the plea, declared early
evidence introduced by the Govern
ment "discloses conditions in this
city and the State which certainly
ought to bring a blush of shame to
the cheeks of every honest citizen" ."
He permitted Patterson to remain
free on his original $4,000 bond and
set March 2 for sentencing.
A convict witness yesterday &C
cused Patterson of accepting S16,150
to provide protection" for stolen
car racket and of fixing court
cases."

SEVERAL ALIENS
REGISTERED HERE
A r. BRADSHAW. Asks Those
Reporting To Have All I'M
portant Facts Ready

Seven New Hanover count y
aliens registered and were finger
printed yesterday as the office
opened for the first day in the
basement of the p~ostoffice. More
than 400 are expected to register
before the dead1ine, Decembr 26.
A. B. Bradshaw, conducting the
registration, said last night it is
essential that all aliens reporting
for registration, first ascertain all
information concerning their birth
place, citizenship, arrival in this
country and other facts.
All of yesterdays. registrations
were during the morning hours and
none were made during the after
noon. The office is open from 8 a.
m. until 5 p. m.
TO shield aliens from the curious
inspection of %passersby, the regis
tration is being conducted in the
basement of the postoffice, in the
civil service room, which bears mum
Der 10. The room Is located near
the end Of the hall reached by the
stairway located at the north en-.
trance Of the postoffice.
Bradshaw said that his estimate
Of the number expected to be regis
tered is taken from the number now
on file in the clerk of courts office
and from statements by Jennings
OFT, immigration and naturalization
inspector in Wilmington.
Application forms to be used prior
to actual registration and finger
printing r now available at the
headquarters in the p~ostoffice and
may be obtained at any time. These
forms must be filled out and re-
turned before any person may be
registered, Bradshaw said.
Deadline for the work is December
rs and after that time all the infor'
matio, received will be turned owe,
to the Federal Bureau Of %Investiga'
tion. The registration beginning yes
terday must not be confused with the
one required under state law ir
which the aliens registered with the
clerk Of court.
