McMullan Says Bolich
Law Should Be Repealed

RALEIGH, Jan. 27.-R-Attor-
ney General Harry Mcmillan said
today that the Bolich registration
act-a state law under which North
Carolina has been registering aliens
for the last IA years-violated the
federal constitution land should be
repealed.
The attorney general explained
that at the time the law was passed
it may have been constitutional, but
that the federal government, by pas.
sage last year of a federal alien reg
istration act, had "pre-empted the
field"
The United States rem court
recently voided a Pennsylvania alien
act similar to the North Carolina
statute, he pointed out.
Under the Bolich act, aliens re
siding in North Carolina were re
quired to register with the clerks Of
superior court, and the registration
machinery was supervised by the
secretary Of state.
