WASHINGTON, Jon. 10
Most striking immediots re-
suit of the registration Of the
4,7OO, 900 oIlens in the United
Stotes has been q vost increase
Of applications for citizenship.
Ordinarily, about 49, 900
applications ore filed q year.
Right now, with the big regis
trotion campaign just COM
pleted, more than 400. 900
applications ore on file. Not
uroIlzotion officioIs expect this
number to double within q
year.
Present indications are that
the Department Of Justice isn't
going to get too tough with
the oliens, but will Try to make
about 1900, 900 new citizens
out Of them.
Earl 6. Horrison, D.. J. Of
ficioI who had charge Of the
registering, believes this new
Jump in applications comes
because q greet many oliens
learned for the first time thot
they were not oetuolly citizens.
Many had filed first papers
and then let them lapse. Oth-
ers, brought over when small
by their parents. had thought
for years that their porents
had become citizens. The reg
istrotion campaign led them to
check up on things.
This, however. is one Of the
leost Of the gains due to the
registration, Harrison believes.
Complete ono|ysis Of the fig
ures, he soys, will drive home
several important lessons
and many head off ilI-eon-
sidered onti-oIien legislation
by Congress or stote Iegislo-
lures.
SompIines show thot only 10
per cent Of the oliens have ony-
thing oooinst their records
illegal entry, overstoy Of tenn
poroy residence permits, and
so on. And the percentage Of
criminals among q lens is
slightly lower than the per-
centc Sc of criminals among
ordinary citizens. Known GRIM
inols ore to be kicked out un-
der existing laws, and q big
AUGMENTATION drive will be
conducted among the more
than 30 per cent whose only
offense is that they liked the
United Stotes so we'll that they

There is something almost melon-
choly in the final dissolution by Joy
Lovestone of his so-colled Splinter
group" Of the Communist Party.
Probably you never heard of Joy
lovestone, which is the ultimote COM
mentoy on his 20 years Of effort to
make the United Stotes go Communist.
In rodicoI circles, however, Love-
stone is quite name. He was one OF
the founders of the American Commun-
ist Party, and in it's early Days he was
the Browder Of the movement He rush.
ed off to Russia for instructions from
time to time, and it wos because he
dared to have little disagreement with
Joe Stain on matter of policy in the
u. S. that Lovestone was eosed out and
Browder substituted. Lovestone. then.
in the fashion of all zeoIots, founded his
own private Communist Porty, and very
private it remained. too.
Now, otter 20 years, he gives UP,
and disbonds the whole shooting
match. 1.-THE existing socialist and rod
icoI groups ore essentially out Of touch
with American life and it's problems"
he soys sadly. They live in an artificial
world Of their own that makes it i'm
possible for them to see the foto de-
fects of their existence. They are un-
able to take positive, constructive
stand on present-doy problems"
Well, l2e,257,6 people in the
United Stotes have known for long
time those same things, which it took
Lovestone 20 years of heart breaking
effort to discover.
With the other radical parties it
fores scarcely better. providers ortho-
dox, or totol-immersion Communist
Party, U.S.A, has never achieved any
mass following in the group it loudly
claims to represent" Communist pol
icy outside Russia hos been uniformly
a bust. It was largely responsible for
turning Germany over to the Nozis. 1t
materially aided the collapse Of France
1t disrupted the Republican defense Of
Spain, and brought on the disorders
thot gave japan its opportunity to over
run Chino.
The Socialists, otter brief fIrto-
ton with the Communists, have had to
stort all over ogoin, otter receiving that
kiss of death, and the total vote for all
>rodicof porties in the lost election was
lower than it hos ever been in recent
times.
Why? Because the common man
realizes instinctively what it took Love-
stone 20 years to leorn-thot the pro-
grams advanced have little to do with
life as we know it, and when applied
have brought nothing but ruin and
death.
No rodiooI party can ever make the
slightest heodwoy in the United Stotes
until it convnces large numbers Of peo-
pie that q socialist or deeply socioIizine
proeron, can be brought about in q
democratic society," No such example
hos ever been produced; no convincing
demonstration in the conduct Of the
parties themselves has ever been given
Americans continue to be reluctant
to toss away their liberties, their dem
onstroted advances, their weII-eround-
ed foth in orderly progress, for ony will

WOULD START ANEW

Probably the most startling plan to some has come from govern ment official who asks to remain unnamed until he has put his completed scheme in shape fo- presentation. His idea is to junk Washington altogether and move the national capital to Chicago Or some other centrally located mid western city He is drawing his plans on Chicago because of loca- ton and because he knows it so well.
 His plan, roughly, is to build all of the government buildings in a vast handicapped quadrangle well out from the city which would be connected with the capital by a fan-shaped system of subways, to carry the workers from city or suburban homes to their offices. There would be no residences in the capital area.
 We can already smell sulphur from the storm of controversy this plan would bring up-not to mention what a wreck it would leave of the national unity pro- gram. But it is an architect s dream.

for months and may come out any minute with. a report and recom- mendations which would give the move -'em-out advocates on the Hill a springboard for action.
 The Federal Communications Commission. the Home Owners Loan Corporation (which has less than a thousand of its 7,500 em- ployees here), the Bureau of the Census, a half a dozen agencies in Agriculture and Interior, and the Securities and Exchange Com mission are just a few that haze been singled out by congressman or other officials for removal to other cities.
 But decentralization by trans ferring agencies and bureaus to the hinterlands isn't the only scheme that has been advanced.
 Several years ago, the National Resources Committee came out with plan to scatter 12 "re- gional capitals over the United States, locating them roughly at the same points where the Federal Reserve banks are located. This would mean regional capitals would be established at or in the vicini- ties of Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlan- ta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas and San Fran cisco
 The plan originally got into a welter of controversy and after President Roosevelt was reported to be against it, it was allowed to go into the discard. Recently, it has been dragged out, dusted off and has good chance of getting before Congress in the form of proposed legislation.
 Rep. Everett M. Dirksen of Illi- nois has announced that he is go- ing to push through his resolution for a special committee to report on this or other decentralization legislation.

ZOE STERLING AND WIFE ARE
 H0lLYW00DING
Former Juneauite, Son of HawIeY Sterling, Bound
 for Film Capital

Joseph Sterling, well known son of MT and Mrs. Hawley Sterling of Juneau, and his wife were fea- tured in an article in the July 12 issue of the Seattle Times. The ar ticle is as follows:
 Short on money and long on hope, MT and Mrs. Joseph Ster-' ling, University of Washington drama majors, and their rat-tail Spaniel dog, MT. Esquire plan to leave Seattle today to crash" motion pictures in Hollywood.
 "They have no plans or promises in the cinema capital Their only in" is the fact that Mrs. Sterling has a cousin by marriage, whose nephew is in some way related to Gary Cooper. Mrs. Sterling and Cooper have never met, but she is certain she'll see that an acquaint- ance is made.
 "Today's stars probably won't fear the couples winning an Aca- demy Award the first year, but few actors have hit Hollywood with as adventurous dramatics back ground as the Sterlings will take with them.
 Driving a Model "A" roadster, equipped with 13 tires, none of which shows any tread, the couple will drag a crudely- built trailer, on which are tied all their belongings They have $75, too.
 Their Hollywood invasion will be another in their series of ad- ventures, which they have been taking in stride. Adventures for the Sterlings started when they met when both were cast in Dis raeli,' a stage production at the Showboat Theatre, about year and a half ago.
 Their campus romance bloS- somed, and they became engaged in May, l940, and were married last December.
 Sterling has appeared in ap- proximately 400 University perfor- mances, including 300 consecutive shows in 12 straight productions.
