of knowing, but he sees much Sig
nificance in the fact that of 35, 900
questionnaires mailed out to appli-
cants during the past year. more
than 10000 we're never returned.
Unfortunately dish o N est
alien doesn't have to remain
thwarted very long. He need only
go to some more lenient cOmmu-
nifty, take a likely name from a
Tombstone or from public rec
ords, and thus secure passport
to American assembly lines.
Newark is not the only place that
has uncovered alarming evidence of
the birth-certihcate menace. DIR.
Halbert L. Dunn, one of the chief
statisticians of the United States
Census Bureau, recently stated: 1T
is important to realize that certi-
fed birth certificate, without posi-
tive proof of identity linked with it,
does not represent proof of the facts
of name, age or citizenship. Certi-
fed birth certificates have been
loaned from one person to another
Repeatedly, instances of erasure for
the purposes of fraud have been es-
tablished. Certificate forms have
undoubtedly been printed at times
by unauthorized agents, who then
fill in the facts from their imagina-
tions."
In Florida, according to Census
Bureau officials, a certificate was
used to smuggle aliens into the coun-
try so many times that it was re-
duced to tatters. In Connecticut,
such a large number of blanks have
been stolen from vital-statistics
counters that the State Registrar,
w. c. Yelling, recently ordered his
representatives to keep all blanks
under lock and key.
1t is a painfully ironical fact that,
although dishonest alien can get
convincing document for SO cents,
about $4,000, 900 native-born Amer
leans have no birth certificates at all.
This situation is due to the careless
ness of doctors and midwives, to the
loss of certificates by fire and flood,
and especially to the fact that all
the states did not become part OF the
national registration area until 1888.
Thus large numbers OF Americans
have serious difficulty in qualifying
for work in defense industries. In
war requiring a stupendous output
of planes, ships and guns, the loss
of the services of these skilled work.
ers may be very grave.
Increased Need
In ADDITION, proof Of age and citi-
zenship is required to qualify for
Social Security payments and old
age pensions, to apply for jobs in the
Civil Service. and even, in some
places, to receive relief. The more
complex our social order, the greater
the handicaps of the unrecorded
citizen.
Delayed birth certificates. issued
to unregistered adults in most states,
have not solved the problem. In
some places, getting such a docu-
ment is unreasonably difficult; in
others, so easy that opportunities
for fraud are positively dazzling to
disloyal foreigners. In Indiana and
in the District of Columbia, the

IN freedoms is another that Americans
have added =. . Freedom to Plan Ones
Own Future.
Nowhere on earth is man so free to
plan his own future as he is in America.
Of all the worlds life insurance, 1914 is
owned in the United States where men,
women, and children enjoy to the fullest
the right to pursue happiness and secur
ity in their own way.
This right is not something that just hap

fight to qvrest 1t from the forces Of oppression.
Today, these forces are at work against
us again They have thrust upon us a
fight that requires more on our part than
the will to win. Victory requires tanks
and planes and guns and battleships,
huge armies, munition plants, and all
other implements of total war.
To build enough of these things, fast
enough, takes money-unheardot sums
of money. And the United States Gov
ernment needs that money right now.

person who was not registered at
birth cannot get any certificate at
all. A machine-tool salesman born
in Washington, d. c., but unregis-
tered, was recently barred from the
war plants with which he did busi-
ness. In California, court and law
yers' fees sometimes run as high as
500, a figure that is prohibitive
for many native sons.
Good >>Memo1ies1'
In A number of other states, how
ever, the laws are so lax that any,
body can get certificate merely
by having a friend or relative swear
to his place and date of birth. For
instance, a government official told
of seeing a 6O-year-old Mexican
woman in Southwestern state hav-
ing the facts Of her birth sworn to
by her 20-year old grandson In the
state of Washington, before Pearl
Harbor, a japanese woman got
birth certificates for three men by
swearing that they we're her Ameri-
can-born sons. Later, officials Of the
Bureau of immigration and Natu-
ralization happened to notice that,
according to the dates given, the
three sons must have been born
singly in space Of ten months
In several states, the unsupported
word of the attending physician or
midwife is all an applicant needs to
secure birth certificate, no matter
how long ago the event occurred.
While the vast majority of doctors
would not wilfully make out a false
certificate, some of them see no harm
at all in doing a favor for patient,
especially if he is in need of job.
A delayed certificate which recently
came to light in New England was
signed by a doctor who could not
have been more than six years old
at the time of the delivery.
What can be done about this
chaotic and dangerous situation?
The unsupported birth certificate
has proved itself dangerous tool
in the hands of the scheming alien;
yet for the native-born we have
nothing to take its place. Two bills
recently introduced into Congress
provide for the granting Of certifi-
Gates of citizenship by the federal
government. The better of the bills
demands of applicants fair amount
of evidence, to be sitted and verified
by the Census Bureau. As both
plans are voluntary. many people
believe that they offer only par
tial solution.
Much more sweeping is the
plan prepared by PaulO o. McPhail
ofthe Denver Police Department.
This includes compulsory regis
tration, careful checking of birth
data, and the issuing of cards of
Identification bearing photo
graphs and fingerprints.
Once Congressman turned pale at
the idea of compulsory registration,
but in recent Gallup Poll SO per
cent of those questioned favored
such means of proving identity. To
block saboteurs, bar short cuts to
citizenship, and protect the rights of
honest workers, prompt and drastic

Murray Offers
Plan TO Settle
CIO-AFL Dispute

President Philip Murray this
week reiterated CLOS willingness
to have the War Labor Boards
four public members arbitrate
jurisdictional disputes between
CLIO and AFL unions.
"The problem Is now entirely
up to the AFL to consent to the
proposal made by CLIO for peace
full disposition of all jurisdictional
disputes without any stoppages of
work." Murray wired to Chair
man William Fl. Davis, of the War
Labor Board.
The CLIO leaders message was
the second within a few days on
the subject of inter-union dis
putes-a question that has been
brought to the public attention
by a strike of AFL construction
workers at the General Motors
Frigidaire plant in Dayton, Ohio.
, 1942-09-02

AS organized labor, of course,
well knows, the Law provides that
covered workers be paid an over
time rate of at least time and one
half their regular rates of pay for
each hour of work beyond 40
hours in a single work week. The
Law is as simple as that. But, from
the amount of distorted state
ments, half-truths, and apparent
ly deliberate falsehoods, recently
uttered and printed about this
provision of the Law, it would
seem that it is the cause of all
evils that may befall the American
people.
misunderstanding was created
through references to the over-
, 1942-09-02

time provisions of the Law was the
40-hour week" provisions. This, OF
course, is deliberately misleading
The overtime provisions of the
Wage-Hour Law do not in any
manner limit the work-week to
40 hours. And, as is shown by a
recent survey by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, u. S. Department
of Labor, a vast majority of de-
tense plants have reached a 100
hour work basis, which is enabling
the operation of at least some
"bottleneck" departments on two
or three shift plans.
1t is clear, therefore, that the
Wage and Hour Law does not
stand in the way of full utiliza-
ton of the American productive
capacity. We all know that, so
far as war production is concern
ed, it is essential that we utilize
every bit of plant capacity and
equipment. The ideal situation, of
course, would be operation of all
plants on a 162-hour basis. How
ever, in order to provide time for
maintaining machinery of pro-
duction, four shifts of DO hours
each, making possible 100 hours
of productivity out of the 1913
hours in a week, appears to be
the most practical ideal
And, the survey of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics reveals, two
fifths of the plants surveyed al
ready were operating for more
than $50 hours a week. Three
quarters of the plants were oper-
ating some departments at least
120 hours a week. All but 10 per
cent were operating more than
10 hours q week

4 Political
Must"

Abolition of the poll tax is a
war measure of immediate impor-
lance for victory.
So long as democracy and the
right to vote are denied to some
10 million Americans in eight
states, Hitler's propagandists can
question the sincerity of our
democratic war aims.
But, more than that, our de-
mocracy must function effectively
if we are to have really united
effort for victory. To deny large
sections of our population their
constitutional rights and treat
them as Grade B citizens, is to
deprive them of their vote in
shaping our Victory Drive.
Because SO many Americans are
denied the right to vote through
the poll tax, our country is ours
ed with a bloc of poll-tax Con-
gressmen, elected by a small
minority, who constantly ham,
measures needed to win the
war.
The worst enemies of labor in
belong to this poll-tax
group. Most of them are guilty of
disrupting national unity by their
constant efforts to turn rich
against poor, ace against race,
middle class against labor, and
by their consistent opposition to
progressive social legislation that
benefits the masses of the common
people.
Here r some of the things you
can do to remove this poll-tax
obstacle from our road to victory:
1. Urge your Congressman to
sign the petition to discharge the
anti-poll tax bill, so Con-
yress may vote on it.
z. Write the Senate judiciary
committee to report out the
bill, the Senate companion
of the Geyer bill.
3. Make certain that all candi-
iates for Congress in this years
declare themselves at
'nce on the poll-tax question.
