DAlesandro, but Representative
Samuel Dickstein of New York
who heads the House Committee
on immigration. Nearly two years
ago D'Alesandro had written his
ideas into a bill which was even
more liberal in some respects than
the present one. This bill passed
the House by small margin, but
never passed the Senate.
Now the Dickstein bill has pass
ed the House without dissent and
is expected to pass the Senate. 1t
has the support of War, Navy and
Justice Departments, whose Off
cials hope it will prove to be a
morale builder among the foreign
born.
When D'Alesandro saw this bill
emerging, he pocketed his person

Most of the persons affected by

Congressman Tommy D'Alesan-
dro is the father of a revolutionary
change in the ideas governing U.
S. citizenship - ideas which are
about to become law.
According to the proposed change
it will be possible for all immi
grants who came to this country
prior to 1924, but who have not be-
come citizens, to apply for natur-
alization without the usual seven
year limitation. In other words,
they won't have to wait years
after making application.
Other drastic changes would
make it necessary for an immi-
grant to sign the petitions in his
own hand, or to speak the English
language. Also the applicant will
be exempt from all educational re-
quirements. He will be required
only to take the oath, renOunce
foreign allegiance and thoroughly
satisfy the authorities of his good
moral character
D'Alesandro points out that
there are thousands Of Industrious
hardworking foreigners whose
own sons and daughters have be-
come citizens, but who themselves
remain the forgotten people of
America" Most of them, in origin
ally applying for citizenship papers
had previously renounced allie
glance to their former fatherlands
when they underwent the educa-
ton exams, they failed to make
the grade. Consequently they be.
came persons virtually without a

The Governor is convinced that

For the record it should be noted
that Mrs. Whitehurst did not re-

Corporation, it is pointed out, drive
many miles each day to and from
work, and many of these cars are
now carrying only one or two per-
sons. AS a result, tires are being
worn out with the minimum num-
ber OF persons transported.
There is absolutely no chance of
defense workers being placed on
the tire priority list simply be-
cause they are working in a vital
defense industry, it is reported.
And when these tires are no longer
usable, the problem of transport
ing these workers to the various
plants, including Fairchilds, will
present a question not easily an
swered. Hence the survey made
here several days ago.
This week, members of the
Chamber of Commerce and officials
of the United States Employment
Service, discussed the matter at
length but came to no definite plan.
other than appointing commit
tee to give the matter more study
and report its finding at later
date. 1t is believed that it will be
necessary to re-map the entire
transportation set-up in this sec
ton so that those persons who
find themselves without tires for
private cars, will be brought into
Hagerstown by bus, train and even
trucks
The transportation problem will
become serious as time goes on,
and business men here are some

If the problem can be satisfactor-
