ALI Aliens In
United States
Must Register
Forms Will Be Available
I'm All Post Offices
Up To And Including
January 10. 1852

Attorney General J Howard Nc
Grath today reminded all aliens
residing in the United States of
the address report requirements
of the Internal Security Act OF
1850. Some aliens are apparently
under the impression that if they
registered under the Alien Regis
tration Act of 1940. they need not
scomply with the address report re-
quirements of the Internal Sec
urity Act of 1850.
This is an erroneous impression.
Resident aliens must file the Ad-
dress Report every year. The fact
that an alien registered in 1940 and
filed an Address Report in 1851
does not relieve him Of the res
possibility of filing report in
1852 and in each succeeding year.
The Address Report must be filed
even though. during the year
change of address Form ARID
was reported TO this Service. Also,
displaced persons, whether or not
they have flied the Semi-Annual
Report of Immigrant Displaced
Persons (Form DPC.12,) must file
the Address Report If an alien has
applied for naturalization papers
but has not yet been natura.iZed
he still must comply with the law
and submit an Address Report
card.
The Attorney General said that
he is interested in Immediately
securing their current addresses.
He indicated that he would not be
disposed to initiate prosecutions
where aliens failed to furnish ad-
dresses within the required period
If they came forward promptly and
furnished their current addresses at
an early date He appointed out
that the misunderstanding which
appear to have been manifested
by reports from various sections
of the country concerning who was
required to furnish the current adj
dresses may have resulted in fail
fures TO furnish shuch addresses
without any wiffsliness on the part
OF the aliens. II the failure was not
wilful and was only the result of
a misunderstanding, physical disa.
