III. S. Customs Form
To Be SimpIified
BY the Associated Press

A streamlined baggage decla-
ration form-designed to ease
the paperwork for travellers en-
tering the United States-will
be placed in use late this month,
the Customs Bureau says.
Customs Commissioner Ralph
Kelly said yesterday the SIM
plified form, the first revision in
more than so years. 'is in line
with the Presidents program OF
facilitating international travel
wherever possible"
1t drops much of the puzzling
design and highly formal Ian
guage of the old form and the
bureau said it should minimize
the necessity of lengthy expla-
nations to travellers.
The new blank will be intro
duced August 81 at all customs
stations except those along the
Mexican border. A special law
applies to travel from Mexico
into the States Of Texas. New
Mexico. Arizona and ports of
entry in California south of Los
Angeles.
For these points, another new
form is being devised, the bureau
added.
