When 1t became known the
Passport Once was considering
q streamlined passport, the
inost-often-made suggestion fol
streamlining it was elimination
of the birth date.
Miss Frances G. Knight, di-
rector of the Passport ONCE,
discussing the documents
changes recently. said:
Countless letters, kilograms
and telephone calls have been
received from women and men
presenting the most compelling
reasons for not showing any
birth date, or a true date Of
birth in passports.
Some people are so sensitive
over this one item that they
have made a personal tragedy
of it. They cancel trips or refuse
to travel with relatives or
friends because their true age
may become known. Reputable
citizens, who would never
dream of mutilating an official
document, go to unbelievable
lengths to alter the year Of
birth shown In their passports,
thus making the document in
valid and creating all kinds Of
problems for themselves and
the Passport ONCE"

Needed Data
But, alas, it's your birth date
which makes you different from
someone else who might have
the same name.
Another. suggestion was that

back cover. Miss Knight said
she would welcome such Q
pocket personally. but that the
cost would be too great.
Many women wanted q
