MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 15. 1940. PAGE FIVE - ALIEN REGISTRY INS AUG. 27 Jackson County Non-Citizens Over U May Regis- ter Here Or in Ashland Registration of aliens will be done here at the armory, it was announced today by Postmaster Frank DeSouza. A staff of clerks, sujwrvised by the post master, will do the registering. The nation-wide registering of aliens will begin August 27 and tr will continue through Decem ber 26, the work being done through all first and second class postoffices. Registration was made compulsory by the congressional act that requires all non-citizens 14 years or older to be registered and finger printed. Alien children under 14 are to be registered by their parents or guardians. In addition to the Medford armory, the Ashland postoffice will be used in registering aliens of Jackson county. Estimates of aliens in the county range upward to 1,000. Cooperation Atktd. Postmaster DeSouza asked the cooperation of aliens and the public generally in the registra tion process. He emphasized that registration and fingerprint ing carries no stigma. The law, he pointed out, provides that ail records be kept secret and con . fidential. The records, he add ed, will be available only to persons approved by the attorney-general. As an aid to non-citizens, the government will distribute spec imen forms listing the questions to be asked at registration time. These forms will be available prior to the registration period at the postoffice here and in Ashland. To make the regis tration easier, aliens are asked to fill out sample forms and take them to the armory here or the postoffice in Ashland where they will be registered. Penalty for Failure. Congress passed the alien registration act as part of the national defense program so that the government might de termine exactly how manv aliens there are in this country, who they are and where they j are. Penalties are provided for failure to register. When necessary, postal em ployes will go to the homes of aged and infirm aliens unable to go to the place of registra tion. Every registered alien will receive a receipt card to serve as evidence of his registration. After registration, the aliens must report changes of resi dence within five days of the change. It is expected, that in the en tire nation more than 3.500,000 aliens will be registered. i S rV7 ON FIRING LINE. ..AFTERWARD Mighty i lad they weren't inside at the time are these soldiers at Fort Lewis.
