Alien Registration, Signed by Roosevelt, Begins in 60 Days President Urges All To Co-operate for Effective Results By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt, terming it a measure for mutual protection of this country and "loyal aliens who are its guests,” signed yesterday leg islation requiring registration and fingerprinting of all foreigners in the United States. In putting his signature to the bill enacted by Congress as a defense against ‘‘fifth column” activity, Mr. Roosevelt said that it did not carry "any stigma or implication of hostil ity” toward aliens. Urges Co-operation. Urging co-operation of citizens and non-citizens alike, he declared, too, that it would be unfortunate if “any loyal aliens were subjected to harassment.” Meanwhile, in an address to the National Police Academy, William Green, A. F. L. president, urged that Congress outlaw the Communist party and the Nazi bund. The big job of registering and fingerprinting the estimated 3.500, 000 aliens in this country will be carried out by the Justice and Post office departments under direction of Solicitor General Francis Biddle. The plans already have been worked out by the two departments in co-operation with the Census Bu reau. Mr. Biddle had an opportunity to talk them over with Mr. Roosevelt on a cruise on the Potomac yester day afternoon. Begins in 60 Days. Under the law. registration of aliens must begin within 60 days and must be completed four months later. Mr. Biddle said in an interview that before actual registration there would be an intensive education campaign to acquaint the aliens with what is demanded of them. This will be carried out through more than 1.000 foreign language newspapers, hundreds of other pub lications, clubs, societies and churches having aliens membership, radio stations which broadcast in foreign tongues and through English speaking groups which have contact with aliens. Mr. Biddle said that an appeal probably would be made to service groups such as the Lions, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, Chambers of Commerce and the American Le gion. Post Offices to Aid. Postmasters and their aides in some 45,000 post offices will regis ter and fingerprint aliens. The Post Office Department will make out the registration cards and mail them to the aliens, turning over the original registration data to the immigra tion service for checking against the lists of legally admitted aliens. The fingerprint records will be turned over to the Department of Justice for classification and filing. Mr. Biddle said that fingerprint ing would not be entirely strange to postmasters, since those in charge of first and, second class offices now fingerprint all of their employes. Congress supplied $3,000,000 for the registration job and $500,000 for classifying and filing the finger prints. These prints are to be kept separately from others and will De litsed in an alien noncriminal sec tion. -■ ■ ■ 1 Mexico Pays $1,000,000 On U. S. Land Claims By the Associated Press.

Heretofore, some Washingtonians have made their larger purchases of alcoholic goods at the State-con trolled dispensaries in nearby Ross lyn and Clarendon in Arlington County because of the lower price prevailing there.
