Enemy Aliens Must Register In February Attorney General Francis Biddle today announced new regulations affecting the conduct of German, Italian and Japanese nationals throughout continental United States. The new regulations, issued under authority of the Presidential proclamation of January 14, relating to alien enemies, require all German, Italian and Japanese aliens to apply at the nearest first or second class or coun-ty-seat post office for a certificate of identification. The requirement applies to all enemy tionals 14 years of age or over who have not yet taken the oath of allegiance before a federal judge, the final step in acquiring American citizenship. The identification program, which will affect approximately 1,100,000 German, Italian and Japanese non-citizens, will be directed by Earl G. Harrison, former director of Alien Registration and now a special assistant to the Attorney General advising on alien problems. Hie regulations provide that all German, Italian and Japanese nationals, residing in all states except California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Utah and Idaho, are required to file applications at the nearest first or second class or countyseat postoffice between February 9 and February 28, 1942, elusive. In the western states named above, they must file applications between February 2 and February 7. Failure to comply with the new regulations may be punished by severe penalties, including possible internment of the enemy alien for the duration of the war. The regulations require enemy aliens, in applying for identification certificates, to provide s photograph of themselves to be attached to the identity card and to answer a number of questions concerning their current activities. Printed directions for the filing of applications will shortly be available at postoffices. The regulations provide that after a careful check has been made of each application, the applicant will be provided with a certificate of identification bearing his photograph, index fingerprint and signature. He will thereafter be required to carry the certificate with him at all times. In announcing the new regulations, the Attorney General said: “The objective of the Department of Justice in issuing identification certificates to aliens Of enemy nationalities is the dual one of strengthening our internal safety and protecting the loyal alien, even if he has become technically an alien enemy. The plan for issuing these certificates was worked out after consultation. with Lieutenant General J. L. DeWitt, commander of the Ninth Corps Area. “I want to make it fclear that in no sense will our issuance of identification certificates be reregistration of a portion of the alien population. We are entirely satisfied with the results of the 1940 national registration of aliens, and this new procedure will not duplicate it We deem it essential, however, for the protection of loyal alien enemies as well as for our own national safety, to obtain supplementary information of all German, Italian and Japanese non-citizens and provide them with identification certificates bearing their photographs.”

Inventory Of Trucks Pushed With the U. S. Army already making use of the inventory records so far obtained in one sec-. tion of the country, Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee announced today that the federal government has called for the utmost speed in completing the national truck and bus inventory and that New Jersey will attempt to have its part of the job done before the official deadline of January 81. Local civilian-defense councils in the state have been asked by Commissioner Magee to make personal calls on truck and bus owners who have not returned the inventory questionnaire cards mailed to them in recent weeks. Many -of the councils have already begun this work. “Due to the turn of events since December 7, it is imperative that the inventory be completed at the earliest possible moment,” said the Commissioner. “The need for the information requested from truck and bus owners is becoming more and more apparent by the hour.” Returns have already been received from 180,000 bus and truck owners in the state, or 86 per cent of the total registered. There remain 20,000 owners still to return their questionnaires. For the entire country, the percentage of returns is about 60. Twenty-one states have returns of 80 per cent or more and 10. states have returns of 90 per cent,' or more.

Make Loans For Poultry Feed For the first time, loans are being made by the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office for feeding poultry. “Whereas in the past the loans have been to plant crops or to feed work animals and dairy cows, the service has now been extended to poultrymen,” Henry H.

Defense Boosts Use Of Phones Active participation by nearly every community in New Jersey during 1941 in the nation's task of arming, clothing, feeding and sheltering the country's land, sea ' forces was reflected in

of a record volume of

telephone service, the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company stated in a preliminary report

of the year's operations.

The company installed over 200.000 telephones and removed nearly 150,000, to end the year with a net increase of about 52.000 telephones and a total in service of approximately 825,000. This total is over 90,000 more than were in use two years ago, and more than 120,000 over the number in service three years ago. The effect of war and New Jery’s key part in production for military needs is reflected in a heavy volume of telephone traffic which at the year-end was exceeding 4,000,000 calls daily

Four Attend Youth Forum Conclave Miss Willmira Cresse, ' Hollis McPherson, of Cold Spring; Miss Elizabeth Wetzel, of Wildwood, and James Fisher, of Green Creek, represented the Cape May County Youth Forum at the cent Farm Bureau meeting the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel Asbury Park. The four county representatives were among the 90 youth delegates from all parts of New Jersey. At the afternoon meeting a discussion oh “Youth’s Part in the National Defense” u

held.

The entire group contributed the discussion and pointed < that they might help by doing some of the following things: Learn to use farm and home machinery more efficiently by attending school and adult classes; conserving now discarded farm and home machinery by repairing it and making it useable again; doing more sewing and renovation of home textiles; joining in more and better community recreation.

Collecting Auto Tags For Defense Metals With more than 3,000,000 motorists in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the District of Columbia preparing to discard their 1941 license tags, the Keystone Automobile Club announced yesterday it will serve as a reclamation agency to convert the

old tags to war needs.

Every office of the club in the two states and the District will receive tags as they are replaced by 1942 plates and turn them over to the government. Maryland has decided to use the

old tags this year.

“The need for scrap metals is strongly emphasized,” said J. Maxwell Smith, president of the club, “and the coincidence of the March 31 deadline for old tags will make available at one time a tremendous volume of scrap. “Under ordinary conditions, discarded tags probably would find their way into junkyards over a period of months. Our plan is to make every club office a receiving station so that rapid accumu-

dertaken.

Metals and other materials used in telephone wires and equipment are also war necessities, and the company, during the year, cut its use of them qg. much as possible, employing substitutes and supplementing its supply of new materials by engaging in a re-use program, taking up old cable and copper wire in various locations and using it in others where need existed.

Heavy production coupled with _ favorable market means that income from eggs should exceed $600,000,000. The nation's hens expected to produce forty billion eggs this year, on the basis of production figures assembled at, the Chicago Mercantile Ex-

change.

Defense buying and sales promotion activities were prime reasons for the higher price. Chain stores,' which last year purchased than a third of the eggs produced in New Jersey, report consumer demand holding rather well, aided by higher national income and mass distribution methods which reduce the spread between producer and consumer

prices.

The favorable price situation is illustrated by the fact that, as an average this season, only 5.84 dozen eggs have been required to buy 100 pounds of poultry ration, compared with 7.51 dozen last

Blue Plat Special... Uncle Sam’s paratroopers, going “downstairs” on business, carry three square meals in one small pocket of their uniforms. It’s very special food—powdered, concentrated—calories carefully counted—but complete from soup to coffee. It gives husky men the reserve power to keep going when other supplies are cut off. Reserve power is just as vital in industrial's in military emergencies. When tank factories, plane plants and shipyards began to eat up more and more electric power, reserve rations were ready. Reserves built up in advance by the business men who manage America’s power companies. . . . Reserves that met almost every defense demand ovemighL . . .

planned and inter-connected systems. " But no power reserves could continue to satisfy hungry, humming machines indefinitely. So the electric companies have been working fast to keep ahead. They put over two and a half million more horsepower into production during 1941—enough to light one-quarter of all the nation’s homes! Here is a basic defense industry, able and willing to do its part—glad to pledge all-out cooperation with government and industry—until the skies and seas around America are secure and free forever!
