Ihe picturesque regattas are held under the auspices of the Maxinkuckee Yacht Club each Sunday throughout the summer and on the Fourth of July and Labor Day.

arbara Must Face Regular Routine to Regain U.S. Rights

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U.P) that to regain the American citizenship

Immigration authorities said today

should Countess Barbara Hutton Mdivani Haugwitz-Reventlov seek

she renounced, she must follow the

procedure prescribed for thousands of alien immigrants.

The heiress to the $£40.000,000 10cent store fortune would have to prove “her attachment to the prin. ciples of the Constitution” before she could become an American citigen again, the officials said. The citizenship she renounced

least three years to regain, and probably five years under the immigration laws, Should she divorce count and marry an American citigen, she would have to wait only three years before becoming eligible for citisenship. If she remains the wife of Haugwitz-Reventlow, she would have to wait five years. T. B. Shoemaker, legal deputy to “Immigration Commissioner James H. Houghteling, sald that none of the special statutes enacted since 1922 to enable American women who marry foreigners to regain their citizenship apply to the twicemarried “Babs” because of her formal renunciation of U. 8. eitigenship last December.

Lists Requirements

To regain citizenship. she must: |

1. Apply to the U, 8 consul in London for a permanent entry visa, which the State Department may or may not grant. 2, Return to the United States and file her declaration of intention of becoming a citizen, with the clerk of the court having jurisdietion over naturalization matters. This might be either a state or Federal Court, After she has been in this country five years, providing the first papers have been filed more

her Danish

& -

| than seven vears, and had been | filed for at least two years, she may | apply for final papers. | After a 00-day waiting period, | she must then satisfy the court | that she will become “a good Amer{ican citizen.” This probably would | include examinations on civies and |on state and Federal Government | matters, and her “attachment to the principles of the Constitution and a good disposition toward the same.” She might even have to attend “Americaniration classes, with aliens to learn about the American Government. Mr, Shoemaker sald that some courts require this schooling.

Voters’ League Submits Platform Planks to Party Conventions.

Platform planks endorsing the extension of the merit system in the state service and the revision of marriage license laws have been sub=mitted to the resolutions committees of the Democratic and Republican State conventions by the Indiana

League of Women Voters, according to an announcement today. The merit plank asks for the extension of the merit system in the state service to cover guards in the penal institutions and attendants at the State hospitals. In explaining the plank urging the extension of the merit system, Mrs. Clarence F, Merrell, League president, says, “The League of Women Voters has endorsed the principle of appointment to govern= ment service on the basis of fitness to do the job since its organization in 1920, and has worked intensively for this system since 1934. Both political parties in Indiana adopted planks in their 1936 platforms supe porting the merit system. It would seem eminently fitting that the party convention in 1938 should show not only continued approval of the principle, but should specific ally promise the people of Indiana in what departments they may see the merit system work.”

Other Departments Cited

The plank as phrased by the League reads: “The merit system in the Departe ment of Public Welfare and the Une employment Compensation Division

as it has been administered under bi<partisan boards in the past two years, brings credit to the State of Indiana and is serving in both theory and practice as a model for other states. We have endorsed the principle of qualified personnel state service. We, therefore, recommend the practical applica= tion of that principle by extending it to cover all employees of state institutions, particularly the guards in the penal institutions and the at« tendants at the state hospitals, who would then be qualified persons selected by competitive tests, We further recommend that the merit system be extended to other departe ments as soon as practicable.”

Marriage Plank Submitted

For many years the League has worked for a revision of the mare riage license laws of the state. Mrs. Paul Ford, chairman of the legal status of women department of the league says, “The situation created by the passage of strict marriage laws in Iilinois served to bring to the public attention last year a which had existed for many years in regard to the laws of other neighboring states. Border counties in Indiana have long served as Gretna Greens. The League therefore urges both parties to pledge themselves to improve our state laws by inserting the followe ing plank in the platform of 1938: “Events of the past year have emphasized the need for Indiana to follow the example set by pro gressive neighboring states and to remedy the lax provisions of marriage license laws, not only for the protection and security of individuals involved, but for the health and well-being of future genera=tions. The necessity for stringent provisions for penalties and enforcement procedure to make the laws effective has also been clearly deme onstrated. We, therefore, endorse a progressive revision of Indiana's marriage license laws.”
