Hs BY FEDERAL ACT

| F. D. R. Asks Co-operation

As He Puts Signature To Document.

WASHINGTON, June 29 (U. P.) —President Roosevelt

. today signed legislation re-

E . quiring the 3,500,000 aliens in

: this country to register and

leave a record of their finger‘prints with the nearest postmaster within the next four months. ~ In‘an accompanying statement he promised vigorous Federal action against disloyal aliéns, but pledged

“that there wiil be no harassment ‘of any loyal aliens. At the same

time he indicated his opposition to

attempts by states or communities - to set up local compulsory registration of aliens. “It seems to me that attempts by the states or communities to deal

' with the problem individually will ~~ result in undesirable confusion and duplication,” Mr. Roosevelt said.

‘For Protection of Aliens’ «1 ask that citizens and noncitizens alike co-operate with a full sense of the responsibilities involved 80 that we may accomplish this task of registration smoothly, quickly and ‘in a friendly manner, our aim being ~ 10 preserve and build up the loyalty - and confidence of those aliens within our borders: who desire to be faithful to its principles. “With those aliens who are gis- ~ loyal and are bent on harm to _eountry, the Government, through its law enforcement agencies, can

"and will deal vigorously.

“The Alien Registration Act of 4940, which I have just signed, should be interpreted and adminis- _ tered as a program designed not

~~ only for the protection of the coun-

. try but also for the protection of the Joyal aliens who are its guests. . “The registration and identificaof approximately three and one-half million aliens who are how within our borders does not carry . with it any stigma or. implication "of hostility toward those who, while

2 + they may not be citizens, are loyal

“to this country and its institutions.” ; Imposes Drastic Penalties

"The bill also imposes drastic penalties on fifth column attempts to

incite insurrection or disloyalty in

the nation’s armed forces. And it outlaws the dissemination of doctrines aimed at overthrowing the . Government by “force or violence.” The alien section of the measure provides a $100 fine and 30 days’ "imprisonment for those failing to register before the four-month period expires. Aliens over 14 must register personally, while those under that age limit are to be registered by the parents or guardians. Aliens “wilfully” failing to register will be subject to deportation

as well as the fine and prison sen-

tence. The measure provides maximum penalties of $10,000 in fines and 10 years imprisonment for attempts to “interfere with the loyalty of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Naval Reserve and Marine

Corps Reserve.

DEFENSE TAX SENDS GASOLINE PRICE UP

The price of gasoline, oil and grease will go up half a cent here Monday Most major companies said today the %-cent-a-gallon Federal tax on ~ gasoline, lubricating oil and grease _ as part of the new national defense . tax program will be passed on to dealers and consumers.
