IRON CUARDIST EDDIE’ OF U. §.
He Hasn't Money for a Movie Now; He Joined To Make a Living.
By GEORGE WELLER
> amt, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times Bay nd The Chicago Daily News, Inc.
SUFIA, Feb. 25.—Groping through the deepening blackouts that nightly engulf the maze of Bucharest’s boulevard, a young citizen of the United States, who used to be the only American in’ the Iron Guard,
watched young German soldiers head into a Mr. Moto movie, and wished aloud that he had the price to follow them. Call him Eddie, not to get him into any more trouble. Eddie is a tall, dark-haired boy of 20 who talks American as well as Rumanian. He has been here since he was 16. Eddie’s father was an American traveling man, his mother, a Rumanian, and they spent the first 15 years of Eddie's life between homes from Chicago to Miami. His parents were divorced and his mother married a Rumanian en- . gineer. Though born in Harrisburg, Pa. Eddie was registered on his mother’s passport. Two weeks after the party reached Rumania, Eddie's stepfather died, and a year later his mother passed on, penniless.
His American swimming style got him a job as lifeguard, and he sang awhile in a night club, until the war ended tourist trade. A faithful subscriber to American athletic periodicals, he commenced making translations for Iron Guard newspapers. His Rumanian uncle, a mid-dle-generation Guardist, promised a starry future in the business of nationalism if he would become a, regular Guardist. The Guards’ anti-Semitic program ‘had not turned into a program; Eddie paid no attention to it and tried to keep both his Jewish friends and the good thing ‘had. : During the revolution Ed into hiding, but the dragnet finally got him. At the court-martial. when the officers heard that he had not taken part in the fighting they let him off with a fine and deprival of his right to work as a newspaperman. But they also took away all his papers. Eddie joined the scores of other Guardists- and democratic newspapermen living off their wits. He has nothing left now but the number of the Harrisburg birth certificate.

Virgil A. Sly, secretary of the board of directors, said that if the plans are approved the campaign probably would extend through the United States and Canada, “Operating expenses of various undertakings by the Disciples of Christ have increased considerably because of the European war,” he said. “The cost of travel for foreign missionaries is more because of the out-of-way routes they must travel to reach their destination.” Mr. Sly said that the program drawn up by the board of directors in today’s sessions would ke considered for final approval at & meeting of the board of review Thursday.
Other Committees
The fund, if approves, would benefit foreign, home and state missions, religious and highér education, church extension, Christian unity, international converition and social education and welfare.

BIRTH RECORD SYSTEM LOOSE
Alien Seeking Job Could Get Certificate Easily by Affidavit.
By HARRY MORRISON
An alien seeking employment in a vital defense industry could obtain a fraudulent birth certificate without much difficulty under the present methods of issuing such certificates, it was revealed today. Representatives of both the City and State Health Boards said that when there is no record of an applicant’s birth, the Boards are issuing certificates on an affidavit signed by a person professing to be a member of the applicant's fam-
ily. The health officials admit there is the possibility of fraud in such instances, but they don’t know what to do about it. All defense contracts contain a provision barring the plant from employing aliens in order to guard against the possibility of sabotage. In conformity with this provision, the plants demand that job applicants present birth certificates or naturalization papers.
Demands Spurt
The State laws provide that health boards shall furnish, upon request, birth certificates where there is an official record of the birth. Last July, when the demand .for birth certificates took a sudden spurt, officials declined to issue certificates except where there was a record of the birth. Then, because so many persons, of whose birth there were no records, sought certificates, “we just started giving them out on affidavits,” an official of the State Health Board explained. “It was a shame to see people going without jobs just because they didn’t have birth certificates,” he he said. John Hoff, chief clerk of the City Health Board, said he was following the same procedure. About 70 certificates a day, including some based on affidavits, are issued at the City board offices, he said.
Take It for Granted
Mr. Hoff admitted there is no way of knowing if the person asking for the certificate actually is the person he says he is. “If he says he’s ‘John Brown,’ we just take it for granted that he is and issue a birth certificate,” Mr. Hoff said. “Often we haven’t the least idea if he is the man. Sometimes, I must admit, we have our doubts.” The defense plants also check the applicant's list of former employers, but even this might not stop a saboteur sent to this country several years ago by a potential enemy nation to establish a good reputation and be ready for “der tag.” Taking an accomplice along to swear to his birth, he could obtain
