Aliens Registration Starts in Pennsylvania Today
Harrisburg officials begin mass registration of an estimated 360000 to 400000 aliens at post offices statewide. William R. Douglas, head of the State Bureau for registering non citizens, says preliminary data was turned over to federal authorities to aid national enrollment under a federal act. The move follows a federal court ruling blocking state action, with Governor James appealing to the U S Supreme Court to resolve state versus federal authority in alien registration.
