New Alien Law Emphasizes Cooperation Over Persecution
Harrisburg July 8. Secretary of Labor and Industry Lewis G Hines said the new Pennsylvania alien registration will be handled on a basis of cooperation, not persecution, as about 300000 aliens must obtain and carry registration cards to hold jobs. Two Philadelphia residents challenged the law in Scranton federal court seeking a temporary injunction, arguing federal supremacy and due process concerns. The registry requires annual re registration each December, and a director for the bureau has not yet been chosen.
