Texas Vital Statistics Registration Efforts Urged
In a Texas memo Special Agent Jesze T. Nicholas urges heightened publicity and physician accountability to raise birth certificate filings. He notes 2100 infant deaths in 1928 lacked birth certificates, and only about two thirds of births were registered, while death registrations show better compliance. He calls for public sentiment to compel doctors to file as required by law and to prepare Texas for 1929 Registration Area status. The letter targets Chamber of Commerce leader Joseph F. Leopold in Dallas for swift action.
