Chinese To Receive Identification Cards In Arizona
Harold C. Wheeler notes a letter from C. T. Feng Chinese consul general asking Tucson police to honor new identification cards for Chinese citizens. The cards will bear the bearer’s signature and photo to avoid mistaking Chinese for Japanese after the war. The plan, agreed with San Francisco police chief Charles W. Dullea and approved by the FBI, follows wartime roundups. Also, the 1940 census shows 15.2 percent of Arizona dwellings need major repairs.
