Naturalization reform eyed by Congressman Sweet
Washington describes proposed amendments to the U S naturalization law prompted by Iowa clerk Fred Pettit who argues the current rules unfairly penalize applicants with multi city residence. Pettit seeks witnesses in person or by deposition to verify actual years of residence and to protect ministers relocated for service. Also notes Senator Kenyon’s pure paint labeling bill advancing in Senate and pensions granted to several Iowans plus talks on civil service retirement relief for aged federal workers.
