Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 15, 1942

 

Police Chief William Payne has received notice from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that the Attorney General of the United States has advised that "...Japanese, German and Italian aliens are prohibited form traveling except for communing from home to place of business, to place of worship, school or college, or travel within the boundaries of the municipality where they reside, unless the alien files with the Untied States Attorney one week prior to such a trip [contain] a written statement of route, destination and purpose of trip."

 

Germans, Italian, Japs Must Register

Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 22, 1942 

 

Attorney General Francis Biddle on Jan. 15 announced new regulations affecting the conduct of German, Italian and Japanese nationals throughout continental United States.

 

The new regulations, issued under authority of the Presidential proclamation of Jan. 14, 1942, relating to alien enemies, require all German, Italian and Japanese aliens to apply at the nearest first or second class, or county seat, post office for a Certificate of Identification.  The requirement applies to all enemy nationals 14 years of age or over who have not yet taken the oath of allegiance before a Federal judge, the final step in acquiring American citizenship.

 

The identification program, which will affect approximately 1,100,000 German, Italian and Japanese non-citizens, will be directed by Earl G. Harrison, former Director of Alien Registration and now a Special Assistant to the Attorney General advising on alien problems.
