Attorney General J. Howard McGrath today directed attention to the requirements of the Alien Registration Act of 1940, as amended by the Internal Security Act of 1950.
The Attorney General said that under the amended law any alien residing in the United States on Jan. 1, 1951, except one lawfully here in a temporary status, must notify the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Washington of his current address within ten days thereafter and during the same period in each succeeding year.
A.R. Mackey, Acting Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, cautioned all aliens that failure to comply with these provisions of the law will subject them to presecution. Mr. Mackey also said that an address report card should be used in making the required reports, and that Alien Registration numbers should be printed on the form. The card may be obtained at any Immigration and Naturalization Service Office or any post office.
