Attorney General J. Howard McGrath this weekend reminded all aliens residing in the United States of the address report requirements of the Internal Security Act of 1950, the so-called McCarran Act. Mr. McGrath said that some aliens are apparently under the impression that if they registered under the Alien Registration Act of 1940, they need not comply with the address report requirements of the McCarran Act. He made it clear that the McCarran Act requires resident aliens to file an address report every year.
The fact that an alien registered in 1940 and filed an address report in 1951 does not relieve him of the responsibility of filing a report in 1952 and in each succeeding year. Mr. McGrath stated. The address report must be filed even though a change of address was reported during the year. Also, displaced persons, whether or not they have filed the semi-annual report of immigrant displaced persons, must file the address report. If an alien has applied for naturalization papers but has not yet been naturalized, he must comply with address report requirements. Forms for submitting the alien address report will be available at all U.S. Post Offices up to and including January 19, 1952.
