REREGISTRY OF ALIENS HERE SET

Seattle postal officials today prepared for the reregistration of all alien Japanese, Germans and Italians over 14 years old.

The nation-wide reregistration of all enemy aliens was ordered yesterday in a Presidential proclamation.

Postmaster George E. Starr said the reregistration would take place here between February 2 to 7, probably in the Postoffice Building, Third Avenue and Union Street.

He said it would be simpler than the alien registration of a year ago, as prints will be taken of the right index finger only. In the last registration, prints were taken of all fingers.

The new registration will require photographs, which will be used on identification cards.

Records of the previous registration show there are in the vicinity of Seattle 3,570 Japanese aliens, 1,188 German aliens and 1,505 Italian aliens. Five hundred and fifty-one Austrian aliens also may be required to register.
