American Samoa To

Tighten Up On

Because of the great number of aliens now living in and entering American Samoa, and particularly be cause of the local legislature's con cern over this, the American Samoa Government will strictly enforce regu lations on the entry of aliens into the territory from June 1. These regula tions have sometimes been waived in the past.

The regulations provide that no alien will be permitted to enter the territory unless he possesses a pass port or other travel document which is valid at the time of entry for at least 60 days beyond the expiration date of his permission to enter, and which authorises him to go some where else at the end of that period.

Aliens now resident in American Samoa have to present a valid pass port or travel document to the Attorney-General for inspection by September 1 so that they can be "properly identified".

An alien is anyone other than an American Samoa or a United States citizen.
