Hostages In Holland
STOCKHOLM. (JTA)—Pressed by the Gestapo, the Jewish Council
in Amsterdam has issued a Rosh Hashanah appeal to the Jew is of
Holland to obey the Nazi anti-Jewish regulations emphasizing that
‘‘violation of these regulations, even when due only to carelessness or
ignorance, will result in punishment of members of the Jewish Coun
cil.”
The persistence which Dutch
Christians display in various ac
tivities designed to circumvent
the effect of the anti-Semitic reg

Census Bureau
Offers Birth and
Citizen Proof
Proof of age, relationship, citi
zenship or residence in the United
States at a certain time, for offic
ial or employment purposes is a
matter of common necessity these
days. This is especially true in the
cases of individuals applying for
payment of insurance on lives of
enlisted men, and of claims and
benefits under the veterans’ law^>.
Where facts cannot be estabUsh-
by other proof, the records of the
United States Census Bureau may
be found acceptable for the pur
pose required.
A request for a search applica
tion form should be addressed to
Bureau of the Census, Department
of Commerce, Washington, D. C-
This form is to be completed
and returned to the Census Bu
reau with a money order for SI.00
drawn on Washington, D. C. and
made payable to the Treasurer of
the United States. Personal checks
will not be accepted. Searches of
the census records will be handled
in order of receipt of this $1.00
fee.
Because of the large number of
applications, there will be a delay
of several weeks in forwarding a
report. If an immediate search is
desired, a fee of $3.00 in the form
of a money order, instead of the
regular fee of $1.00, must be paid
to cover the cost of hiring a special
searcher to handle the application
out of the regular turn.
