It is expected, he said, that Congress at its next session will be asked by the International Assoclation of Identifica- tion to approve a fingerprint set-up em- bracing citles, counties and States, with & central bureau located in Wash- ington. Argentina, he said, is the only co in the world which has com- pulsor$ fingerprint legislation. ‘Tomorrow’s exercises are expected to be witnessed by several Senators and Representatives, as weli as business and civic leaders of the Capital. G. Wales, a civil service commission Dr. Ballou, head of the trict schools; Nicholas Oren, superinteiident of Prince Georges County schools, and others have accepted invitations to attend.
