450. ReContel 444, March 20. Received scheduled visit today from “inspector” Peiping-Tientsin garrison headquarters who desired be provided March 23 with following information: List US and alien personnel including family members Americans with basic statistical information, whether Consulate has radio station, all list official and private arms.
This information being prepared for him as requested.
Inspector made no demands and gave no indication re radio station. When he returns, am considering asking whether registration station required and if so what procedure should be followed. Note, however, he obviously only minor official.
