Jews, Arabs Both
Suffer Casualties
TEL AVIV, Israel, {/P) — Fresh
bloodshed in a Jewish-Iragi battle
left Israel’s front tense yesterday.
Israeli and Iragi troops fought
for two hours Monday on the po
tentially explosive Sharon Valley
sector. Both sides suffered casual
ties.
An army spokesman said a Jew
ish punitive expedition clashed
with Iraqi regulars. Jews said the
Israel" troops were hunting Arab
raiders accused of killing two set
tlers, kidnaping two women and
rustling cattle in the area of Tira,
a Jewish village 1G miles northeas'
af Tel Aviv.
(Tira lies in Israel about a mile
west of the Arab-Jewish partition
lined
The central front has been quiet
under the United Nations truce for
weeks, while attention centered
on warfare in the south between
Israel and Egypt, another of the
Arab nations which sent troops in
to Palestine last spring.
However, an Arab League re
port from Cairo that Iraqi troops
had been ordered to join the
Egyptians in the renewed fighting
drew official attention here last
Wednesday. An Israeli' army
spokeman said: “Many Israeli
commanders will be only too hap
py if the Iraqi army commanders
. . . start fighting.”

Selective Service
Regulations
Selective Service registrant? are
rc it i ccl by law to keep their local
boe. a informed when they change
their address after they become
26 years of age, as well as before.
John L. McCormick gave the
foregoing reminder today in dis
cussing what he said was a gan
eral misunderstanding as to re
sponsibility of registrants who are
beyond the age of liability for
service.
“Men cannot be inducted after
.hey reach 26 under the Selective
Service Act of 1948,” Mr. McCor
mick said, ‘‘but that does not
mean they are relieved from obli
gation to keep their local boards
informed as to a new address,
where they may be reached by
mail, in other words.”
Mr. McCormick quoted from
Section 15 of the Selective Service
Act of 1948 as follows:
“ 'It shall be the duty of every
registrant to keep his local board
informed as to his current address
and changes in status as required
by such rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Presi
dent’.”
The following regulations issued
by the President are applicable,
Mr. McCormick said:
"It shall be the duty of each
registran* to keep his local board
advised at all times of the address
where ma:l will reach him. The
mailing of any order, notice, or
blank form by the local board to
a registrant at the address last re
ported by him to the local board
shall constitute notice to him of
the contents of the communica
tion, whether he actually receives
it or not.”
“The wording is clear,” Mr. Mc
Cormick said, “and plainly indi
cates the intent of Congress—al
though a man can’t be drafted af
ter he is 26, his responsibilities
under the Act aren’t over when he
reaches that age.”
Mr. McCormick added that he
was reminding Alaska’s local
boards of the Act’s provisions and
of the regulations.
