Failure to Register
For Draft May
Bring $10,000 Fine
Calling attention to the fact that
failure to register is a violation of
law and makes the delinquent li
able to penalty, John L. McCor
mick, Alaska Territorial Director
of Selective Service outlined reg
istration requirements under the
Selective Service Act of 1948,
which he said he believed were
not thoroughly understood by all
of the general public.
“The obligation to register,” Mr.
McCormick said, “is a continuing
obligation and must be fulfilled
regardless of whether men are be
ing inducted into the armed
forces under the Selective Service
Act. The obligation to register is
imposed by the Act on every
male, citizen or resident, in the
United States between the ages of j
18 and 26, with only the general
exceptions of members in the ^
armed forces on active duty and
certain aliens.”
The young man who becomes 18
is required to register at a local
board office within five days of
the date of his eighteenth birth
day, McCormick explained, but if
he happens to be away from home;
he need not return, he may regis-(
ter at the nearest local board con-!
venient to him and the record j
will be sent to the local board!
having jurisdiction, even though;
it is in another State. After he reg- j
isters, it is mandatory that a reg- j
istrant keep his local board in
formed of any change in his ad
dress or change in status, the di
rector pointed out. This applies
after he becomes 26 as well as be-'
fore.
Questioned concerning the men
who did not register during the
designated registration days—Au- ;
gust 30 to September 18, 1948—1
because he was then on active j
duty in the armed forces, Mr. Me-!
Cormick explained that he is re
quired to register within 30 days
of the time he was separated from
the armed forces. i
“Any person who changes from
a status which did not require his
registration to a status which does
require it must register promptly
to be within the law,” Mr. McCor- j
mick said, adding that those who1
were out of the country on the i
registration days must register,
within five days following the,
date thev reenter the United
States, which includes Alaska, \
Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Vir-1
gin Islands.
Mr. McCormick said that non
citizens entering the United States;
for the first time are required to!
register at a local board within six !
months following the date of their
entry.
The maximum penalty for vio
lation of any of the provisions of
the Selective Service Act of 1948,
Mr. McCormick pointed out, is
five years in prison or a fine of
$lb,000 or both.

PAA May Cancel
Some Flights
SEATTLE, (JP) — No major de
duction of services to or in Alaska
is presently contemplated by Pan
American Airways, spokesmen
for the airline said today. Despite
increasing military airlift de
mands, none of the Alaska Clip
pers has been sent to the Pacific.
“So far. we have been able to
handle our airlift commitments
with aircraft transferred from
the Atlantic and Latin America,”
PAA officials sai.
“While) it has been necessary to
cancel some individual Pacific
flights and occasional cancella
tions in Alaska may become ne
cessary, there is no general over
all reduction of regular service in
sight. Passengers booked for can
celled flights are merely rerouted
and they will be handled with the
least possible delay on alternate
flights.”
