KEEP SELECTIVE SERVICE
BOARD INFORMED
Selective Service registrants are required
by lav to keep their local board infoimod
uhon they chahge the ir'address aftor fhoy’
becomo 26 yoars of ago, as veil as before.
John L. McCormick gave the foregoing re
minder today in discussing vhat ho said vas
a gonaral misunderstanding as to responsi
bility of registrants vho are boyond the ago
of liability.for service.
"Mon cannot bo inducted aft or they roach 26
under tho Scloctivd Sorvico Act of 1948,"
Mr. McCormick said, "but that does not moan
they aro roliovod from obligation to koop
thoir Ideal boards informed as to a now
addross, fchoro they may bo reached by mail,
in other words."
Mr# McCormick quotod from Section 15 of the
Selectivo Service Act of 1948 as follows:
w fIt shall bo tho 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 President.*"
Tho following regulations issued by tho
Prosidont are applicable, Mr. McCormick
said:
"It 3hall be the duty of each registrant.
to koop his local board advised at all times
of the address whoro mail will reach him,
Tho mailing of any ordor, notice, or blank
form by the local board to a registrant at
tho address last reported by him to tho
local board shall constituto notico to him
of the contents of tho communication,whether
ho actually roceives it or not."
"Tho wording is cloar," Mr. McCormick said,
"and plainly indicates the intent of Con
1 gross—-although a man canft bo drafted
after he is 26, his responsibilities under
tho Act aren't over rhon ho doos roach that
l ago."
