 -Z able in case any jams should de- velop after factories and offices re- lease their employes at the end of the working day.
 The 34 presiding officers, one in each voting district and one at each of the two hospitals, have the responsibility of giving instructions to the volunteers under their juris- diction.
 Warning was given at Washington today that men obliged to register on Wednesday be sure they are near registration place on that day.
 The warning was for persons who are planning vacations or other trips that might take them to places where there are no arrangements for registration.
 Maj. Edward s. Shattuck, chief of the legal division of the Selective Service headquarters, said that al- though liberal plans have been made for registration anywhere, they would not excuse persons from reg istering whether they are on a trans continental train or canoe trip in the north woods.
 "They should make some provis- ion to be near a registration place on October 16," he said. When they return they will have to register and the local board at that time will in- quire whether their failure to regis ter is wilfull or not. In wilfull ne- glect they may be penalized
 However, if person is compel led to make a rapid trip for an urgent purpose as visiting the sickbed of dying relative-the local board might overlook late registra- tion. In any event, the registrant should register immediately an ar- irving at his first prolonged stop."
 Shattuck said that at lake and river ports special boards are being set up who will register seamen and others right at the dock. Similar provisions may be made for other services where regular schedule IS required.
 Persons wishing to volunteer may announce their intention to do so at the time they register or at any later date. Shattuck said that local boards having more volunteers, than their quota on the first draft will not be permitted to send them to an adjoining board where there are fewer volunteers.
 He also issued the following in- structions:
 Any person who is in doubt whether he must register should register.
 A person living in one part of a city and working in another must register in the district in which he lives. However. if a person is out of the city he may register wherever he is on registration day.
 The home address given must be that at which he will most quickly receive communications from his local board. He advised giving the home address at which the registrant will be for some months, since, if he is called to appear before his board-"and this might happen fre- quently"-he would have to pay his own transportation to the local board.
