Plan TO Register
$4,000 Men
Four Begin Task
Tomorrow to Ease
Load on Monday

Selective service officials in nearby
Maryland and Virginia today had
practically completed arrangements
for the registration, beginning to-
morrow, of approximately $4,000 men
from 20 and through A years of age
as part of the third Nation wide
draft enrolment.
Although Monday has been desig-
mated by President Roosevelt as the
official registration day throughout
the country, draft board officials in
Montgomery, Prince Georges, Ar
lington and Fairfax Counties have
arranged for registration tomorrow
also. Montgomery County and Prince
Georges officials will register the
men on Sunday as well.
The extra days were decided upon
for the convenience of Federal en-
ployes living in the counties, as well
as to keep as many men as possible
working in the agricultural areas
Of the counties.
ID. C. Registration Monday.
Registration in the District will
be held between 7 am. and 8 pm
Monday at SO schools.
The imminence of registration
brought a warning today from Brig
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director OF
selective service, that registrants
should be careful to give their cor
rect addresses where official COM
munications will reach them with
out delay.
He emphasized that registrants
and registrars should use the ut
most caution to insure listing the
correct answers to the questions on
the registration cards.
The registration applies to every
male resident Of the United States
who has not previously registered
and is not excepted by law if on
December 81. 194l, he has attained
his goth birthday and on February
16. 1912, he has not attained his
45th birthday. In other words, those
persons must register who we're born
on or after February IT, 1897 and on
or before December 81, 1921.
In the counties public school
teachers will serve as registrars to
enable the personnel of local draft
boards to continue uninterrupted
their classification of old registrants
to fill curIot quotas.
