REMINDED OF OBLIGATION TO OBEY
 REGISTRATION RULES

Tt has come to my attention that, through misunderstanding of the law or of Selective Service regula- tions, a number of aliens have failed to register as required by law" John Mccormick, Territorial Director of Selective Service. said today.
 "The Selective Training and Serv- ice Act of 1940 states that except as otherwise provided in this Act, it shall be the duty of every male citi- zen of the United States, and of every male person residing in the United States, to register. AS male persons residing in the United States, all declarent aliens must reg ister, and nondeclarant aliens must register unless they are, by Selective Service regulations, considered to be non-residents of the United States, he stated.
 All men who have not yet regist- cred, and are in doubt concerning their status may obtain complete information regarding this matter from the Selective Service office here. Complete information con- corning the procedure to be followed can also be obtained from the Se- lective Service office.
