Failure to Register Subject to Penalty

Calling attention to the fact that
 failure to register is violation of law and makes the delinquent lia-
 ble to penalty, John L. McCor- mick, Alaska Territorial Director of Selective Service, today out lined registration 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" MT. Mccormick said, lis a continuing ! obligation and must be fulfilled regardless of whether men are be- ing inducted into the armed forces 1 under the SelectiVe Service Act. The obligation to register is inn posed by the Act on every male, citizen or resident, in the United States between the ages of l8 and 26, with only the general eXcep- | tiOns of members of the armed forces on active duty and certain aliens"
 The young man who becomes Is is required to register at 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 nos return; he may regis ter at the learest local board con- Venient to him and the record will be sent to the local board having jurisdiction, even though it is in another State. After he registers, it is mandatory that a registrant keep his local board informed of any change in his address or change in status, the director pointed out. This applies after he becomes 26 as well as before. Questioned concerning the man who did not register during the designated registration days-Au- gust 30 to September IS, l948- because he was then on active duty in the armed forces, MT. Me COrmick explained that he is re- quired to register within 30 days of the time he was separated from the armed forces.
 Any person who changes from a status which did not require his registration to a status which does require it must register promptly 10 be within the law" MT. McCor- mick said, adding that those who were out of the country on the registration days must register within five days following the date they re-enter the United States, which includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is- lands.
 MT. Mccormick said that non citizens entering the United States for the first time are required to register at 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, MT. Mccormick pointed out, is five years in prison or fine of $10,000 or both.

If the proposal which has been made to Territorial banks to han dle general fund Territorial war rants at face value, pending re- ceipt of tax revenues to clear them, is finally agreed upon school districts and other creditors of the Territory may soon be getting their money. Of the about a mil lion and a quarter in unpaid bills, biggest item is refunds to school districts. Territorial TreaSu r Henry Roden, who has been nego- tiating with the banks, reports most of them appear to be agree able. Under the plan, the banks would take the warrants at full value and hold them until the Treasurer received enough tax re- ceiptS to clear them. Request would then be made to the next Legislature to allow the banks six per cent interest for the service. The proposal concerns only gener- al fund warrants. There is money to meet special or ear-marked fund warrants. Fact is that if the Territory could use its special funds for general purposes 1t could pay its bills and have a mil lion or so on hand.

URBAN LEAGUE
ASKS FOR FEP
Discrimination Hit BY
Berry Memo

The United States attempt to
attain moral leadership of the
world is endangered by treatment
of minorities. Edwin Berry ex-
ecutive secretary of the Urban
League of Portland. said Tuesday
in a memorandum supporting the
fair employment practices bill in
the state senate.
. In the memorandum, addressed
to Senator Williad McAllister and
members of the senate committee
on labor and industries, Berry
asserted that "any limitation of
the right to work is also a limi-
tation of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
I'VE are struggling, and against
great odds, for the moral lead
ership of the world" Berry said.
"This leadership we must attain.
However, it is greatly endangered
by the disparagement between
our enunciated principles of equal
ity, brotherhood, Justice for all,
and our actual treatment of citi-
zens of minority groups.
U. S. Leadership at Stake
1--WE cannot give leadership or
instill confidence in the war-weary
and deprived people of the world
il we continue to permit dis
elimination in opportunities for
our own citizens to earn a living"
In addition, Berry said, 1t is
"uneconomical to permit our pre-
sent discriminatory employment
proctices to go unchecked" since
welfare, police, social work and
medical care demands go up, more
space is needed in correctional
and mental institutions, and worth
while citizens are being robbed
of their productivity.

OREGON SENATE BODY HEARS VARIOUS
GROUPS PLUG FOR STATE FEPC Law
22l6 S. E. 37th

SALEM, Oregon A six-man
senatorial committee. chaired by
Sen. William M. McAllister Of
Medford, heard Representatives Of
various Negro and white groups
plead for passage of proposed
state FEPC measure during pub
lie hearing conducted in senate
chambers here recently. The mea-
sure, Senate Bill No. 6, is current
ly under consideration by the
senate labor and industries COM
mittee.
It's opening paragraph labels
1t as a bill for an act prohibit
ing certain practices of discrimi-
nation by employers, employment
agencies, labor organizations and
others because of race, color,
creed, national origin or ancestry;
creating the Oregon fair employ
ment practices commission; defin-
ing it's functions, powers and dut-
les; providing for its procedure,
enforcement and judicial review;
imposing penalties and making an
appropriation therefore.
Principal plea came from the
Rev. r. C. Tobin of the Roman
Catholic church who held that the
principal desire Of minorities is
to be allowed the opportunity to
work for a living" He said that
employers excuse themselves for
not hiring Negroes on the con-
tention that in my particular
business it would be very hard
to do, especially If l try it alone
Rev. Tobin held that FEPC leg
islation is necessary to introduce
fair employment practices and put
all employers in the same categ-
DRY SO that they can use the
law to back up their actions in
hiring Negroes.
A luckewarm view of the mea-
sure wat taken by Robert Elliott,
representing the Young RepuD-
licans. Although he said recent
convention of his group had en-
dorsed the legislation "as a mat
ter of common decency," he asked
the bill be amended SO that the
commission is eliminated and all
work on fair employment matters
given over to the labor commits
sioner.

legislation were Rev. Heppleth-

When did the universal frat

Love for his Maker and for his
fellow-man.
Again how long did man follow
in this pathway before he broke
the laws of love? We know next
to nothing about the doings of
primitive man in his pre-history
days. There is the story of Cain
and Abel, however recorded in
the Old Testament. There it is
related that Cain slew his brother,
and there was a Voice which
asked him where his brother was?
Gains evasive answer showed that
he possessed a sense of respons-

awareness of his guilt as MUIR

brother was. And we get the an

Samaritan which is well known
even among Sunday School chill

Man has not only resorted to
killing but he has learned how
to lie, cheat, and steal from his
brother. In fact he has violated
every law of good conduct that
has ever been submitted to him.
