Show Place of Residence ! To Be Designated By Men Registering Men Can Choose Board Which They Desire 1 1 To Be Classified Under A Selective Service registrant re. -who, on the registration day of she July 1, has more than one place of residence, may choose the one her -which he wants recorded on his leen registration card as his place of jni. residence to determine the local board that will always have juris- diction over him, Major H. A. Eich, acting state director for Utah said today. On the first registration day, October 16, 1940, such registrants I were often confused as to which j place to list, Major Rich pointed " out. This was especially true in instances where men had legal residences in one community but had a temporary dwelling place in !; another. As the residence listed . on the registration card deter- mines what local board has perm-J perm-J anent jurisdiction over the regis trant, some of the men later -wished to change the address they had given, but were denied the Ml privilege because Selective Service 2 regulations prohibit such changes. si3 New Registration Cards S In the second registration on g July 1, Major Rich said, the reg- istration cards will contain a space H for the registrant to list his place (Continued on page eight) 2nd Registration Day (Continued from first page) of residence. In the event that he had more than one place, he may list his choice as his residence without interference or dictation from a registrar, Major Rich said. In addition, the registration card will have space for recording of a mail address. This may be the same place as the place of residence or it may be another address where the registrant would receive his mail more readily. Pointing out that new Selective Service regulations prescribe that there will be two places for addresses add-resses on the registration card, Major Rich said: "This new procedure is expected ex-pected to be a big improvement over that followed in the first registration reg-istration when only one space was allowed on the registration card for an address because the description of the place of residence resi-dence which fixes local board jurisdiction jur-isdiction for once and for all is never changed while the mailing address is subject to change whenever when-ever the registrant moves." Kegistrant Determines Address The regulations, Major Rich pointed out, provide: "The registrant reg-istrant shall be permitted to determine de-termine what place he desires to give as his rseidence when he is not located in one place all . of the time. The registrar shall make no effort to dictate or interfere with this choice." There is no change in the provision pro-vision that permits a local board or original jurisdiction, as determined de-termined by the place of residence given by the registrant, from transferring a man's papers to another local board for the purpose pur-pose of having that board classify, physically examine, or induct the registrant, Major Rich asserted. He emphasized that such transfers trans-fers du not disturb the jurisdiction jurisdic-tion of the original board, however. |
