Nondeclarant Nonresident Aliens
Not Subject to Selective Service
JUNEAU, April 21 — Emphasizing that Selective
Service has no desire or intention to enforce liability
for military service upon any nondeclarant alien who
is not a resident of the United States, National Selec
tive Service Headquarters declared that reports that
alien students and others who are temporarily in this
country are subject to service are “absolutely without
foundation.”
Several Thousand Alien Youths
This declaration by National Headquarters directly
applies to several thousand youths who have come to
this country for the sole purpose of studying, it was
said. These students, it was pointed out, in the great
majority, are citizens of the other American Republics
who, in many cases, have been especially encouraged
to attend educational institutions in the United States,
either with direct assistance from their Governments,
through grants from this Government, or with help
from private sources.
While discussing the liability of alien students and
others who are in this country in a nonresident status
and who have not declared their intention to become
citizens, National Headquarters pointed out that such
aliens are not even required to register provided their
nonresident status is duly determined bv the local Sel
ective Service boards. Under regulations issued by
the Selective Service System, aliens who consider
themselves to be in this country in a nonresident stat
us, however, must arrange for a determination of their
status by the Selective Service local board in the com
munity where they are temporarily residing.
The determination of residence status will be made
by the local board upon the basis of the “Alien’s Ap
plication for Determination of Residence” (Form 302)
together with the “Alien’s Personal History and State
ment ’ (Form 304) National Headquarters said. This
application should be made at earliest possible date,
and not later than May 16, 1942, by those who enter
ed this country prior to February 16. 1942. while those
who entered this country alter that date must file
their applications not later than three months after
the date of their entry .it was emphasized.
If the local board finds that the applicant is not “re
siding in the United States” within the meaning of
the Selective Service Act, an “Alien’s Certificate of
Nonresidence” (Form 303) will be issued to him, Na
tional Headquarters said, pointing out that the govern
ing factor in the issuance of such certificates of non
residence will be the demonstration that the applicant
has not intended to establish a residence in the United
States but has intended to leave at the expiration of
a temporary stay or, in the case of students, upon the
completion of a given course of study.
The period of validity of the certificate of nonresi
dence will, of course, vary according to the needs of
the individual case, National Headquarters asserted.
Those aliens. National Headquarters continued, who
although in the United States in a temporary status,
have registered for Selective Service, should make im
mediate application for determination of residence.
In such cases, the local board will, upon finding that
the applicant is not a resident of the United States
within the meaning of the act. issue the “Alien’s Cer
tificate of Nonresidence” and the applicant will turn his
registration certificate over to the local board for
cancellation.
In cases where the local board finds that the appli
cant is not entitled to a certificate of nonresidence he
may appeal to the Director of Selective Service by fil
ing a signed statement of such appeal at the local
board within ten days, it was pointed out.
In all cases and regardless of the date of entry into
the United States, aliens seeking to depart after a
temporary stay of more than 90 days are required to
present the “Alien’s certificate of Nonresidence” to
the immigration authorities at the port of departure,
National Headquarters emphasized.

Registration on May 20 Will Make
Possible Inventory of Manpower
JUNEAU, April 23 — Emphasizing that the Selec
tive Service Registration on May 20, 1942, will make
possible an urgently needed comprehensive inventory
of the Nation’s manpower for war production, John
L. McCormick, Territorial Director of Selective Ser
vice, today pointed out that it affects every male resi
dent in Alaska between the ages of 45 and 64 years,
inclusive, with a few exceptions made by Congress.
The requirement. Director McCormick explained, is
that all male persons not previously registered, who
had attained their forty-fifth birthday on or before
Feb. 16, 1942, and who have not attained their sixty
fifth birthday on or before April 27, 1942, must reg
ister between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on May 20, 1942. In
other words, all unregistered men who were born on,
or after April 28, 1877, or on or before Feb. 16, 1897. j
must register.
Registration on May 20, 1942, should be made at a
designated registration place of the local board area
n which the registrant has his permanent home, or in
which he may happen to be between the hours of 7
a.m. and 9 p.m.
Must Answer All Questions
Registrants must answer all questions asked by the.
registrar for notation on the registration card. It is
important that the registrant describe his place of
residence in detail and give full particulars as to the
address at which he will be sure to receive mail or
other communications.
Anyone unavoidably away from home on May 20.
1942, may register at the most convenient registration
place, the Director said, but all registrants are urged
to make every effort to register with their own Local
boards to avoid possible confusion in the future. Any
person who must register away from home also is
warned to carefully specify his home adrcss so that
his registration card may be forwarded promptly to
his own local board.
Special registrars will be provided to register men
who cannot appear at a designated registration place
because of illness or other incapacity, the Director
stated, but it is incumbent upon such men to advise a
registrar in their local board area of their inability to
appear.
A registrant who has more than one place of resi
dence may choose which one he wants recorded as his
place of residence, but no transient address may be
recorded, Director McCormick declared, and a regis
trant who lives op an RFD route which gops through
two States is required to indicate the location of his
residence, rather than his mailing adress.
After the registrant has answered all questions and
signed his name to the registration 'card, he will be*
given a registration certificate which must be in his
personal possession at all times. Failure to possess this
cerificate, or to show it to authorized persons, consti
tutes a violation of Selective Service Regulations and
is considered prima facie evidence of failure to register.
Not Liable For Military Service
Director McCormick pointed out that those men
from 45 to 65 years old now registering are not liable j
for military service under the Selective Training and
Service Act of 1940, as amended. Later, he said, they
will be required to fill out an occupational’ question-;
naire, but that will be merely for the purpose of ob
taining information.
