Delinquencies involving
Registrants Of 28 Ysars
1 he Directoi of Selective Ser
vice under date of August 1, 1941.
wrote the Attorney General ol
the United States requesting
clarification of the situation with
respect to the prosecution of de
linquent registrants who had at
tained the age of twenty-eight
on or before July 1, 1941. The
Attorney General has written all
United States Attorneys as fol
lows:
“The recent ameudment to the
Selective Training and Service
Act of 1940 provides that all re
gistrants who are twenty-eight
years of age or older and who
ire not inducted into service by
July 1, in any year, shall be de
^fferred otherwise. A number of
Amendments to the Selective
^Service Regulations have been
issued in keeping with the change
PH; the statute, which amendments
'appear in the Federal Register
August 21, 1941. A new Vol
jliiie Three of the Regulations is
pow being prepared incorporating
twse amendments, and copies
tnll be forwarded to you as soon
they are available.
a ne enect oi the changes in
^ne Selectives Service Act and
Regulations is not to release per
sons twenty-eight yearr of age
o'1' over from the operation of the
Act, and such persons still have
certain obligations to perform.
They must of course, be regis
tered. They must file question
naires as all other registrants.
The age of a registrants is not
taken into consideration untill it
is determined upon the basis of
his questionnaire whether or not
he is to be deferred on othc r
grounds.
“Since registrants twenty eight
years of age or over still have
obligations under the Act and
Regulations, their failure to ful
fill these obligations is a crimiual
offense. Any such registrants
who are delinquent will be hand
led in the same manner as other
delinquents. When delinquency
reports are received from local
boards they should be referred to
the Federal Bureau of Invest
igation for investigation regard

less of the age of the registrant, t
No prosecutive action should {
be taken in any case untill the t
investigation is completed and t
it appears that there has been a -
willful violation,
Cases involving registrants
who are twenty-eight years of
age or over and who were delin
quent prior to July 1, 1941,
should be handled in the same
manner as they would have been
if the Act had not been amend
ed. The fact that such registrants
are now deferred from training
and service cannot be permitted
tr have th3 effect of allowing will
ful violators to escape punish
ment. This is especially mport
ant because a similar problem
will arise in future years, since j
registrants who reach their twen- j
ty-eighth b rthday and have not j
been inducted prior to July 1, in j
subsequent years, are also to be j
deffered. j
‘‘It is suggested that you com- ‘j
municate with the Criminal Di- j
vision relative to specific ques
ions or problems concerning the
iroper handling of delinquency
ases involving registrants twen
y-eight years of age or over ”
