STATE DRAFT BOARD PASSES
MILLION MARK
Austin, Texas. — State draft
board registration passed the mil-
lion mark in February, a consoli-
dation of local board reports re-
vealed Tuesday.
The consolidated report, made by
state Selective Service headquart-
ers to the national headquarters in
Washington, showed that the local
boards (J, 7, 8, 9, and 10 had 67,-
700 registered at the end of Jan-
uary, and 58,058 at the end of
February.
At the end of 17 days of regis-
tration in August and September
1948, when the draft law required
that all men register between the
ages of 18 and 25, a total of 24,814
males of those ages had signed
registration cards.
Since that time, there has been
a continuing requirement for all
males to register on their 18th
birthday, or within five days there-
after. Under such requirement it
has taken about eight and a half
years for the registration rolls to
reach one million men.
As men grow older after they
register, some lose their draft lia-
bility at age 26, some at age 28,
and others not until they are 35
years old, depending upon refer-
ments. Some deferments keep in-
dividuals liable for induction long-
er.
No matter whether their liability
ceases at ages 26, 28, or 36, draft
registrants always have the lia-
bility of keeping their local boards
informed of their current mailing
address.
Since the present draft law was
enacted in 1948, all male|K born
since August 30, 1922, have had
and now have a legal obligation
to register, except those not yet
18.
