Texas 18 Year Olds Not Registered Under Draft Says Col Schwartz
Col Morris S Schwartz, Texas state director of Selective Service, estimates 6 000 to 8 000 18 year olds in Texas are not registered. He notes over 45 000 Texas males registered January through July, and says current statistics imply 51 000 to 53 000 should be. Some boards have increased 18 year old registrations by using school census data and other methods. The law requires registration on or within five days after turning 18, with penalties up to five years in prison and a $10 000 fine. Local boards may call unregistered men for immediate service. Most males born after August 30 1922 must register.
