Washington reports Justice Department officials say the policy of prosecuting all known willful Selective Service violators remains in full force despite the draft law expiring March 31. Thirty three dismissals were authorized in July under a general directive to U S attorneys, allowing dismissal when true identity cannot be proven or the three year statute of limitations runs out. Investigations into false-name registrations reveal many cases where evasion was not the motive and some men used fake names to obtain social privileges or to cash checks, with some cards tied to rackets.
