Gross Urges
Students Report
Foreign Travels
Anticipating a record number
of student-tourists to foreign
countries this summer, Col. Henry
M. Gross, director of Selective
Service for Pennsylvania, re
cently issued a reminder that all
Selective Service registrants must
keep their local board informed
of their whereabouts.
He also emphasized that this
applies to registrants after they
reach the age of 20, even though
they can no longer be inducted
without their consent.
Must Report Dates
In order to comply with the law,
student-tourists departing from
this country should report to the
local board their date of depart
ure, approximate itinerary, and
date of expected return. This may
be done by mail.
Then, within five days after re
turn the registrant should again
report to the local board giving
his old address, or, in the event
of change, the new address.
Must Register
If a student-tourist becomes 18
years of age during his tour, the
law requires that he register at a
convenient local board office
within five days after the date of
his return to this country.
While he did not believe that
there was any widespread intent
to violate the law, Colonel Gross
declared that the halt in induc
tions had probably caused misun
derstanding in the minds of regis
trants as to certain legal obliga
tions.
