(2) Such person on October 16, 1940, had attained the twenty- first anniversary of the day of his birth and had not attained the thirty-sixth anniversary of the day of his birth, and has not here- tofore been registered under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940: Provided, that the duty of any person to present himself for and submit to registration in accordance with any previous proclamation issued under the said Act shall not be affected by this proclamation. (b) A person subject to registration may register after the day fixed for registration in case he is prevented from registering on that day by circumstances beyond his control or because he is not present in the United States, the Territory of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the Terri- tory of Alaska on that day. If he is not in the United States or the Territory of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the Territory of Alaska on the day fixed for registration but subsequently enters any of such places, he shall within five days after such entrance present himself for and submit to registration before a duly designated registration official or selective service local board. If he is in the United States or in the Territory of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the Territory of Alaska on the day fixed for registration but because of circumstances beyond his control is unable to present himself for and submit to registration on that day, he shall do so as soon as possible after the cause for such inability ceases to exist. 3. The registration under this proclamation shall be in accordance with the Selective Service Regulations governing registration. Every person subject to registration is required to familiarize himself with such Regulations and to comply therewith. 4. I call upon the Governors of the several States and the Territory of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Territory of Alaska, and the Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and all officers and agents of the United States and all officers and agents of the several States, territories, and the District of Columbia, and political sub- divisions thereof, and all local boards and agents thereof appointed under the provisions of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, or the Selective Service Regulations prescribed thereunder, to do and perform all acts and services necessary to accomplish effective and complete registration. 5. In order that there may be full cooperation in carrying into effect the purposes of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, I urge all employers and Government agencies of all kinds-Federal, State, territorial, and local-to give those under their charge sufficient time in which to fulfill the obligations of registration incumbent upon them under the said Act and this proclamation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
