WASHINGTON, June 29. —The j
selective service will complete its j
registration of the nation’s man-
power Tuesday by listing their 18
to 20 year group, an estimated
3,062,000 youngsters.
’ The registration will be for all
youths 18 and 19 years old and for
20-year-okis who were born be-
tween December 1921 and
June 30, 1922. Twenty-year-olds
who reached that age before last
December 31 were registered Feb.
1«.
With the Tuesday Registration
complete, the 'government will
have a record of every man be-
tween 18 and 65 years of age,
about 43,000,006.
Under amendments to the origi-
nal selective service act, the army
may call in those in the 20 year
group. The 18 and 19 year olds
are not presently liable to service.
However, Major Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, selective service chief,
haa said that it might be necessary
to Call them. ' ____

this case swifly and thoroughly.”
Biddle revealed that "a number
of complicating legal factors”
were involved^ One arose from the
fact that two of the Nazis are cit-
izens of the United States and
six are aliens.
The citizens can be prosecuted
for treason, while the aliens can-
not. The final decision as to wheth-
er civil or military courts would
try them may rest with President
Roosevelt.
In any event, however, It was
believed that their chances of es-
caping the death penalty was
slight.
The death penalty also was like-
ly for the- "accomplicies and con-
tacts.” Officials, said they prob-
ably would be charged with trea-
