Summary
In Venus v. United States, 368 U.S. 345, 82 S.Ct. 384, 7 L.Ed.2d 341 (1961), rev'g, 287 F.2d 304 (9th Cir. 1960), the Court of Appeals affirmed the registrant's conviction for violating 32 C.F.R. § 1641.3. One judge dissented, primarily arguing that the registrant should have been able to rely on meeting the requirements of the regulation by having furnished the board with the address of his employer and his parents — the persons who would always know his whereabouts.
