Canberra, Feb. 1.

CERTIFICATES of death covering civilians captured in New Guinea and who subsequently died may now be issued under a National Security (War Deaths) Regulation gazetted this week.

The Regulation provides that death certificates may be issued where the Minister for External Territories is satisfied the person concerned died on or after a particular date, or became missing on a particular date and is for official purposes presumed to be dead.

The Regulation does not permit the issuing of death certificates for persons believed to have died while on war ser vice.
