Jehovah's Witness refuses hospital service oath induction
Ollie Lee Verden Jr., 20, a shipyard welder and part time ministry student in Channelview, is charged with failure to submit to armed forces induction. He says he will not serve in a hospital as a substitute and refused the oath at induction on November 22 due to religious beliefs. Indicted by a federal grand jury on April 5, he posted a $500 bond after a Harris County Jail stay. He has never applied to conscientious objector status, believing prior injuries from a scooter crash bar him from being drafted. He was classified 1A after his August pre-induction exam.
