In San Antonio a federal judge ordered the Army to discharge Pvt. Paul G. Hackett of Toledo as a conscientious objector. Judge John H. Wood Jr. said recent rulings render it nearly impossible to deny CO requests, citing the 5th Circuit and the burden of proof on hard facts. Hackett, a former seminary student, entered service last July and sought discharge last November citing antiwar beliefs.
