Hershey Sees Ruling Ending C O Deferments
In Lansing, Selective Service Director Lewis Hershey warned that a federal court ruling could end conscientious objector deferments if the Supreme Court upholds it. He argued the decision might remove all CO considerations, potentially placing everyone in the draft. He noted the ruling did not bar noncombat service and projected the July 1 fiscal year draft at about 260000 men if the Vietnam war continues.
