Amnesty contemplated for World War II conscientious objectors
General Tom C. Clark said the government may grant a general amnesty to WWII conscientious objectors over the present draft age. He noted the plan would exclude men aged 19 to 44 who remain subject to selective service calls. About 300 objectors are jailed for draft violations, with perhaps half eligible for release. Jehovah’s Witnesses inmates total 800 to 900 but are not considered conscientious objectors and would not be affected.
