Clay vows to face jail rather than relent on army induction
Cassius Clay says he will go to Houston for the April 28 induction and stand on his religious beliefs if his exemption bid fails. He prays five times daily as a Black Muslim minister and insists he is ready to suffer punishment or even face machine guns to follow his faith. The Supreme Court denied his injunction request, and lower courts declined to halt the draft order, with attorney Hayden Covington promising further maneuvers.
