Draft-Card Burners In Civil Commitment And Appeals

Draft-card burner John Michael Baeher, 22, of Great Neck New York, was committed Wednesday to a federal psychiatric institution after psychiatrists urged institutional care. He had been under psychiatric treatment since June 1965 for a serious pseudoneurolic-schizophrenia and was found incompetent to stand trial. In Philadelphia, three soldiers convicted of refusing to go to Vietnam had habeas corpus writs denied by the Third Circuit, with further military appeal pending. Defendants Pvt. Dennis Mora, 25, and Pvt. James Jolson, 20, both of New York, and Pvt. David Samas, 20, of Modesto, were sentenced to prison terms, hard labor, dishonorable discharge, and forfeiture of pay.
