Protesters Win Court Case on Draft Card Reclassifications
A U S Court of Appeals ruled 2 to 1 that former director Lewis Hershey's 1967 directive to reclassify draft boards to 1A for those who burned or turned in draft cards was unconstitutional. The ruling also found local boards lacked authority to reclassify Vietnam era protesters. The suit, filed December 1967 by the ACLU for Rev. Henry Hate Bucher Jr. and 33 New Jersey residents, challenged Hershey's October 26 memo directing high priority reclassifications.
