Spock and Coffin Plan Appeals In Draft Case
Boston AP report: Baby codes Benjamin Spock Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr and two others convicted of conspiracy to aid young men to evade the draft. A fifth defendant was acquitted.

Trial began Day 20 and extended weeks. Raskin left the 12th Street federal court.
