Grafton man temporarily rejected for military service over back injury
A Grafton man who said he would refuse induction was temporarily rejected for military service due to a back injury. Murry Shaw Jr., a West Virginia University student, underwent X rays at the Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Station. He admitted to a December toboggan accident but had no papers to prove his claim. The rejection tied to the back injury. Shaw had previously indicated he preferred not to cooperate with U.S. military action in Vietnam and had refused deferment as a conscientious objector. He earlier spoke on National Draft Resistance Day about drafting cards, stating he would face law violations. He was told to return for another exam later.
