Draft card destruction figures cited by Hershey official
Draft chief Lewis B. Hershey reported that 618 persons in 46 states have turned in burned or otherwise disposed of draft cards. About half were vulnerable to the draft as they were in classifications likely to be called soon, while the rest were 4F or not subject to immediate call. The figures followed a spike in card burnings last fall and protests near the Pentagon on October 21.
