Convictions spark rise in draft registrations
A 22 year old Mennonite, Mark Schmucker of Alliance Ohio, became the third American convicted for draft resistance since the Vietnam War. He pleaded religion kept him from registering but was found guilty. Turnage praised prosecutions boosting registration, with about 500000 men yet to register. Other cases include Benjamin Sasway convicted in San Diego and Enton Eller ordered to 250 hours of community service.
