Court Begins to Resolve Draft Law Questions
The Supreme Court acts slowly on draft law issues raised by the Vietnam War.

The cases signal cautious moves ahead in categorizing exemptions and testing punitive use of draft rules.

The central question remains whether it is constitutional to top the draft list with so-called misguid ed registrants.
