Description

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction entered on a jury verdict of guilty for violation of the Selective Service
Act. 50 App. U.S.C.A. 462(a). Appellant reported to the induction center but refused to take the symbolic step forward for
induction into the Armed Forces of the United States. Appellant was initially classified as 1-A by his Selective Service board. In 1964 he was classified 1-Y, available for service
only in time of national emergency, on the basis of his score on the mental test administered during his pre-induction physical.
He was a high school graduate and had attended college for one semester. On April 13, 1966, pursuant to revised test standards,
he was re-classified 1-A. No appeal was taken from any of these classifications. During the month of May, 1966, he became
a member of the Nation of Islam, a religious sect commonly known as the Black Muslims. On August 17, 1966, he was ordered
to report for induction on September 1, 1966. On August 22, 1966, he appeared at his local board and requested an application
form for conscientious objector status, completed the form and returned it to the board on August 24, 1966. The local board
rejected his claim for change in status in writing on the same day.
