Defense Used Arguments.
During the trials, defense lawyers
in attacking the constitutionality OF
the selective service law advanced
five arguments:
/. That the act violated the Bill
of Rights.
2. That it was defective because
it was discriminatory.
8. That it failed to provide ade-
quate notice to selectees and did not
provide for adequate hearing.
4. That it exceeded the powers of
Congress.
5. That it delegated vast legisla-

contended that the entirely un-

he was in good health and had been
unusually cheerful of late
There were others, however, who
thought the Chief Justice would re-

The Chief Justice has given no

NEW YORK, June 2.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals to-
day unanimously affirmed sentences
imposed on five objectors to the
Selective Service Act. 1t was the
courts first ruling on appeals from
enforcement of the punitive pro-
visions of the law.
Three of the men, none of whom
registered for selective service, stood
trial and were convicted. The
two others pleaded guilty.
The opinion, rendered by Judges
Thomas w. Swan, Augustus N. Hand
and Charles E. Clark, sets forth
that:
The validity of the Selective
Training and Service Act of 1910
and the regulations hereunder is
clear under the decisions sustaining
similar legislation of 1917. To at
tempt a distinction because the
present act applies, though no
formally declared war exists, is to
impose a difference which does not
appear in the Constitution itself.
