 In the part the letter states: "A state or nation of the earth is an organization formed by men for the government of men. The officers thereof are not the higher powers to those who have become the serv- ants of Almighty God. When the law of & worldly nation or a state conflicts with the expressed law of Almighty God the man who is a witt ness of Jehovah must obey Gods law first because he is in a solemn covenant to be obedient to Gods law.
 TheocMtic Type
 The aim of the organization to which he belongs, Errtchetti states, is the establishment of a Theocratic type of government. By this he means nation whose laws derive from God, and are administered by clergymen, presumably Jehovah Wit ness ministers.
 With respect to the status of the Witnesses in regard to selective service, he maintains, national con- scription headquarters have agreed to recognize members of the sect ss duly ordained ministers of religion. This would place them in the IV-D category, a class providing for de- ferment for priests, rabbiS and min isters. The action of the local board in refusing to acknowledge the rul- ing of the national body, is acting in defiance of its own laws, he in- SistS.
 Board 15A, on the other hand, has indicated that Errichetti has failed to furnish them with proper creden- tialS in support of this contention that he is a minister, whether of the Jehovah,s Witnesses, or any oth- CT religious faith.
 The case of the disciple of Judge Joseph Rutherford has been refer red to the Department of Justice, and he will probably be summoned to appear at hearing before the States Attorney General in Hartford. If his assertion that he is a duly ordained minister of religion" is up- held then he will be placed in the IV-D category. If. however, it is de- cided that his views are those of c conscientious objector, he will prob. ably be sent to one of the camps es- tablished throughout the country for these men.
