Draft Board Rejects
Cammack's Appeal

The appeal of William Cammack,

by Draft Board No. 2 and the youth,
now under $1,000 bond on charges
of violating the Selective Service
Act, has been placed in class la,
A. j. Driscoll, chairman of the
board, said today.
This action, taken by the board
at a meeting late yesterday, cli-
NAKED efforts carried on since
Cammack's 18th birthday on Janu-
ary Is to have him registered and
classified. He now has 10 days,
according to Mr.. Driscoll, to apply
to the District Board of Appeals for
a reversal of the draft boards de-
cision that he is not entitled to the
status of a conscientious objector.
Cammack's application for this
classification was made following his
arrest by United States marshal

Mr.. Driscoll after the youth had
refused to register for the draft.
His aunt, Miss Helen Newman, with
whom the youth lives at $500 Tilden

failure to register was due to illness.
A doctor who examined him at the
time OF his arrest found him or
ganically sound.
