Before CHAMBERS, and TRASK, Circuit Judges, and PLUMMER, District Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
The decision and order of the district court denying citizenship to Astrup is affirmed. We believe that he is concluded by Lapenieks v. Immigration and Naturalization Service, 9 Cir., 389 F.2d 343, cert. den. 391 U.S. 951, 88 S.Ct. 1846, 20 L.Ed.2d 864.

2
He made a considered decision initially to claim his alienage as a ground for avoiding military service. We believe the situation should be tested as of the time his claim was made.

3
District Judge PLUMMER dissents for the reasons stated by Judge Duniway in his dissent in Lapenieks.
