Courts May Find Aspects
Of Draft Unconstitutional
SAN FRANCISCO--(CPS)The San Francisco Federal court
has handled down a draft dee is ion
that could significantly disturb
draft procedure while freeing a
number of . present 1-Aers from
induction.
Judge Robert I. Peckham ruled
this week thaf universally enforced regulation that prevents
draft registrants from being accompanied by legal counsel when
summoned before a local draft
board is invalid and '' constitutionally suspect."
Judge Peckham was the magistrate who ruled earlier this
year that members of draft boards
must be residents of the area
from which they send men.
Those men who have appeared
before draft boards, usually on
summons for being delinquent in
registration, and who have stood
mute or requested the assistance
of an attorney or counsel have
normally been held in contempt
and classified 1-A. Their classifications are now invalid and most
draft boards will probably simply
ignore them rather than submitting to the legal .rigamaroll
necessary to change the person's
classification or validate the 1-A
status.
Judge Peckham clearly ruled
that only Congress can refuse
~he right of counsel for any person being interogated by federal
institutions and that no legal delegation of this power had ever been
granted
the
President (and
through him local draft boards).
Besides, Peckham
continued,
"such a delegation would be con~
_stitutionally SUSJ?eqt. '~
The decision affects all draft
boards under jurisdiction of the
government unless challended or
overturned in a higher court.

of the semester. The delay now
will cover the entire academic
year.
The White House estimated
