(United States Reports)
Clay v. United States
Opinion of the Court
C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari granted limited to Question 4 presented by the petition which reads as follows:
“4. Whether petitioner’s conviction, should be vacated in light of this Court’s decision in Welsh v. United States, 398 U. S. 333 (1970), because the denial to petitioner of a conscientious objector exemption may have been based upon the Department of Justice’s erroneous characterization of his objections to participation in war as ‘political and racial’ rather than ‘religious’?”
