Description
Michael Joseph Whalen was convicted on an indictment charging that he will-fully and knowingly failed to report for and submit to induction into the armed forces of the United States, in violation of 50 App., U.S.C. § 462. We affirm the judgment of conviction. Whalen was classified I-A. On April 17, 1970, he was ordered to report for induction on May 19, 1970. On April 24, 1970, the local board received a letter from Whalen stating that he was a conscientious objector and requesting SSS Form 150. The State Director of Selective Service was advised of this letter on April 29, 1970, and by letter dated May 4, 1970, the local board was requested by Iowa state headquarters of Selective Service to ""postpone the date of his [Whalen's] induction in order that the local board may review his claim as a conscientious objector."" State headquarters further advised the local board that if it determined ""there is no basis for a reopening of the registrant's classification, he should be so advised by letter and forwarded for induction on your first induction call following the review."" On May 5, 1970, Whalen was notified of a postponement of his induction until his c.o. claim was determined.
