Hershey's draft proposal may be junked
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey's proposed use of the draft to punish students who interfere with military recruitment appears likely to be scrapped.
The proposal would require an executive order from President Johnson to go into effect, and Justice Department sources said Thursday the constitutional grounds for such a move were shaky.
Hershey's recommendation, made in letters to 4,100 local draft boards, called for revoking the deferments of students participating in "illegal activity which interferes with recruiting."
The youths could then be re-classified, declared delinquent and ordered to report for induction. Hershey told the boards.
A Justice Department source said, however, Hershey's suggestion "just won't stand up" and appeared "very difficult to support on constitutional grounds."
He cited a Jan. 6, 1966, letter from Fred M. Vinson Jr., assistant attorney general, to Sen. Phillip A. Hart, D-Mich., shortly after Selective Service sought to reclassify University of Michigan students who staged a sit-in at the Ann Arbor draft office.
The letter said the criminal penalties of the Selective Service act "cannot be used to stifle constitutionally protected expression of views."
"No sanctions can be imposed" where such dissent does not violate laws, Vinson wrote. And in cases where it does, the applicable criminal statutes—not draft regulations—should be invoked to punish offenders.

These separate sections of the U.S. criminal code make interference with recruitment or enlistment subject to a maximum penalty of $20,000 and 20 years in jail.
