United States v. Alfred Edward McGee

KILEY, Circuit Judge.

Defendant McGee was convicted by a jury of wilfully and knowingly refusing to submit to induction into the Armed Forces 1 by refusing “to cooperate in induction processing.” He has appealed. We affirm.

McGee was classified I-A by his local board and ordered to report for induction January 29, 1969. He reported as ordered, signed various documents, 2 but refused to take the symbolic step forward. On February 10, 1969 the Illinois State Director instructed the local board to cancel the outstanding January 29 induction order and recommended reopening of McGee’s classification.
