Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit March 26, 1970, 13317 (United States v. Samuel Dale Bittinger, III)

BUTZNER, Circuit Judge:

Samuel Dale Bittinger, III, appeals his conviction for failing to report for civilian work, in violation of 50 U.S.C. App. § 462. Finding a lack of administrative due process, we reverse.

Bittinger became a Jehovah’s Witness at the age of 12, and when he graduated from high school in 1967, he was classified as a conscientious objector.
