Morrell explained the 1-0 classi fication means the men are con scientious objector,- but subject to draft M non-combat duty. The appeals board, however, ruled they were not conscientious objectors to ail war duty because the Wit nesses said they will fight if er dered to do so by Jehovah. Morrell said courts have ruled Congress was dealing with political and not religious : wars in setting up the Selective Service system. Cases ! of the 12 acquited-will go back to local draft . boards, which presumably will reclassify the men' 1-0 again. 2 Boy Escapees Canjsht in Gresliam - T I ' Two of the six boys who fled Monday from the MacMtren School for Boys were recaptured Wednesday by city police In Gres. hare, Oregon, State Police at the Salem oftiee reported Wednesday night, u I , :, - Picked up In Gresham were James D.
