"A PICTURE OF GREAT POWER.

'The Fear': A Greek Tragedy

By ART GOLDBERG
Liberation News Service
"'low To Stay Out of the Army"
by Conrad Lynn (Grove, $1.25).
Grove Press has just begun dis-
tributing a thin paperback vol-
ume that at first seems over-
priced at $1.25. The book is not
another long-lost erotic master-
. piece. It has only 126 pages and,
worst of all, it was written by a
lawyer.
But this new book may be one
of the more valuable Grove has
distributed in recent years. Its
subtitle is "A Guide to Your
Rights Under the Draft Law." The
author, Conrad Lynn, is a well-
known civil liberties attorney who
has specialized in draft cases
since World War II.
Lynn's intentions are as clear
as the title of his book. From his
wide experience with draft. cases,
Lynn knows where the draft law
is vulnerable and where it is not.
He knows how the draft machin-
ery can be clogged up, and how
and where it can be fought. The
book in effect is a manual on how
to fight the selective service sys-
tem.
Some highly interesting and
generally unknown bits of infor-
mation stand apart from the rest
of the book. For .example, a man
who now applies for conscientious
objector status no longer has to
be a pacifist. He need not even
be a member of an organized re-
ligious group, or prove, a belief'
in a "Supreme Being."
For those who would fight se-
lective service on its own terms,
Lynn points out that no lawyers
are necessary (they are specific-
ally barred) in filing appeals with
state and national appeals boards.
He notes that a case can be tied
up in the draft machinery for as
long as two years, for only the,
cost of postage. The draft boards
must supply-all appeal forms.
Draft resisters are presented
with a variety of suggestions. Fore-
most among these is the advisa-
bility of demanding a jury trial..
Lynn cites one case where two
consecutive juries would not Con-
vict a black~ draft resister even
though all the evidence seemed
to be against hin.
There is an additional reason for
demanding. a jury trial. According

to Lynn, Chief Justice Lumbard of
the Second U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals said last winter that if
every draft objector insisted on a
jury trial, two per cent of the men
called into service could force the
entire federal court system to ai
standstill.
Lynn was the attorney for David
Mitchell, perhaps the original
draft resister. Mitchell refused in-,
duction on grounds of political4
principle, namely that the war in
Vietnam violated the rules for-
mulated. by the Nuremberg Tri-
bunal. Lynn reviews Mitchell's case
and points to it as a classic way in
which the draft should be resisted.
Readers will also find out that
they may be accepted by Canada
as a landed immigrant through the
mail. They need not make a trip
to Canada before applying.
Members of . certain left-wing
political groups will perhaps, be
surprised to know that in some
cities, depending on the local
boards, many of them receive I-Y
deferments. 'These deferments
usually go to members of the
Communist Party, the Progressive1
Labor Party, Youth Against War
and Fascism, and in some cases

The Fear', which has been called the
best picture ever made in Greece, by
an Athens critic, still holds its position
as a picture of great power. A tragedy
of sex frustration that strikes you
as eminently logical.
