Abbott to serve indefinite term
for violation of draft laws

University graduate Stephen E.
Abbott was sentenced last Friday to
t r custody of the U.S. attorney
gui.eral on the charge of violating the
Sp'ective Service Act by refusing to
submit to Army induction.
,r.S. District Court Judge Robert
Van Pelt imposed the sentence of a
maximum of three years in prison
after denying Abbott's appeals for a
judgment of acquittal or motions for
& new trial.
The sentence handed to Abbott is
an indefinite term, providing no
minimum time to be served Abbott
could not serve more than three years
hi prison, but under the Federal Youth
Corrections Act, federal authorities
could release him any time.
A federal court jury in Lincoln
found Abbott guilty Jan. 10 of refusing
to step forward for induction into the
Army at the induction center in
Atlanta. Ga., on Oct. 19, 1967.
Immediately after his sentence was
handed down, Abbott filed notice of
appeal to the Court of Appeals in
St. Louis. Abbott based his appeal
on the grounds that his original draft
classification was incorrect. II e
maintained that his Lancaster County
draft board should have classified him
as a conscientious objector instead of
the 1A rating he received.
Abbott said that his status as a
conscientious objector is the result of
hi Catholic religion. However, draft
board members who testified at Ab
bott's trial said that they did not
believe that the accused was sincere
in his religious convictions. The pro
secuting attorney maintained that
Abbott's opposition to serving in Viet
nam was political rather than
religious.
Judge Van Pelt told Abbott that he
could modify the sentence within the
next 120 days, and said that he would
consider any proposals made by Ab
bott concerning performing civilian
work under the custody of a probation
officer. But he cautioned Abbott that
he was not assuring him that the
sentence would be modified, and Ab
bott has not made proposals for
civilian work as yet.
Assistant District Attorney Duane
Nelson recommended a sentence of
two years in prison, and objected to
the idea of allowing Abbott to perform
civilian work. He maintained that it
would defeat the purpose of pro
secuting Abbott and would eliminate
any deterrent the trial would have
on other vountr men contemplating
refusing induction.
Abbott is presently free on $500 bon-l
and has returned to his work as a
graduate student at Emory University
in Atlanta.
A famed geneticist, educator and
XU alumnus, Dr. George W. Beadle,
is in Lincoln this week for a series
of public lectures.
Beadle, a Nobel Prize winner and
former President of the University of
Chicago, is famous for his research
on the fruit fly and the red bread
mold.
The University graduate, who is
now director of the Institute for
Biomedical Research of the American
Medical Association, lives in a unique
multi-racial neighborhood in
Chicago.
"About 70 per cent of the faculty
members of the University of Chicago
live there," Beadle said Tuesday
afternoon at a press conference.
The area was formerly inhabitated
by unemployed, unskilled workers and
minority groups. Now the community,
known as Hyde Park, has residents
from a wide range of races, income
groups and religions.
The University of Chicago, in con
junction with local, state and federal
government, has pumped millions of
dollars into the area.
Commenting on higher education,
Beadle said that the United States
has one of the strongest systems in
the world. It is necessary that
universities be alive, vital and highly
competitive. A federal system of col
leges, where everyone is treated alike,
is not desirable, he said.
Beadle will give a semi-technical
lecture Wednesday and Thursday
evening at the Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education Auditorium. His
appearance this week is sponsored by
the department of zoology.
