Slowly, silently and in single file, 500 New York taxis with "Off Duty" signs aglow last week made the 15-mile trip from a Bronx funeral parlor to Kennedy Airport. In a hearse at the front was the body of Carlos Quilly, who had been fatally shot in the back while driving his taxi, and was being flown back to Puerto Rico for burial.

The draft boards invariably acknowledge receipt of 150 and proceed to defer the student, II-S. CO claimants are eligible for all the usual deferments and draft boards are eager to put off deciding a CO claim as long as possible. In fact, a sophomore with a II-S who wrote his board a letter declaring his conscientious objection and requesting a Form 150 to file was told that he didn't have to fill out the form...
