Burning a draft card, argued the de fense, is "an integral part of free speech" and therefore protected under the First Amendment. Not so, ruled Federal Judge Harold Tyler Jr. Thus Pacifist David Miller, 23, the first U.S. citizen to be arrested and indicted under a 1965 federal law prohibiting the destruction of a draft card, last week in Manhattan became the first to be found guilty of breaking that law. Judge Tyler deferred sentencing until next month, and Miller, who works at New York's Catholic Worker Hospitality House, a religious-pacifist organization, remained free on $500 bond...

The co-signers did not impugn the motives of those responsible for Berrigan's removal, nor did they necessarily agree with his pacifist views. But, they said, as a symbolic affirmation of freedom, Berrigan should be allowed to return to his work in New York...
Within the society, Berrigan has always been considered something of a radical. He has preached and picketed on behalf of civil rights. Earlier this year his Jesuit superiors reprimanded him for reciting more of the Mass in English than the council's liturgical reforms currently permit.
