United States Court of Appeals Fourth Circuit.
Argued April 8, 1969.Decided April 11, 1969.

Robert G. Cabell, Jr., Richmond, Va.  (White, Roberts, Cabell & Paris, Richmond, Va., on brief), for appellant.
Michael Morchower, Asst. U.S. Atty.  (C. V. Spratley, Jr., U.S. Atty., on brief), for appellee.
Before BOREMAN, WINTER, and CRAVEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Roger Zaylor Mason was granted ministerial exemption from the draft as a Pioneer of the Jehovah's Witness sect.  When he ceased his activity as a Pioneer and listed his principal occupation as automobile mechanic the Board reclassified him 1 A, and subsequently accorded him classification as a conscientious objector.  Upon his refusal to report for civilian work in lieu of military service he was charged and convicted of a violation of 50 U.S.C.A. App. 456(j) and 462(a), and appeals.


2
We agree with the district judge that there was a basis in fact for re-classification, and that the Board did not abuse its discretion in declining defendant's request to re-open and consider anew its final 1-O classification.


3
Affirmed.
