He sought to present his Selective Service card to the delegates, to be held "in trust." Mr. Rubins, a member of the Reformed Church in America, asked the NCC to put "action behind a policy position backing religious obedience and civil disobedience." Assembly delegates voted down Mr. Rubins attempt to surrender his draft card.
