Card Burners Doused--Five men beginning to burn their draft cards at a pacifist rally in New York's Union Square today are squirted with water by a man--not seen at left--who fired a seltzer water bottle in their direction. From left the anti-war demonstrators are James Wilson, 21; Marc Paul Edelman, 19; Roy Lisker, 27; Thomas C. Cornell, 31, and David McReynolds, 36, who is ducking the spray. The card burning is in violation of a new federal law. The FBI said it is investigating but have "no imminent plans for an arrest." John Lindsay, Associated Press staff photographer, made this shot.
