Section 5 (g) of the act deals with persons who by reason of religious training and belief are conscientiously opposed to war in any form, also those persons who are conscientiously opposed to war but who will participate in noncombatant service. Provision was made for the assignment of persons found to be conscientiously opposed to participation in such noncombatant service, to work of national importance under civilian direction.
