PER CURIAM:
The judgment of conviction in this selective service case is reversed.
Parker was charged with failure to report in San Diego (for transportation to the induction center in Los Angeles) in the Southern District of California. The proof is adequate that he failed to report at the Los Angeles center in the Central District. There is a weak inference on the record here that Parker failed to report in San Diego, but we regard it as not strong enough to sustain a conviction.
