Carter registration plan stalls in House panel
President Carter faces trouble as Congress deadlocks on funding for a nationwide draft registration. A House Appropriations subcommittee split 6 to 6, blocking money for registering men and women 19 and 20. Only a standby system was approved, delaying start until mobilization is ordered. The panel also cut funds to register women, with critics calling the move a setback even as White House officials expect later committee support.
