In Harrisburg a Pennsylvania Supreme Court order freezes the certification of Republican Rep. Kenneth Halverson after an official recount left the GOP with a slim lead. Justice Rolf Larsen issued the stay as legislators weigh floor strategies and potential attempts to seat Halverson pending further arguments. The dispute follows a 21 vote margin over Democrat William Lloyd, breaking a party deadlock and clouding the path to House leadership.

Adams County CETA program faced about half its funds cut with more reductions expected as President Carter pursues federal deficit cuts. Goodling told the Manpower Board the impact will depend on Congress and the administration, with possible layoffs in public employment and emphasis on preventing mismanagement. County share cuts hit special projects hardest, though some positions may be shifted to another local CETA program, leaving about a dozen potential layoffs and efforts to avoid them.
