Carter and Wallace push reforms amid 1976 campaign
Former Georgia Governor Carter urged an independent attorney general to shield the FBI from politics in a Des Moines appearance as Wallace called for constitutional amendments to ban busing. Reagan predicted a Florida primary sweep, Nixon aides said he would sit out 1976 politics, and Sanford’s campaign paused for medical observation in Massachusetts. Vermont and Massachusetts set March 2 primaries with Shriver entering the field. Bayh pressed tax reform and housing, Harris promoted populist causes, Udall eyed New Hampshire.

Selective Service eyed for budget cuts
Washington AP reports that with the draft inactive since 1973 and 18 year olds no longer required to register, budget pressures threaten to end or curb Selective Service activities. Officials note plans hinge on President Ford and a proposed annual registration system may be scrapped this year. The service runs 626 offices with about 2,000 staff and a $37.5 million budget. Senator Willam Proxmire calls the agency a boondoggle and urges abolition.
