Pentagon ends forced discharge for pregnant servicewomen
The Defense Department orders that pregnant servicewomen may remain on active duty with discharges only on request. The change, issued by the civilian secretariat across all four services, aims to boost equal opportunity while maintaining duties to children. Previously, the 1981 rule discharged pregnant personnel unless they could prove they could meet duties and childcare, a policy linked to abortion encouragement claims. The Army notes high rates of pregnancy discharges but also shows many enlisted women have minor children, suggesting waivers were common under prior rules.

Rules on sex bias rejected at education hearings
Washington subcommittee rejected four proposed HEW regulations to enforce gender equality in federally funded colleges while approving a bill to modify Title IX athletics. The measure allows revenue-producing college sports to fund sports and requires any surplus to be shared by men’s and women’s programs. Separate PE classes remain allowed if truly equal. Also, remarks by Friedan and Colom opposed abortion constitutional amendments, arguing they impede women's equality. A Toronto girl aims to swim Lake Ontario then the English Channel, seeking two major crossings in one season.

Federal election panel may curb free convention services
Washington AP. The staff of the new Federal Election Commission recommended that parties be barred from accepting thousands of dollars in free convention services. The plan would limit free hotel rooms halls autos and police protection offered by corporations, though not all such services are deemed illegal. The commission debated privately after a 4 to 2 vote to continue study. The draft opinion says gifts or services tied to conventions could violate law unless essential to normal purchase.

Senate clash stalls New Hampshire vote bid in deadlock
The Senate failed to end debate on the New Hampshire senatorial dispute for the fourth time as Democrats offered concessions rejected by Republicans who argued against cloture. The stalemate pits Democrats seeking a Senate decision against Republicans seeking a vacancy prompting a new election between Durkin and Wyman. Southern Democrats joined Republicans in opposing cloture, while Mansfield and Griffin sparred over the strategy. In Florida, an aide to ex Senator Gurney admitted a Winter Park builder paid apartment rent in 1971-72, denying it bought influence in the FHA case.
