Registration protests begin as 1962 birth cohort must register
United Press International reports 18 year olds born in 1962 must register at post offices within days with Friday and Saturday as make up days.

President Carter urged resumption of draft registration after the 1979 Afghanistan invasion. About 3.7 million men born in 1960 and 1961 registered last summer with high participation.
