Platform OK with diverse Dem factions
NEW YORK AP Now that Jimmy Carter has a platform applauded by Democrats as diverse as Coretta Scott King and George Wallace there are some party figures who wonder how long he’ll stand out. The platform approved by Democratic National Convention delegates early today with little dissent aims to please many wings. Carter supporters helped shape the wording and some planks carry qualifying language, while liberals praised it as a progressive base. The convention made one change to ease Hatch Act restrictions and allow limited political activity by federal workers. Delegates could not win votes to debate neutral abortion language. Carter called the platform a contract with the people though some doubt a Carter administration could deliver all promises. A passage pledges effort to lower unemployment to 3 percent in four years, with health insurance and guaranteed incomes noted as goals to be pursued with time and resources. Some economists warn inflation risks if full employment is pursued, but Carter argues steady growth can achieve low inflation, low unemployment and a balanced budget by 1980. Conservatives favoring reorganization and zero based budgeting are drawn to the platform.

Divorced father still must pay for child support
In Ohio, the First District Court of Appeals ruled that a natural father retains an obligation to support a child even if the mother remarries before the birth. The decision overturns a lower court which had held the mother's husband as sole support payer, and notes the possibility the legal father may also bear responsibility.
