Democrats, seeing Reagan charging down the wrong road, lashed out at the administration for imposing an unfair and un workable economic plan. They conceded he did well in getting legislation through Con gress, but gave him an F for fair ness on the substance of his programs. Senate Democratic Leader Robert Byrd, appearing at the national committee headquar- ix brd biggest critics. andotltjl The president, comparing himself to a coach coming off a current winning season, said his admi- COSt ofgi Hatch amendment a packii ters in Washington, called the Republican program “a political success but an economic fai lure.” In Moscow, the Kremlin re port card on President Reagan’s first year in office gave him an A in the arms race but failing grades in economics and social subjects. In the official newspaper Pravda, two high-ranking Com munist Party officials said Reagan’s first year in the White House was marked by a return to “diehard imperialist philo sophy.” They criticized the president for cutting back on social wel fare programs “to push through the wildest militarist programs.” Richard Viguerie, conserva tive fund-raiser once called the “godfather of the new right,” said Reagan missed a lot of opportunities and deserves no better than a C-plus. United Press International LANSING — Jill Lafler pre fers to do her fighting in the boxing ring, but she’s prepared to fight in court if Golden Gloves officials try to keep her out of a local tournament because of her sex. Lafler, 19, weighed in at 106 pounds Wednesday for the dis trict Golden Gloves tournament Thursday and was told she would be treated like any other fighter and assigned a contest in her weight class. Her attorney said she appa rently will be the first woman to compete in a Michigan Golden Gloves and perhaps the first in the nation as well. But some fighters don’t like the idea of boxing a woman, and attorney Paul Rosenbaum, a for mer Golden Gloves competitor, is afraid someone will try to stop Lafler. He said he will go to court today if necessary to keep her in the tournament. “If she gets knocked out, that’s her problem,” said Rosen baum, a former state legislator. “If she knocks a guy out, that’s his problem.” At least one of the male con testants sees it differently. “I don’t think she belongs,” said Troy Hoose, 18, of Dimon dale. “If I fight her, she’s going to get hurt.” e prow ernmeit ‘deceitful,’ says abortion backer ten United Press International WASHINGTON — Current moves to restrict or outlaw abor tion are deceptive and danger ous attempts to enforce a minor ity point of view on the nation, jitchels; the president of Planned Pa- renthood said Thursday. ■adivot Faye Wattleton, head of the ebanor family planning eroup, criti cized the so-called Hatch j say jJamendment, which says abor- | t , sf | K tion is not a constitutional right son r and would let both Congress j. in .j n and states write restrictive abor tion laws. , The amendment is named af- massed ter j ts S p 0nsor) gen.

Supporters and oppo nents of the decision are gather ing in Washington to mark the day.
