attalion/Pagel national Battalion/Page 11 November 18, 1982 [Draft signing continues despite California ruling United Press International WASHINGTON — The lelective Service System is press- tig ahead with draft registration Bespite a federal judge’s ruling nvalidating the indictment of javid Wayte, 21, who failed to [egister. “We’re going ahead with busi- hess as usual, registering peo ple,” Selective Service spokes woman Joan Lamb said Tuesday. “It was just one case. It is sub- ect to appeal,” she said. And Justice Department [pokesman Art Brill says if he kas the father of an 18-year-old, I'i would certainly urge him to register” for possible conscrip- |ion. U.S. District Judge Terry I lat- Jer ruled in Los Angeles Monday In the case of Wayte, the registra- lion procedure ordered by Presi dent Carter was invalid because the government did not wait the “VCe ’re going ahead with business as usual, regis tering people. It was just one case. It is subject to appeal. ”—Selective Ser vice spokeswoman Joan Lamb required 30 days from formal publication of the rule in July 1980 to the time it took effect. Government attorneys Tues day appealed Hatter’s decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but did not say whether they would carry the case to the Supreme Court if they lost the first round of their appeal. At a news conference Tuesday in Los Angeles, Carter took issue with Hatter. “It was done properly,” he said, “My advice from the attor ney general and others was that we did it completely in com pliance with both custom and law. “My hope is the Supreme Court will rule favorably, that we did indeed act properly, but I’m not trying to prejudge the case.” Brill told reporters, “The De partment of Justice believes the opinion is wrong and will pro ceed with investigations and pro secutions of non-registrants in a routine manner. “We have temporarily lost the case, but we have not lost the war. David Landau, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said the decision applies only to the Wayte case and meansjudges will have to rule on other indict ments on a case-by-case basis. “Obviously, if two or three judges begin to do this, the gov ernment could not enforce the system,” Landau said. Hatter dismissed charges Monday against Wayte on grounds he was the victim of dis criminatory prosecution — that he had been singled out for trial because of his outspoken opposi tion to registration. In dismissing the indictment, Hatter said he realized the action would have a “widespread effect” on draft registration but, “Justice compels the court to grant defen dant’s motion.” For Christmas! 14K Gold Beads SALE PRICES ADD-A-BEADS & CHAINS Add-A-Bead Chains SALE PRICES 3 mm 530 4 mm 830 5 mm -$1.76 6 mm ■ $2.66 7 mm -$3.36 8 mm -$4.71 Semi-Precious Beads •Pearls*Garnet # Lapis »Malachite*Many More LAYAWAYS M-F 9-5;30 Sat. 9-5 16" - $29.96 18" - $33.71 20" - $37.71 24" - $43.71 All Sizes Available CHARGES 415 University 846-5816 Formerly Cowarts Jewelry All major credit cards accepted iff photo by Irentl ed by Col I) li rm ier l," Egger toldi said the ieen simplifidi brought doMi de level anda® ach to the filii 0 million tasp ;ular long HM5 .7 million filet I40A in 1980,rt n were single, nmissioner sail! he new form actions or filing the 10' mi filing patted five who mi| ' would have# i if they file! ; said.

The Friends Committee on National Legislation said in a [study released Monday that 12 of the nation’s largest military |contractors contributed $1.2 million to congressional candi- |?dates in a 20-month period en ding Aug. 31. The donations were more than twice as much as the $465,000 these same corpora tions contributed during the en tire period of the midterm elec tion in 1978, the group said. The 12 companies, whose 1981 Pentagon contracts totaled $28 billion, included United Technologies, General Dyna mics and Rockwell Interna tional. The study showed that 43 percent of all campaign contri butions were given to members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and de fense and military construction appropriations subcommittees.

John Tower, R-Texas, $12,833 (not up for re-election |: 45 Big defense contractors double campaign gifts in 1982) and Sen. Howard Can- according to the study, included non, D-Nev., $38,500. Rep.
