Judge Terry Hatter in Los Angeles cited several reasons for dismissing charges against David Alan Wayte, 21, a former Yale philosophy student from Pasadena, Calif., who had written to President Reagan explaining why he would refuse to register. The judge's first reason was a technicality, but a sweeping one: President Jimmy Carter, ruled the judge, waited only 21 days instead of the required 30 to start the program after the new regulations were printed in the Federal Register. If this ruling is sustained on appeal, the draft registration might have to be initiated all over again, requiring those...
