The ruling stops the registration Monday of 4 million young men for a possible draft. The government promptly asked the Supreme Court to block the ruling, saying failure to register young men for a possible draft would undercut President Carter's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the decision stemming from a 9-year-old anti-draft suit, the U.S.

District Court panel In Philadelphia said military conscription violates the civil rights of draft-age men. It declared the Military Selective Act violates the 5th Amendment to the Constitution. THE CLASS-ACTION suit was born In 1971 during the Vietnam war in an attempt by war protesters to stop the draft. The judges "permanently enjoined" the government from requiring the draft registration of 18 million males between the ages of 18 and 34. "We have combed the record and the legislative history for purported justifications for the total exclusion of women and we find each proffered Justification unconvincing," the 41-page opinion said.

The panel immediately' rejected a Justice Department request to stay its decision. A few hours later government attorneys filed a request for a stay with the clerk of the Supreme Court.
