" " Constitutional bill now faces states'"O From Wire Service Reports WASHINGTON - In an overwhelming vote climaxing nearly fifty years of feminist lobbying, the Senate yesterday approved a constitutional amendment giving equal rights to women. Loud cheers from women in the gallery greeted the Sen- ate's 84-8 approval of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)- which, among other provisions could allow women to be drafted into military service. The House approved the measure 354 to 23 in 1970 and it now faces approval from at least 2-3 of the state legislatures. President approval of the proposed amendment is not re- quired. President Nixon's recent endorsement of ERA, however, Primary aftermath Cook County State Atty.

BLAST 'NIXONOMICS': Three Pay B AFL-CIO chi~efs, quit is believed to have been a ma- jor factor in the Senate's lop- sided approval. The amendment, a, version of which has been introduced to ev- ery Congress since 1923, reads: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridg- ed by the United States or by any state on account of sex." The National Women's Politi- cal ;Caucus and feminist groups across the country hailed the pas- sage of the ERA as a major vic- tory. "The significance of women as a new and powerful political force is demonstrated by the over- whelming margin of passage of the ERA" said Rep. Bella Abzug, (D-N.Y.), co-chairperson of the caucus. The states have seven years in which to act and the amendment would become effective two years after ratification by the 38th state - the minimum number re- quired to make it effective. Among the eight senators who opposed ERA was Sen Sam Er- vin (D-N.C.) who said yesterday, "Forgive them, Father, they know not what they do," concluding his unsuccessful right for a host of amendments to ERA. While the ratification of ERA could mean that women would be drafted, the actual conscrip- tion of women would require con- gressional revision of the Selec- tive Service Act and presumably would not occur unless a major war emergency arose. According to a report by the Citizen's Advisory Council of the Status of Women, the ratification of ERA would not nullify all laws which distinguish on the basis of sex. but would require that the law treat men and women equally. Probable ramifications of ERA would include: -The invalidation of protective, laws for women which prohibit hours of work beyond a specified number, night work, employment in particular occupations, and weightliftina laws; -The eligibility of men for ali- mony payments in those states where alimony is limited to wom- Sen; . -The extension of dowery riahts to men in those states where men do not have a right in their wive's estates; and- -The extension of equal So- cial Security benefits to widow- ers of covered women which are now provided only to widows of covered men workers. Adoption of the measure would restrict only governmental action and would not effect private em- ployment. IW..ar foes to hit area business, By JANET GORDON In an effort 4o pressure local corporations to stop supplying "war technology", People against the Air War (PAAW) will hold a demonstration today at 12:30 at the City Center Building, site of KMS Industries. According to a PAAW leaflet, KMS industries has contracted with the Pentagon to provide a' radar system which can locate the 'enemy' through dense foliage or in the darkness. Keeve Siegel, chairman of KMS industries said today, "KMS nu- clear reactor developments are completely for peacetime uses.. KMS has no equipment in Viet- nam or elsewhere in Southeast Asia." According %t the PAAW state- ment, the company has recently developed a laboratory version of a 'new improved model' that can gather information from radar images of 'enemy' areas. The company, PAAW claims, has now received additional funds from the Pentagon to build an op- erational model of the 'system. A noon rally at the fishbowl will precede a march downtown to the demonstration site, said Doug Wilder, PAAW Spokesman. Speakers will include represen- tatives from his group, the Hu- man Rights Party, The War Tax Resisters and their Ann Arbor Life Priorities Fund, as well as organ- izers for an April 22 anti-war demonstration in New York. The protesting group has re- quested time at the City Council meeting next Monday night to present petitions requesting that the city deny its services to cor- porations engaged in war re- search. Anticipating a council response that such action may be 'impos- sible', Wilder said that the peti- tion also includes a request for a referendum on the proposal. Wilder also mentioned that three people from PAAW visited KMS offices on Tuesday and pre- sented Siegel with a set of de- mands. These included a demand that all war research by KMS be ended and one that would require all proposed uses of the company's research projects be made public. oard over wage cu,.ts WASHINGTON () - Three AFL-CIO leaders quit the Pay Board yesterday declaring it has been slated against workers. The White House promptly countered that President Nixon won't let the action "sabotage" his economic controls. "It has been a device to under- mine and wreck collective bar- gaining," said AFL-CIO President George Meany in announcing the resignations of himself, Steel- workers President I. W. Abel and Machinists' President Floyd Smith. "The President will not allow any leader of labor or any mem- ber of management - no matter how powerful - to put them- selves above the best interests of the American people," responded White House Press Secretary Ron- ald Ziegler. The resignations left the 15- man Pay Board with only two la- bor members, Teamsters Presi- dent Frank Fitzsimmons and Auto Workers President Leonard Wood-I George Meany I. W. Abel cock. Fitzsimmons announced he would stay on the board, while the Auto Workers said that Woodcock would make no immediate deci- sion. "I think it very likely that the Pay Board will go on, but how and in what manner remains to be seen," stid the board chair- man, George Boldt. Government sources indicated that Nixon could seek other la- bor members to replace the AFL- CIO leaders, cut down the present 15 labor-industry-public members to six to maintain an equal rep- resentation or reconstitute the board as an all-public body like Nixon's Price Commission. Meany, backed up by the 13.6- million-member labor federation's Executive Council, said Nixon's program has clamped rigid con- trols on wages while letting prices and profits soar. "The record of flagrant favorit- ism speaks for itself. The adminis- tration 's so-called newdeconomy policy is heavily loaded against the worker and consumer, in fav- or of the profits of big business and banks. and is dominated by the view that economic progress begins and ends in the stock mar- ket and the corporate financial report," Meany said. He said many prices, along with rents, interest rates and profits, had been exempted from controls altogether. The AFL-CIO walkoff from the Pay Board followed its recent re- jection of a 20.9 per. cent wage hike for West Coast longshoremen and an earlier rejection of a 12 per cent hike for aerospace work- ers represented by the Machinists and Autoworkers. The business and public mem- bers of the Pay Board said the aerospace workers could have a raise of about 8 per cent this year and that the longshoremen could have one of 14.9 per cent. The Auto Workers and Machin- ists unions are suing in federal court against the Pay Board rul- ing. The West Coast Longshore- men. represented by the Interna- tional Longshoremen's and Ware- housemen's Union (ILWU), have indicated a possibility they might resume their long strike shutting down all West Coast ports. Meany said Pay Board decisions had been dictated by the industry and oublic board members. "The decisions are made before the Pay Board meets. The staff writes them un, and then informs the labor members " he said. Mclany said the Nixon adminis- tration had not lived up to its niedos that tho Pav Board would NO CREDIT Veteran to teach war course By SHERRY COTTIER University students bored with classes in English literature and elementary physiology may find diversion in guerrilla warfare, the title of a new course planned by a local Vietnam veteran. His brainchild rejected for academic credit by the University's Course-Mart program, Mi- cheal Reade, 24, a Vietnam veteran and former army drill instructor, is offering the no-credit course on his own initiative. He says instruction will emphasize the theo- retical basis and historical development of guer- rilla warfare, and feature practical maneu- vers in the Arboretum. Weannn will he nalo hhie nitic mahine ed to draw an overwhelming response - only two people and a reporter showed up - Reade expressed hope that the turn-out will be larger at the meeting to be held next Tuesday night in the lobby of the SAB. He suspected the lack of attendance was due to his limited - $3.90 - publicity fund. Reade regards his course as primarily a theatrical event but contends that before any revolutionary course can effect people, it must first "infuse revolutionary consciousness in rev- olutionary fighters." A major emphasis in the course will be placed on Quotations From Chairman Mao-Tse Tung, said Reade. Reade nredicts that Latin America.
