BELFAST UGP B ritain rushed
additional troops to embattled
Northern Ireland last night as
gunfire blazed across Belfast
and politicians warned openly of
possible civil war.
Britain's action followed a
rupture of Ulster's fragile 13-
day cease-fire and failure by
British negotiators to reach an
agrec ment with the Roman
Catholic-based Irish Republican
Army (IRA).
Six hundred British royal
marines flew to Northern Ire-
land last night. The army said
another 1,200 nmen were prepar
ing to leave early today, bring-
ing total British military
strength in Ulster to 16.800 men.
"The soldiers are being
brought in because of the IRA's
express inteiltion of resuming
hrostilities w ith lire utmost fero-
city," an army spokesperson
said.
The IRA's militant Provision-
al wing, which has been respon-
sible for most of the guerrilla
activity in Northern Ireland dur-
ing the last three years, called
a sudden end to the brief cease-
fire Sunday.
In an immediate outbreak of
violence, six civilians died and
scores of troops, gunmen aind
civilians were injured in nine
hours of nighttime violence.
The gun battles resumed at
noon yesterday.
More than 60 violent ex-
changes terrorized Belfast dur-
ing the afternoon. Most of the
incidents were attacks on
British army posts andapatrols
by gunmein ideintified as IRA
guerrillas.
Some of the incidents, how-
ever. did not involve troops at
all. It was believed they were
straight shootouts between IRA
men and gunmen of Protestant
paramiliitary organizations.
William Whitelaw, Britain's
secretary of state for Ulster, dis-
closed that he had had a secret
meeting with IRA leaders last
Friday. He said the IRA men
complained they had gained
nothing in return for ceasing
hostilities, "then made demands
that I could not accept."
The IRA's four demands in-
cluded the withdrawal of all
British troops by January 1975.

cal prisoners.

Peter Eckstein, an economist,
and Leonard Solomon.
Though the election seems
crowded with candidates, For-
ayth says, "Most of the other
candidates sound alike. there are
no people who are desperately
opposed on issues."
"None would probably be
against abortion reform, equal
emrployment opportunity or other
important issues. But thr main
question is who would provide
the best leadership."
Forsyth. a member of the Comr-
mission for Women, says. "The
time is overdue for womuen to
play a full role in making the
governmental decisions th-at af-
fect their lives. -Mine will be a
women's campaign in that I am
an advocate for women's rights."
Oe major area of concerni,
according to Forsyth, is the
power and influence the State
Legislature can exercise.
"State government exerts en-
ormous power Over every face'
of our daily lives. It affects our
education, housing, transporta-
tion, employment, health and re-
tirement," aays Fors'yth.
She calls for change in the
organization of the caurts and
the elimination of "victimless
crimes."

PREG;NANCY CASE:
hcao judge rules
in favor of teachers
CHICAGO (.1) - A Chicago
Board of Education policy re-
quiring pregnant teachers to
leavehtheir jobs after their fifth
monoth of pregnancy for six
months without pay is uncon-
stitutional, a federal judge ruled
yesterday.
Judge Richard McLaren of
U.S. District Court ruled the
p o 1 i c y discriminates against
pregnant teachers in violation of
both federal and state constitu-
tions.
The order requires that the
board allow teachers to continue
teaching as long as their phy-
sicians deem advisable.
The ruling came on a suit filed
in April by Susan Bravo, 33, who
taught high school until forced
to take maternity leave March
30. She expected a child June
22 and wanted to teach until
May 12. The board ordered Bravo
not to return until Sept. 30.
Bravo gave birth to a 6-pound
boy June 1i. She claimed she
lost $1,100 in salary because of
the board's rule.
Testimony in the case reveal-
ed that teachers forced to take
six months off to have a baby
accumulate no seniority and
their positions are immediately
declared vacant, unlike teachers
on sick leave.
Ted Stein, commenting on the
judge's ruling in Ann Arbor last
night, said that this case will
have a tremendous effect on wo-
men teachers across the coun-
try who want to have babies but
can't for monetary reasons of
for fear of losing their job status.
POLITICAL RIFTS
Con ven tion fe m in ists
By MERYL GORDON
Special To The Daily
MIAMI
Although women are attending the
Democratic national convention in record
numbers as delegates and lobbyists, they
are not showing a great deal of "solidarity
in sisterhood."
Feuding over conflicting strategies and
choice of presidential candidate has been
going on for several days within the Na-
tional Women's Political Caucus (NWPC).
NWPC is a nonpartisan organization, now
in Miami Beach to lobby for women's
rights.
NWPC members have criticized Sen.
George McGovern (D-S.D.t for running
with a watered-down abortion policy and
for lacking women in key campaign posi-
tions.
McGovern supporters and staff responded
last week by organizing "Women for Mc-
Govern" and holding a press conference
Friday to answer the criticism.
Actress Shirley MacLaine, a California
McGovern delegate, explained that leading
spli apart
on the abortion policy and that "the
senator said he would go along with it."
Women for McGovern in turn have been
angry with NWPC women who support
Rep. Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y. "because
she is a sister."
Gloria Steinem is one of the most well-
known women who originally campaigned
for McGovern, but switched to Chisholm,
prefering to support a female presidential
candidate.
Tension in the NWPC was evident yes-
terday morning when presidential hope-
fuls McGovern, Humphrey, Muskie, Wal-
lace, Chisholm. and Sanford spoke at the
Carillon Hotel.
Preceding the conference an angry
Humphrey supporter tried to talk women
into taking action on the Credential Com-
mittee's decisions on the Cafifornia and
Illinois delegate challenges.
Pointing to the morning newspaper
headline which stated "McGovern would
accept Daley if his Californians are seated,"
she said that "McGovern is trying to make
