Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, August 9, 1972 Navy announces plans to have 4 . . women sailors on warships WASHINGTON R ) - The Navy announced orders yesterday wid- ening opportunities for women and opening the way for eventual use of co-ed crews aboard U.S. warships. Shattering nearly 200 years of tradition, Adm. Elmo Zumwalt Jr., said once the 27th Constitu- tional Amendment granting wo- men equal rights is ratified, there is no reason why women sailors - WAVEs - couldn't serve at sea, become aviators or attend the Navy Academy in Annapolis. The Amendment, now being considered 'by the states, "will in my judgment lead to a situa- tion in which it will at some time be legal" to' assign women to combat jobs, said the chief of naval operations. The admiral's orders opening * * a 1224 Washtenaw- 665-8825 A CHARTER REALTY APARTMENT positions on Navy ships to women goes a step further than the Army which announced Monday that it was doubling the size of the Women's Army Corps and opening all except combat jobs to WACs. In a four-page message to all ships and stations, Zumwalt cal- led the assignment of women aboard warships "the ultimate goal" that will be timed to coin- cide with implementation of the new legislation. Some naval officers at t h e Pentagon greeted the announce- ment with skepticism. "It will take a battalion of Marines to protect them," said one o 1 d salt. At a news conference, Zumwalt acknowledged "There will be some who are concerned. B u t when you look at the level to which our society has developed there is no reason in theory, in sociology or in equity why women shuld not have the same oppor- tunities the men have." To pave the way for sending women to sea, Zumwalt said- a number of women officers and enlisted ratings are being as- signed to the hospital ship Sanc- tuary as a pilot program. In the past, Navy nurses but not WAVEs have served aboard hospital ships. Federal laws now bars women from duty aboard combat vessels. The admiral said also s o me women would begin training as aviators- in search-and-rescue helicopters and air transports. He drew the line at fighter pilots, however. Zumwalt instructed the Navy also to open midshipman pro- grams to women at all colleges offering NROTC, and to open op- portunities for promotion of wo- men to admiral.

The vote was 49 to 46 in favor of the motion of Sen. Roman Hruska (R-Neb.) to send the bill drafted by the Commerce Committee to the Judiciary Committee. It was the first floor test on a measure which would revolu- tionize the way insurance ap- plies to 100 million car owners. Car insurance, said Commerce Chairman Sen. Warren Magnu- son (D-Wash.) "is bordering on a national scandal. The pre- miums are going up and the payments to accident victims are going down. We're trying to do something about it." Hruska and Sens. Sam Ervin D-N.C.), Howard Baker (R- Tenn.), Marlow Cook (R-Ky.) and Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.) all argued that serious consti- tutional and Senate procedural questions were involved and that the idea needed more study, Near the ezid of the debate, Magnuson said, "Everybody knows what this motion is all about. It buries the bill, simple as that," Ervin said a majority vote of the Senate, however, could get the bill back from the Judiciary Committee. The administration has said that no-fault insurance is a matter for the states and that the bill had wide-ranging re- percussions for the federal court system Bar charges divorce firms DETROIT (P) - The S t a t e Bar of Michigan has threatened to close two firms which seI1 fill-in-the-blank divorce forms to couples who want to avoid hiring lawyers and to represent them- selves instead - a constitutional privilege. The firms, Harry Gordon As- sociates, and Gordon, Grahm & Cramer Associates, claim they are setting non-legal advice and court forms, but they are charg- ed with practicing law without a license. The firms, which have handled about 400 divorces, started after Michigan no-fault divorce 1 a w went into effect last spring. The firms' owners say the Bar is against them because of their cut- rate prices.
