A. The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, January 22, 1980-Page 7 Georgia senate defeats ERA ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Senate voted 32-23 yesterday to defeat a proposal to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, handing the controversial amendment its second defeat in, Georgia in five years. The vote came after four hours of debate in the Senate, where the ERA was hailed by supporters as "the heart of democracy" and criticized by op- ponents as legally unnecessary. STATE REP. Cathey Steinberg, a leading supporters, said its backers had not given up on the Senate and would move for reconsideration today. She said she was pleased with the "sensible" debate, which she said stayel closer to the issues than in 1975, when the Senate' defeated the proposal 33-22. The amendment needed 29 votes for ratification in the Senate. It was brought to the Senate floor after the Senate Special Judiciary Committee approved the ratification resolution last week. THE ERA, WHICH would outlaw discrimination based on sex, must be ratified by 38 states by June 30, 1982, to become part of the Constitution. The original deadline of March 22, 1979, was extended by act of Congress. It has been approved by 35 states, but five have since rescinded approval. The validity of that move still is in question and the Justice Department has said it is up to Congress to decide.

Supreme Ct. upholds Michigan ballot law WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court yesterday rebuffed a challenge to Michigan's procedure for allowing new parties on the ballot in the general election. The justices let stand a lower-court decision rejecting arguments by the U.S. Labor Party that the law im- properly deprives it of a place on the ballot. UNDER A 1976 Michigan law, a new political party must file petitions with a certain number of signatures to be cer- tified for the ballot in the state's August primary election. The party then must receive at least three-tenths of one per cent of the total number of the votes cast in the primary to be certified for the November general election ballot. In November, the principal candidate of the party must receive a specified amount of funds to automatically qualify the party to be listed in the next general election. The U.S. Labor Party challenged the procedure, arguing the state failed to properly advise voters of the "in- tricacies" of the party qualifications and thus caused "gross voter con- fusion and error." The party said election officials maintained they had not received funds that would provide for education and instruction in casting a vote for a new party. * Soviet scientists try to create live 12-foot test-tube mammoth MOSCOW.AP)-The viets hope to create sooh, through f ti "test-tube and for study only, a live] -foot-tall mam- moth of the type that became extinct thousands of years ago. Soviet scientists say they have begun a program to create the *prehistoric mammothrusing preserved cells from original creatures to con- ceive a similar animal in the laboratory. "UNDER THE RIGHT conditions, in 18 to 20 months the world could see its first artificial baby mammoth," said Viktor Mikhelson, a Leningrad scientist involved in the project. The test-tube mammoth, scientists admit, will be a difficult project. They say they plan to use techniques similar .'to those that created "test-tube babies" in the West, benefiting from the almost perfect condition of prehistoric animal tissue preserved for centuries in the frozen Soviet Far East. The goal is to produce a living mam- moth about 12 feet tall-a kind that became extinct 10,000 years ago-for scientific study. Scientists have not yet. decided where they will keep their mammoth if they succeed, but Mikhelson said Monday that "this will *:be the least of our problems." "The problem is that so far, we haven't found a satisfactory live mammoth cell to start from," Mikhelson said. MIKIHELSON SAID in an interview this month that archeologists might have been useable for such a project if they had not been put into strong for- maldehyde preservative solutions by their discoverers. Some frozen tissues discovered by Soviet scientists have been up to 44,000 years old, according to the scientists. The plan is to mate a preserved cell from a male mammoth and one from a modern-day female elephant in the laboratory and implant the result in the elephant, Mikhelson said. There is no indication whether a preserved sperm or an egg cell might be required for such a project, rather than just any live cell from a mammoth. Mikhelson said that to find an ap- propriate starting cell, a cytologist-an expert in cell structure-will be added to teams already organzied by the Soviet Academy of Sciences to in- vestigate findings of frozen prehistoric creatures. The cytologist's job will be to prevent destruction of live cells if they are found.
