Republican Party
won't endorse ERA
(Continuedfrom Page 1) -
lose support among voters if it failed to
endorse the ERA and maintained a
rigid anti-abortion stance.
"I PERSONALLY believe that these
two actions could prevent our party
from electing the next president of the
UnitedStates," said Crisp.
"Our party has endorsed and worked
for the ERA for 40 years," she said.
"Now we are reversing our position and
are about to bury the rights of over 100
millisn American women under a heap
of platitudes."
But Crisp, whose term as co-
chairwoman expires at the copclusion
of the Republican National Convention,
was fighting a losing battle.
THE COMMITTEE also approved
platform wording that supports a con-
stitutional amendment that would
prohibit abortions, easily turning back
two proposals to soften the wording.
As written, the platform supports a
constitutional amendment banning
abortion and commits the party to work
against any federal funding for abor-
tion activities.
Delegate John Leopold of Hawaii had
sought to amend the section on
women's rights to declare "we affirm
our party.s historic commitment to the
Equal Rights Amendment end
equality for women."

Oh, give the. a home
where the elephant roam
Thirty-three baby elephants who faced certain death from overpopula-
tion in their African homeland are thriving in the hot Texas summer. "This
is the largest group of African elephants found outside Africa," a
spokesperson for the International Wildlife Park in Grand Prairie, Texas
said Tuesday. Asked how the baby elephants were doing in Texas' intense
summer heat, the spokesperson said, "Fine. The temperature is comparable
to South Africa." The pachyderms, ranging in age from one to four, are
confined to an "elephant section" about 400 feet long and 500 feet wide.
Eventually, some will be shipped to zoos around the nation. Qi.
