CHICAGO (AP) - The policy-
making body of the American Medical
Association refused yesterday to en-
dorse the Equal Rights Amendment at
its annual convention and voted instead
to "affirm the concept of equal rights
for men and women."
The group's failure to support the
ERA came over warnings that the
association's failure to support the
amendment was hampering recruit-
ment among younger professionals.
"ONLY ONE-THIRD of medical
students are AMA members and the
number is leveling off," said Ron
Davis, a delegate representing medical
students. He said the fact the group has
not ratified the proposed amendment
alienates medical students and residen-
ts. "They're concerned about what the
AMA stands for," he said.
A Delaware physician, Dr. Roger
Thomas, criticized endorsement of a
general concept of equal rights as
"hair-splitting" and urged the group to
adopt the ERA to "speak clearly
and ... polish the AMA's image" with
medical students, residents and women
physicians.
ISRAELI CITIZENS IN Tel Aviv shouted "Viva Begin" at the news of the successful bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reac-
tor. The Israelis claim the Iraqis would use the reactor to make nuclear weapons for use against Israel.

materials.
Director General Sigvard Eklund
condemned Sunday's air raid as a
"serious development with far-
reaching implications," and said it
could be viewed as an attack on the in-
ternational agency.
ISRAEL, WHICH is not a member of
the agency, "evidently has not felt
assured by our findings and about our
ability to continue to discharge our
safeguarding responsibilities effec-
tively," he said.
The Vienna-based agency has more
than 100 member-countries that have
agreed to alloy periodic on-site inspec-
tions of nuclear installations to deter-
mine if nuclear materials are being
used only for peaceful purposes.
Iraq has signed the nuclear non-
proliferation treaty. Israel, whichthas
two nuclear power plants, has not,
claiming inspection team members
hostile to Israel would be permitted to
examine its nuclear facilities.
