TWO LEGISLATORS IN
AUSTIN say they want Texas to
withdraw its ratification of the
proposed Equal Rights Amend
ment because they don’t want to
use the same restrooms as wo
men. Rep. Clay Smothers,
D-Dallas, and Sen. Walter
Mengden, R-Houston, an
nounced yesterday they would
sponsor a resolution recalling the
state’s 1972 ratification of the
constitutional amendment. They
said they feared if the proposal
became law it would be left to
the courts to interpret.The
amendment thus far has been
ratified by 35 of the needed 38

amendment was unnecessary
