Three legs, but no race
This three-legged chicken was shipped from
Baylor Medical Center in Houston to Texas
A&M University, along with several other
chicks. Experts say inbred lines are the rea
son for the deformity; it was bred for cancer
research. Ceceily Washington, an assistant in
the poultry building plans to take the chick
home and raise it. Washington says the chick
should live, unless a problem such as an infec
tion sets in.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1978
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The National
Organization for Women has voted
to continue for at least a year the
“state of emergency” it declared be
fore Congress approved additional
time to win ratification of the Equal
Rights Amendment.
NOW’s national convention,
which began Sunday in
Washington, spent little time cele
brating last week’s ERA victory and
considerable time planning what
women leaders agree will be the
hard task of winning the remaining
three states needed to put the
amendment into the Constitution.
NOW’s president, Eleanor
Smeal, said in a keynote address
Sunday night that a coalition of
more than 300 groups, including
labor unions and religious organiza
tions, was behind the drive for the
ratification extension.
“The same people who put pres
sure on the congressional members
are now going to put that pressure
on the states,” said the ERA advo
cate. “We’re more sophisticated.
The learning has just been pheno
menal.”
ERA supporters attributed last
week’s Senate victory to political
acumen, a new unity in the women’s
movement and invaluable help from
allies.
“It was the first time, since 1970

anyway, that the woman’s move
ment has been able to really show
its numbers and visibly show them,”
Smeal said.
The 60-34 vote in the Senate to
extend the period of ratification
from March 22, 1979, to June 3,
1982, actually was the product of a
hard summer of campaigning on
Capitol Hill by ERA forces.
“We realized we might live to see
our own country turn down equal
rights for women,” Smeal said.
“People couldn’t bear that.”
ERA supporters say they’ve de
cided to change tactics in their next
drive to add the required three
more states to the 35 that have al
ready ratified the amendment.
In the past, the women’s move
ment targeted specific states for
special lobbying, but ERA support
ing say they’ll now launch a nation
wide campaign instead.
Opponents of the amendment are
vowing to go to court to challenge
the congressional vote to extend the
period of ratification and to fight
state by state to stop ERA.
“I am confident that the states
that have continually rejected the
Equal Rights Amendment will con
tinue to do so,” said Phyllis Schlafly,
the Alton, Ill., housewife who leads
the anti-ERA campaign.
But Smeal tola a'cheering au
dience “the National Organization
for Women has stronger allies than
it ever has had in its history.
The ERA resolution adopted by
NOW Sunday extended the state of
emergency until Oct. 4, 1979, its
next national conference, “or until
ratification, whichever occurs
soonest. ”
