The executive committee also de cided to ask the GCOA if leftover funds from previous years’ AAOA programs can be diverted to help fund transportation for the elderly State races please top ERA supporters United Press International WASHINGTON — Women’s ights supporters are looking be- ond losses on two state “test” re- srendums to improved chances for !RA ratification in Oklahoma and ’lorida, as a result of some shakeups n state legislative races. Phyllis Schlafly, leader of the top ERA group, said overwhelm- ng rejection of two women’s rights eferendums in Florida and Nevada uesday “demonstrated clearly that he American people reject the !qual Rights Amendment.” She said Stop ERA expects a net ain of votes in Illinois, Nevada, forth Carolina and other “critical tales.” But pro-ERA groups disagreed. RA supporters said they lost a ouple of seats in Arizona in a GOP iweep of the state, called it “basi- :ally unchanged” in Illinois, and aid a conservative swing in Nevada mall issues — including defeat of a ion-binding state referendum on whether the legislature should ap- irove the ERA — left the ERA illy” in those areas. But pro-ERA groups were ileased with Oklahoma and Flori- Ja.Florida rejected a proposal to amend the state constitution to out- aw sex discrimination, but ERA Packers blamed that vote on a public that wanted to vote “no” — and did - on eight other proposed hanges to the state constitution. Nevertheless, Kathleen Curry of ERAmerica and Ellen Malcolm of the National Women’s Political Caucus said ERA forces scored a major victory in Florida when Pat Frank, a Democrat from Tampa, beat anti-ERA Republican David Ray for a Florida senate seat. Schlafly had campaigned for Ray in what was a nearly single-issue race.
