Toyota, Gh discussing production Backers plan two-state ERA blitz United Press International WASHINGTON — Suppor ters of the Equal Rights Amend ment are making a final push to ratify the proposed constitution al amendment, saying even if they lose the ERA battle, the war for equal rights will persist. The National Organization for Women and other groups are waging a big blitz for ERA in Illinois and Florida, two states they have targeted as among the most likely to ratify it. Three more states need to approve the amendment to ratify it before the June 30 dead line. NOW’s strategy is to get two states, and then use political pressure to force one last state to ratify the amendment. Oklahoma and North Caroli na are the major candidates for the conclusive tally. “Every place is uphill,” NOW President Eleanor Smeal said. Smeal is in Miami preparing to join former Ford for a First Lady Betty ERA campaign swing. NOW is waging a major radio and television campaign in Flor ida, has 200 full-time volunteers and hundreds more going door- to-door part-time and is putting personal pressure on state sena tors to get the three or f our votes standing in the way of ratifica tion. “Our polls show there is solid popular support — 2-to-l ,” Smeal said. “Eventually they’ve got to face the political realities. They are 1977 backers ERA’S little January strongest chance. Smeal said that barring un- forseen circumstances the force needs to get Illinois and Florida. no longer denying we’ve got the popular support. But so far, they are still saying ‘no.’” If Florida and Illinois do not break the logjam — no state has ratified F.RA since Indiana in The other non-ratified states, where little chance is seen, are Virginia, Georgia, South Caroli na, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah, Nevada, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas and Arizona.
