Led by a dozen coffins sym-
lizing the 15 million legal
rtions in the nation since the
h court’s Jan. 22, 1973 deci-
^^Ifsion, the marchers cheered for
^ viv he re-election of President
agan, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-
jC., and Rep. Henry Hyde, R-
11 and chanted “No ERA, No
A” as they walked down Con-
litution Avenue toward the
tigress and court.

vale schools bused in tor the
event — gathered on the Ellipse
behind the White House, lead
ers of a number of groups in the
often-fractious movement met
inside with Reagan.
Jean Doyle, president of the
National Right to Life Commit
tee, the largest of the grass-roots
anti-abortion organizations, said
Reagan promised “stronger
support in the future than that
we nave seen in the past.”
“We have made progress. We
have to admit that,” she said.
“But we have to look forward to
even more progress in the fu
ture.”
Outside, Helms and a num
ber of members of Congress
talked to a cheerful, peaceful
and nearly all-white crowd,
urging them to lobby for defeat
of the Equal Rights Amendment
when it again comes before the
Congress.
“The ERA is the most danger
ous threat” to the anti-abortion
movement in the coming Con
gress, Rep. Barbara Vucano-
vich, R-Nev., told the rally. “And
this time the job (of killing ERA)
will be harder. We must hope
and pray that America will never
accept an ERA if neutral abor
tion language isn’t attached.”
Anti-abortion leaders say the
Equal Rights Amendment, if
accepted as presently worded,
would write the right to an abor
tion into the Constitution.
Neilie/Gray, a Washington
lawyer who has organized the
annual “march for life” since the
first one was held in 1974, also
told the crowd there will be no
more compromises within the
movement.
“There is only one position —
the paramount right to life. And
that right is protected by the
Constitution,” she said.
Last year, differences in the
movement over various propos
als put forth in Congress to bar
abortions were credited with a
stinging defeat in the Senate
over the issue.
The Senate ended up reject
ing a compromise constitutional
amendment, offered by Sen.
Qrin Hatch, R-Utah, that would
have give states authority to reg
ulate or ban abortion.
As protesters poured from
rented buses onto the snow-
covered Ellipse behind the
White House, march officials
passed out small, fetus-shaped
placards emblazoned with the
Christian cross for those without
signs.

HARLINGEN — An organi-

to preserving World War II air
craft, to take 30 of its military
planes to the International Air
Tattoo at Grenham Common
Aerodrome in southern Eng
land in July 1985.
Bowen said it was hoped the
CAF also could put on its aerial
warefare demonstrations at 35
other European air shows front
Spain to Scandanavia during the
summer of 1985.
“There is tremendous in
terest in World War II avaiation
in Europe,’’ Stanton said,
“perhaps much more than in the
United States.”
Skipper said the CAF was in
vited to participate in the 1984
Farnborough International
Aerospace Exhibition and
Flying Display in England. He
said the invitation was extended
at the request of Prince Philip,
Duke of Edinburgh.
But Skipper said the logistical
and financial problems of mov
ing CAF craft across the Atlantic
on such short notice were too
great for the 1984 proposal.
The vintage multi-engine
bombers and military transports
can be flown across the North
Atlantic, Skipper said, but the
smaller aircraft must be dis
assembled and shipped by sea.
State charges men with bid-rigging
United Press International
AUSTIN — Attorney Gener
al Jim Mattox filed suit Monday
against a former Texas prison
employee and his business part
ner, alleging the two cheated the
state out of $100,000 by rigging
bids.
The lawsuit alleges that for
mer Texas Department of Cor
rections employee Leon M. Dan-
chak, previously a construction
estimator for TDC, and Howard
L. Jackson, president of Supply
and Service of Texas Inc., con
spired to stifle competition for
construction supply contracts at
the prison.
“The state of Texas has been
defrauded out of at least
$100,000 because of these
alleged illegal activities,” Mattox
said. “We’ve caught them, and
we’re going to try and recoup
those losses.”
The suit, which was filed in a
Travis County district Court,
seeks the recovery of actual
damages, $ 1 million in civil dam
ages from each corporate defen
dant and $5 million in punitive
damages.
Named as defendants were
Danchak, Jackson, Supply and
Services of Texas Inc., and three
other companies operated by
Jackson under assumed busi
ness names.
Danchak was fired from TDC
in December after an investiga
tion into bidding irregularities.
While working tor the prison On larger projects, the suit
system’s Beto Unit, he was re- said, Danchak subverted formal
sponsible for purchasing con- bidding procedures by breaking
struction supplies and services large orders into several smaller
for TDC projects.
According to Mattox’s suit,
Danchak and Jackson conspired
to fix and maintain artificially
high prices by submitting ficti
tious bids from non-existent
companies and by submitting
bids from companies that had the possibility that criminal
actually offerred bids at lower charges would be filed against
prices. Danchak or Jackson.
purchases that did not require
the formal bids.
Mattox said his office also is
looking into the construction of
a dairy at TDC and also certain
architectural fees.
