Page 16/The BattalionAVednesday, January 23,1985 f"" II" —- ET CETERA Senator Dole faces dilemma V' I ■ with civil rights Associated Press WASHINGTON — Major civil rights groups appear headed for a confrontation with Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole over legislation to restore anti-discrimination pro tection to female, handicapped, el derly and minority Americans. Civil rights fortes and Dole are preparing vastly different versions of anti-bias bills to restore sale- guards lost in a Supreme Court rul ing. The outcome could help test the Kansas Republican's mettle in his new job as floor leader. Dole will anger conservatives if they believe he’s moving to expand civil rights laws, and he rebuked by liberals if he refuses to restore the broad safeguards the) want. For now, Dole has sided with the conservatives, the Reagan adminis tration, and parts of the business community in deciding just how much protection is needed to restore the status quo from before the rul ing- , , Their narrowly constructed bill may be introduced this week, as may the liberals’ version sponsored by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. and many others. Aides to Dole, calling him a “mas ter of compromise,” say he plans to get some form of legislation through the Senate and not let the issue die there as it did in a conservative fil ibuster in the waning days of the last session. The liberals’ hill passed the House 375-32 last June and is expected to win there again by an overwhelming margin. The Supreme Court ignited the dispute last Feb. 28, when it stripped away an enforcement weapon against colleges that receive fedt money while practicing sex disoi nation.

Florida citrus growers affected by cold wave Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. — Ciov. Boh Graham declared a state of emer gency Tuesday while federal inspec tors were sent to assess damage to citrus and vegetable crops from a two-day cold wave that ranks as one of F lorida’s worst in a century. The governor also said he was ad justing weight restrictions on trucks carrying citrus and sugar cane so growers could move their frozen crops to processing plants as soon as possible before they rot. Whatever crops escaped Mon day’s wind and cold were ravaged by a second round of the Arctic blast Monday night and early Tuesday. “Florida’s agriculture industry is being deeply affected,” Graham said in Tallahassee. “The state is closely monitoring the situation on an hour- to-hour basis and we will be provid ing whatever assistance we can.” Temperatures during Monday night ranged from the low teens to the low 30s in most of the growing regions, rising into the 40s during Tuesday afternoon. State Agricult are Commit Doyle Conner com pared the i spell to thr disastrous iieeitj Chi istnias 1983. but said the tM this time is “more widespread, crops destroyed.” |f h Oldlimers in the citrus indusji said this may have been moreil structive than earlier freezes.suclil those in 1977, 1902 and 1945 Spokesman F.arl Wells of i state’s largest growers orgatlizaw Florida Citrus Mutual, said “grow are in shock ...
