  • FEBRUARYS, 1979/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 15 ERA radification given another chance RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—The Equal Rights Amendment, defeated three times in the General Assembly, was given another chance for ratification in North Carolina when an optimistice group of supporters filed a ratification bill Monday night in the state senate. The bill was filed with the Senate principal clerk just before the evening session began, for introduction today. Sponsored by Senate majority leader Craig Lawing, D-Mecklenburg, it bears the signature of 19 co-sponsors, less than the number of votes needed to pass the measure in the 50-member Senate. But Lawing said three more signatures would soon be added, and he believed he controversial amendment will have the votes of several more senators when it reaches the floor. Although House supporters held up their plans to file a companion measure in the lower chamber, many backers on both sides of the hall were optimistic. "We have it," said Rep. Louise Brennan, D-Mecklenburg. "1 feel better about it this time than 1 have any time since 1973," she added. "Unless we thought we could win, we wouldn't introduce the bill. "1 think we've got 24 votes right now. and 1 think the other side will conceed us that right now," said Lawing. Gov. Jim Hunt, traveling in Switzerland on an industry-hunting trip, issued a statement Monday night calling for ERA's ratification. "I hope very much that ERA will be ratified in North Carolina this year, because 1 believe strongly, as does my wife, that it will result over time in us valuing women in our society more." Hunt said. "We do not presently show enough appreciation for women who choose to be full-time mothers and homemakers. 1 believe ERA will help us do that, both legally and in terms of attitude." But House Speaker Carl Stewart, D-Gaston, a supporter of ERA. was more cautious in his appraisal ol its chances. "There is a danger. The vote in the House is likeh to be closer." he said, referring to a six-vote margin in the last session. "The issue is still in doubt. I believe then- are 56 votes each way. and eight undecided," he added. "It's just as close in the House as it is in the Senate ERA cane close to ratification in the last session, clearing the House but failing in the Senate by two votes. Because of that loss, supporters have concentrated their efforts in the Seriate this time. Supporters have picked up at least four Senate votes in recent days, and Hunt has been credited with using his influence to cause much of that shift. Under the timetable proposed by supporters, the bill would go to the Senate Constitutional Amendments Committee this week, and a public hearing would be held next week. Committe Chairman Sen. Cecil Hill, D-Transylvania, supports ERA. Lawing said he expects the full Senate to vote on the measure later next week. If approved, Mrs. Brennan said supporters would press lor House committee action quickly, perhaps the day it is sent over from the Senate lawing said the hearing would be scheduled at the insistence of Lt. Gov. Jimmy Green. Although Green has opposed the measure in the past, Lawing and Green are close allies, and Lawing said the lieutenant governor was remaining neutral. "If he comes out and tries to beat it, and ever runs for statewide office again, he's in trouble and I told him that," Lawing said. "I think the women would say, shame on him," and if you don't beieve it bo ask Jim McDuffie." McDuffie was a state senator from Charlotte in 1977 who cast the deciding vote against ERA after first saying he would vote for the measure. He was soundly defeated in the next Democratic primary and in the genera] election as an independent.
