ERA reads clearlv, positively, and absolutely: "Section 1 s Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. "Section 2: The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." The Equal Rights Amendment will require the same absolute ban on sex discrimination that is now required against race discrimination. If the Internal Revenue Service and the U:S. Supreme Court apply the same ruling on sex that they did in the Bob Jones University case, the implications for our private schools, colleges and churches are tremendously far-reachin- Single-Se- x by John F. McManus Belmont. Massachusetts For years, it has been popular in our country for the press, and even some government officials, to heap ridicule upon anyone who expresses concern about Communist subversion in the I'nited States. Hut the prestigious Rockefeller Commission, in its report about the CIA. has confirmed that such concern is indeed That a Commission headed by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller should dwell on the fact of Communist espionage and subversion within our borders is quite a surprise. It is no surprise, however, to note how little attention the news media have paid to the Rockefeller Commission's warnings. well-founde- What Did The Commission Say? First of all. the Commission said that 'the I nited States remains the principal intelligence target of the Communist bloc." Further, it said that "the Communists' invest large sums of money, personnel, and sophisticated technology in collecting information within the I'nited States on our military capabilities, our weapons systems, our defense structure, and our social divisions. The Communists seek to penetrate our intelligence services, to compromise our law enlorcement agencies, and to recruit as their agents Inited States citizens holding sensitive government and industry jobs. g.

Helping Our Enemies If. in tact. Communist espionage activities are increasing within our borders, why are we .assisting Communism with proliferating procredits? Is grams of foreign aid and long-ternot this assistance helping the Communists to undermine our way of life? Also, why do America's leaders continue to engage in accommodation and appeasement of the Reds, all in the giddy spirit of detente? Such policies, whose implementation always leads to more Communist agents within our borders, only serve to enhance our enemy's subversive capabilities. m Scuttling The Wutchdogs Hut an even larger question cries for an answer. Why. in the face of this increased Communist activity, has our national security apparatus been almost completely destroyed? In 'recent years, the efforts of the CIA have been neutralized, the FHI has been unable to keep up with Communist subversion. and the Internal Security Division of anti-Communi- st the Justice Department, the Subversive Activities Control Hoard, and the House Committee on Internal Security hae all been abolished. In other worths, as the Communist subversion of America has mushroomed, our government has been systematically destroying the mechanisms that were created to protect us.

MAKES ALL OTHER MILLS AND MIXERS MILL AND MIXER COMBINATION OBSOLETE! This question opens up a whole new area of undesirable and unwanted effects of ERA. Some churches today are ordaining women as ministers, and that is their right to do so. Other churches and synagogues do not ordain women as ministers, priests, rabbis, or bishops, and it should be their right not to do so without losing their It is part of their religious faith that God has assigned a different role in this life to men and to women, and that these different roles are basic both to the ministerial mission and to the fumilv unit. .
