Woman's Mights Clear Congress House '-Furthermore, Since Women Insist On Wearing The Pants Around The House, They Shouldn't Object To Ansivering A Draft CallV Complicated Formulas Would Divide Funds Among States, Cities Washington (UPI) The House Ways and Means Committee agreed yesterday on a bill that would provide $3.5 billion a year in Federal revenue sharing funds to local governments and $1.8 billion to the states. Amendment Providing Legal Equality Passes Senate, Goes To States Washington (UPI) By a resounding roll-call vote of 84 to 8, the Senate yesterday approved and sent to the states for ratification a proposed constitutional amendment guaranteeing women equal legal rights with men. Senate Mfe ment on the basis of all state and local taxes other than income. STATES WOULD handle distribution of the $3.5 billion for local governments and the amount allocated to each state for that purpose would depend upon the state's population, the number of units of government with 50,000 or more population, and its per capita income compared to other states. Within the state, the money would be passed down to local units of government based on the same three factors in the first year and after that a local unit of government's own taxing effort, including property and school taxes, would be the formula.

The Mills bill also would provide for so-called voluntary "piggyback" collection of state income taxes by the Federal government. At least five states with a combined population that totals 5 per cent of the 75 million Federal taxpayers in the nation would have to agree to joint tax collections before it would go into effect. MARCH 23, 1972 Thompson said Hartke was on the Senate floor late yesterday working on legislation involving equal rights for women. Lindsay's status was announced through the office of Fort Wayne Mayor Ivan M. Lebamoff.

DAVID J. KIESTER, Lebamoff's assistant, said, "We are going on the assumption that Mayor Lindsay will not enter the primary." He said there had been no word from Lindsay since Tuesday afternoon. "At that time it was indicated he would not be a candidate, although he gave no definite answer," Kiester said. James W. Bealty, 11th District Democratic chairman who is McGov-ern's Indiana campaign manager, said Turn to Page 14, Column 1 Today's IVfr Here are the words, God, that I accept: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." I know that when I confess my sins and resolve to live a new life, He says, "Your sins are forgiven," He also says, "Follow Me." Help me to trust these words as well as to accept them.

Amen. calliii poll Humphrey Aides Arrive To Enter Him In State Presidential Primary If the measure, tentatively approved subject to a later vote, wins congressional approval, the revenue sharing provisions would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 1972, and even the smallest local governmental units would be eligible lor a share of the money. THE PANEL scheduled a final vote for April 11 on the measure drafted by its chairman, Representative Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) as an, alternative to President Nixon's revenue sharing proposals. The complicated formulas for distributing the money could be changed before the final vote but committee sources predicted it would not be.

Mills opposed Mr. Nixon's plan to spend $5.3 billion in the first year with no strongs attached on how the local or state governments could use the money. UNDER PRESSURE from governors and mayors, Mills then introduced his measure which restricts areas of spending for local governments but placed no strings on state shares. Mills' bill would provide $5.3 billion a year for five years, and allow for up to $300 million a year additional spending after the first year depending on the effects of inflation. Committee sources said the Mills bill would give more aid to big cities than the Nixon proposal.

Treasury Department aides have worked closely with the committee in drafting the measure and White House opposition was not expected. UNDER THE BILL, no state could get more than 6 per cent of the total Federal income tax collected in that state, but each also is guaranteed at least 1 per cent of that figure. Half of the $1.8 biliion for states would be allocated in the basis of state income tax collected and the other $900 million on the total of all revenue in the state, a combination of state and local tax collections.

When it comes it will be today. After defeating a series of weakening amendments offered by Senator Sam J. Ervin who complained in a voice breaking with emotion that his colleagues would "repeal the handiwork of God," the Senate indorsed this language to be the 27th Amendment to the' Constitution: "EQUALITY of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. "The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. "This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratificai-tion." The amendment is subject to ratification by three-fourths or 38 of the states.

Its election-year approval by the Senate after a feminist campaign of nearly half a century makes it the first constitutional amendment affecting women to clear Congress since women were guaranteed the right to vote in 1920 with ratification of the 19th Amendment. THE HOUSE approved the equal rights amendment in each of the last two years, the last time by a vote of 354 to 23, but Ervin almost single-handedly blocked Senate action on the measure for years. In Honolulu, the Hawaii legislature ratified the proposed constitutional amendment less than two hours after it was given final congressional approval. Final approval by the state Senate and House came at 12:10 p.m. (HST) (5:10 p.m.

EST), putting the island state in contention to be the first to ratify the amendment. The eight senators who voted against the amendment were Ervin, Wallace F. Bennett (R-Utah), James L. Buckley Norris Cotton Paul Fannin Barry M. Goldwater Clifford J.

Hansen (R-Wyo.) and John C. Stennis Two presidential contenders, Senators Edmund S. Muskie (D-Me.) and Hubert H. Humphrey voted for the amendment. Two others, Senators George S.

McGovern and Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) did not vote. MCGOVERN, however, issued a statement from Milwaukee calling it "a historic day" and noted he had been present Tuesday to vote against "crippling amendments."

"The reports that have been available to me indicate the situation is worsening," said Dr.

P. H. Connell, director of the Maudsley Hospital Drug Dependence Clinic and a consultant at a conference here of 100 narcotics experts from Europe and the U.S. "We've been reading about big heroin seizures in France and about new restrictive laws on opium growing in Turkey. But I have been told that if drug traffickers lost 75 per cent of their output in seizures, the market would not essentially change and the profit would be the same.

There hasn't been a real panic among drug addicts in the United States in a long time, has there?" CONNELL HAS lectured and traveled extensively in the U.S. and has given testimony to U.S. government investigators on Britain's approach to drugs.

SOME 39 PER cent said they would opt for military service, while 55 per cent chose nonmiltiary service and six per cent had no opinion. Proponents of the national service plan to see in it a way to provide special training to young men who do not plan to go to college, and to give all young people a better and more realistic view of the social problems of America, while offering them an opportunity to do something about them. Those who support such a plan also see a chance to further desegregation by bringing young men of all races and social classes together in common undertakings.

McGovern is entered in the Ohio primary, which also is held on May 2, as is the Alabama primary. On the Republican side, backers of United States Representative John M.

For throe decades, a substantial majority of U.S. citizens has favored legislation that would require every young man to give a period of service to the nation.
