However, Wyoming's 'governor has said he will consider calling a special session if his state's ratification is needed. The Times estimated that at least a year will elapse before enough states ratify the amendment to make it law. the Seriate out of recess and into session yesterday specifically to act on it.

He said state leaders, including the governor and himself, followed the amendment's progress Through the House yesterday by talking long-distance with congressional aides in Washington, D.C. The New York Times reported last night that the amendment appears likely to win approval in enough states to take effect by the 1972 elections. The prediction is based on a survey conducted by the Times. The newspaper said the chances for ratification this year are good to excellent in 33 states including Iowa and Wisconsin.

Montevideo, Arlan Stangeland of Barnesville and Warren Chamberlain of Faribault. How the apparently premature action would affect the legality of Minnesota's ratification action was uncertain last night. Rep Peter Fugina, DFLer from Virginia, asked on the House Floor before the vote whether it would be legal. House Ma-jo i ty Leader Lindstrom said he didn't know, but the House went ahead with the vote.

Ratification in Minnesota and Delaware was followed by action in Washington, Tennessee and i cut. The amendment must be approved by 38 states to become effective. Minnesota Gov. Wendell Anderson signed the resolution at 3:36 p.m., although technically his signature wasn't required. Secretary of State Arlen Erdahl also signed, as required by law.

"They're (Delaware) trying to use that technicality to gain first place," Sen. -Stanley Holmquist of Grove City, leader of the Conservative Senate majority, said Tuesday night. Holmquist, who admitted that the Legislature had planned in advance to become the first to ratify the amendment, brought Continued From Page 1 A I theran Church but "we needed more room," Maeder said. The courthouse site, too, is more readily accessible. It is in the clothing room where the first women welfare recipients will be worked into the program.

TTiey will sort clothes, maybe do some sewing and Ironing, and help clients pick out what they need," he said. Later, the women also may be used in helping with volunteer programs such as visiting nursing homes. So far, a total of more than 200 hours has been put In by relief recipients. The jobs are only part time, he explained. As an example, a recipient with a food grant of $17.50 would put In 10 hours of work to "pay" for it.

Then, too, the department wants to give workers time to look for permanent jobs. Relief aid is given on a need basis and persons have to apply each time they need help. They don't automatically get a grant every week or month. It is basically assistance for persons facing emergency situations not eligible for unemployment aid or Social Security programs. The county's relief rolls fluctuate monthly and last month, there were about 60 on general maintenance, which includes food, clothing and shelter.

It is from this group the work project participants are taken. All, however, are not able to work. Some have medi-, cal problems, some are mothers with small children, some are taking care of foster children and others al- ready are working but not making enough to meet daily needs. i Maeder said the county work project is envisioned as one to be carried on a continuing basis. "It not only gives us a closer contact with clients but we hope to train them in how to get a job and maybe even give them a referral for a permanent job," Maeder said.

"We want them to develop something out of it (the program) and not make it a 'make work' thing." Although the Olmsted County program is not unique in the state, it may be more far reaching than many others. Olmsted County had a similar program in effect for four years, but it was dropped In 1966 when persons collecting general relief dropped to "almost none."
