THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD, BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS Battle Over Equal Rights For Men, Women Monday, Julr IS, IMS Committee Seeks New Amendment To Constitution Seven Members Put Up Fight Against Proposal a i Confusion WASHINGTON --A battle over equal rights for men and women began in Congress today. 1 The House jud.iciary com- mittee touched off the con; troversy by filing a'major- report urging adoption of legislation proposing an equal rights amendment to constitution. The report said such action was needed to halt what it termed dis- crimination against women in the form of lower pay schedules, and to prevent their exclusion from 3 many Jobs. Protesting vigorously, seven com- mittee members filed two minority reports condemning the suggested Myths And Legends Tell Of War Effort In Orient By CtYDE A.TARNSWORTH KUNM1KO, the way I heard it your American soldier in China will cock his feet up arid add another touch to the already vast collection of myths and related to States war effort in the Orient. Some of stories might have a shred ol truth.but.most of them defy attempts at confirmation.

That keep -them from good stories. There's a recurrent myth propagated by the boys who used to fly the Hump over the rugged North Burma route, before the conquust of Burma permitted easier passages--the story of sighting-a mountain mile higher than Mt. Everest. 80 far as I know the map coordinates of thls-peak never have been recorded. There 1 the tale of the fellow that sold a whole airplane on the black market, or engineering the disposal of an entire convoy.

The raconteurs never stand short on anything but the names. amendment Lose Rights? They asserted it would take away many rights women need, such, as special health laws, and thaP It -would be 'mischief breeding" and I "confusing." It would, they said raise such questions as whether a wife shouldn't be equally liable with the husband for support of a family or paying alimony. The majority report, unsigned. recommended simply that Congress aubmit to the states this proposed constitutional amendment: "That equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex. greso and the scveraj states shall have power within tncir respective jurisdictions, to enforce article I by appropriate legislation, This amendment shall take effect three years after the date of, ratlflca- tion."

As the myth runs--and you hear it over and American soldier In southeast China, riding the Hankow-Canton railway at the end of a long AWOL drunk, slept through his appointed -station and passed that mythical place where the Free China train crew turned the train over on schedule to the trainmen for Occupied China. He woke up with a headache In a large and strange railway station. He wandered about, trying to find someone who spoke English and, failing, was about to approach one of the strangely uniformed soldiers ho saw about the place.

He thought they were Chinese. But before he reached them fi Chinese' touched him on the shoulder, told him. "Boo- how," (not good) and led him away to safety.
