Hearing (Continued from Page 1) capacity to go to work. Though most of the women opposing the amendment agreed certain legal inequities do exist, they were unconvinced that a Constitutional amendment is the best way of solving the problems. “Personally, I like my government close to me,” Pamela Wise, representing the Committee for the Preservation of Womanhood, said. “Change the laws on the state level one-by one. Tell the federal boys no, this time well do it ourselves.” Besides trying to answer the arguments against ratification, proponents of the amendment pointed out several areas where women are now legally discriminated against, such as obtaining housing, credit and an education. The testimony lasted almost three hours, with only a small number of persons scheduled to testify being able to do so due to a time limitation. Testimony on an identical ratification bill in troduced last week in the senate will be held at 1 p.m. Monday. Persons wishing to testify during that hearing can sign up any time before Monday af ternoon with the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the bill has been referred.
