The show, broadcast live over KZEL-FM, featured Pamela Wise, of the Committee for the Preservation of Womanhood, and LaVema Holmes, of the Oregon Professional Men’s and Women’s Club. The Equal Rights Amendment is currently the subject of committee hearings in Salem. The Amendment has been ratified by 22 states and needs the approval of twelve more before it becomes law. The main argument used by Pamela Wise against the passage of the ERA dealt with what she said were the capabilities of the 14th Amendment to the Con stitution of the United States of America According to her, the Amendment is equally effective in dealing with sex discrimination, while avoiding the heavy hand of the federal government. She said that it is up to the Supreme Court to enforce the 14th Amendment and that if this was done and a few areas of discimination still existed, then changes can be made on the state level. The 14th Amendment provides protection against discrimination based on race, creed or previous condition of servitude, but does not specifically mention sex. Wise felt that if the Supreme Court refused to grant women’s rights as prescribed tnder the 14th Amendment, “then they should be impeached.” Wise, who identified herself as an “executive homemaker” and a member of the right-wing John Birch Society, felt that the real problem with the ERA is that “the law is not needed.” She also warned of possible consequences of the ERA. Some of these consequences, which Wise emphasized were only “possible,” included “women in the trenches,” equal work for man and wife, and the same lavatory facilities for both sexes. I La Verna Holmes, who argued in favor of ERA passage, said j. that the Amendment should be ratified and became law to specifically prohibit (discrimination against women. What she wants, she said, “is equal rights for all.” Both Holmes and Wise agreed that the draft would affect men and women alike. However, they disagreed on the extent of that | effect.
