Kreskin was beaten in 14 moves, a feat Korchnoi says was impressive. (UPI) ERA called deadhoday, but notture WASHINGTON (UPI) — The initial seven-year deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment expires Thursday, and even though Congress has voted an extension, opponents are throwing a party to declare ERA dead. More than 1,100 people, including a who's who of the nation's political right wing, will drink, dine, dance and sing at a \Pro Family G*la\ honoring Phyllis Schlafly. the Illinois housewife who has become a nationwide figure fighting ERA. \It's all over,\ Mrs. Schlafly said. *'Seven years of controversy and debate ends with the failure of the so-called Equal Rights Amendment to gain acceptance.\ Opponents are writing ERA's obituary based on the arguments that Congress acted illegally in ex- tending the deadline to June 30, 1982, and that five states have rescinded their ratification. Mrs. Schlafly^ chairman-of \stop ERA,\ will be honored at a banquet. FLOOD! INSURANCE totally... H pays ttprvtect! Guard your home against nature's unpre- dictable temper.

Plottsborgh l£T US PUT YOU UNDER THE MAZULA HAT FOR COMPLETE PROTECTION WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Wednesday that states may pay unemployment benefits to striking workers even though employers are taxed to help foot the bill. But, in another labor case, the court decreed 5-4 that the government violated religious freedom in trying to impose its collective bargaining rules on church-operated schools. Affirmed in the benefits case was a lower- court ruling that Congress raised no barrier to states making their own decisions on whether to compensate people out of work because of a strike. The case arose when the New York Telephone JCo. went to court challenging a state law under which its striking employees drew unemployment compensation totaling $49 million. OPEN DAILY 9:30-9:30; SUNDAYS 10-6 The company argued the statute gave the strikers an \economic weapon\ to prolong their walkout and resist settlement efforts, and put the firm in the position of having to help finance a strike against it. This violated the government's policy of re- maining neutral in labor disputes, the company claimed. Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote the majority opinion, agreed with the lower court that the New York law \altered the economic balance between labor and management.\ But he said the case \does not involve any attempt by the state to regulate or prohibit private conduct in the labor-management field. It involves a state program for the distribution of benefits to certain members of the public.\ Only Rhode Island has a parallel law com- pensating strikers regardless of the circumstances. But some challenges are pending in federal courts against laws in Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which allow such payments so long as the strike does not shut the employer down. Stevens said the legislative histories of both the National Labor Relations Act and the Social Security Act indicate \Congress has been sensitive to the importance of states' interest in fashioning their own unemployment compensation programs and especially their own eligibility criteria.\ Justices Byron White and William Rehn- quist joined Stevens in the prevailing opinion. William Brennan, Thurgood Marshall and Harry Blackmun agreed with the result but filed separate opinions. THURS., FBI., SAT., SUN.
