am., but a guard spotted
them. Army troops were

Gay rights battle -

losing support

By CATHY McKERCHER

WASHINGTON (CP) —
The future of homosexual
rights in the Knived States
appears Increasingly cloudy
as gay-rights leaders find
themselves losing battles
they believe they had al-
ready won.

A year ago this month,
singer Anita Bryant
achieved international
prominence as an anti-
homosexual leader through
her successful campaign to
have voters reject a
homosexual

ce
in Dade County, Fla.

Since then the movement
has spread across the
country with votes
in Wichita, Kan; St. Paul,
Minn., and most recently,
Eugene, Ore, More repeal
efforts appear certain.

In California, 4 drive to put
a measure on the November
‘ballot enabling schools to
fire teachers who advocate
homosexuality is gaining
momentum, observers say.
In Seattle, Wash., petitions

, calling for a referendum on

that city’s homosexual rights
ordinances are being cir-
culate. i

The movement against

homosexuals also is found in
other fields,: ”
REJECT CASE ,

Tme U.S. Supreme Couwt
refused last fall to review the
dismissal of a homosexual
teacher who had taught for
13 years. It also has refused
torule on the legality of state
laws barring private
homosexual activity.  —..

The United Presbyteria

Church voted last month not

to allow homosexuals into

her the clergy. - ’

Ms, ‘ Bryawt, a former
beauty queen previously
known mainly for doing
orange juice commercials,

appears likely to win the
~Tomination this week as

vice-president of the Baptisi
10 tion, the larg

Protestant denomination in

the U.S. whose 13 million

members include President
Carter. ;
Observers say there are
several factors involved in
the growth of successful anti-
homosexual campaigns. ..
Ms. Bryant obviously
touched a reaponsive chord
when she based her cam-
* paign on moral rather than
civil rights grounds. ,
Fear also is a factor,
particularly the fear that
homosexual rights laws
would give homosexuals a
chance. to espouse their
‘views to children A recent
Gallup poll found ‘that al-
though 56 per cent of Ameri:
cans support the principle of
‘equal employment op-
portunities for homosexkals,
65 per cent were opposed to

allowing homosexuals to

teach in elementary schools.
IDENTIFY TREND

A factor that is more
difficult to identify appears
to be a growing conservative

shift if U.S. society.
The current issue of U.S.

News and World Report says”

evidence of “‘a conservative
tide” can be found in the ap-
. proval of California’s tax-
cutting Proposition 13 and

. the nomination of more con- |

gervatives for the November
congressional elections.

Women's rights groups
have cited the troubled
future of the Equal Rights
Amendment, still three
states away from ratifica-
tion, and federal moves to
cut funding for abortions as
indications of the growing
strength and organization of
the conservative side.

How that trend will
develop is unclear,

But homosexuals face a .

long and hard fight, not only

but to many of the
35 municipal righta or-
dinances now oa the books.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Senator George McGovetn
criticized the U.S. govern-

ment’s National Cancer:

Institute today for spending
billions of dollars trying to
find cures for cancer while
virtually ignoring steps that
could be taken to prevent it.

McGovern, in opening two
days of hearings. by his
Senate nutrition sub-
committee, said the
majority of cancefé appear
to be preventable.

Since the federal “war on
cancer” began in 1971, the
South ‘Dakota Democrat
said, “we have determined
that 66 to 90 per cent. of
cancers are apparently

environmentally caused.

More striking is the dis-
cavery that 40 per cent of the
cancers in men and 6) per
cent in women are nutrition-
related.” ;
MvGovern said these

cancers include cancer of the
breast, colon’ and. rectum,

Are unfamiliar car noises as

gineers at Ford Motor Com-
pany of Canada, Limited call
these clicks and .clanks. “‘car
talk.” And they say that anyone
can get to know what “Betsy”
is saying, at least well enough to
determine just how serious her
illness may be. Undersianding
what their vehicle is trying to
tell them will help owners take
better care of their cars and
avoid troublesome breakdowns,
The Ford of Canada engi-
neers have put together a glos-
sary.of sounds for owners in-
terested in learning the ABC's
of car chatter. Noises worth
noting: | a
ENGINE CACKLES
A car’s idle speed may need
adjustment if the engine
“cackles” or continues to run
for a brief time after the igni-
tion is shut off, Dieseling, was
mechanics call the problem,
may also occur after several”
short trips. Engine cackles after
la short drive indicate that an
engine's emissions control: de-
vices have not warmed up
sufficiently and are not cause
for alarm.

IGNITION CLICK case

when the ignition keg is turned
en and the car's engitie refuses
lo start, a dead or corroded bal-

tery, loose connection, etc., may
have, cul off the electrical cur-
Tent to the starting system, Less
frequently, the “click” is caused
by a faulty starter relay switch.
The whirring noise of a small

electrical motor from under the
hood, on the other hand, means
trouble in the starter motor.

TIRE TICKS :

A thythmic ticking sourid at
Yow speeds often warns that a
tock or piece of glass is im-_
bedded in a tire, The “tick”’
usually is blotted out or mufited
by other noises at higher speeds,
and may lessen in time as the
object works its way into the
tread, A quick check to remove
the problem before real damage

. is done can eliminate the need
’ for a new fire or avert a dan-

gerous blowout.

SPEEDOMETER CHATTER

Achattering or clicking sound
from the instrument panel
usually indicates the need for
speedometer service, The noise
may or may.nat be accompanied
by a flutter of the speedometer
needle, In most cases, a kink has
developed in the cable or the
system needs Inbrication.

could be needed, If the pings
turn into a loud, metallic bang,
something more serious is afoot
which needs immediate pro-|
fessional attention.

EXHAUST PIPE POPS

Accompanied by a rough
