House defeats by six votes attempt to revive the ERA
WASHINGTON — The House defeated by six votes an attempt to revive the Equal Rights Amendment yesterday, kicking off an uproar between Democrats and Republicans over who should be blamed for the defeat
The vote was 278 for the measure and 147 against — six votes fewer than the two-thirds majority, needed for passage.
The no votes included 109 Republicans, irate over a Democratic maneuver that permitted only 40 minutes of debate and no amendments. Supporters conceded that GOP amendments to prohibit the use of assault rifles would probably have passed if the Republicans had a chance to offer them.
During a debate punctuated by cheers and catcalls, supporters said that a vote against the proposed ERA would not be taken lightly by American women whose political clout is increasing.

By United Press International
NICOSIA, Cyprus — The ethnic Turkish minority on Cyprus seceded yesterday, declaring an independent republic on the sector of the island occupied by Turkish troops. The Turkish majority rejected the move.
The unilateral declaration of independence immediately sparked a crisis within NATO as Turkey recognized the new republic but other alliance members condemned the secession.
The State Department said the Reagan Administration asked Turkey to work to rescind the move.
Britain, the former colonial power on Cyprus, said it deplored the action and joined Greek Cypriot authorities in requesting an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council to discuss the crisis.
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS on the Greek side of the divided Mediterranean island poured out of their classrooms to protest the authority's move white in the Turkish sector people celebrated in the streets.
