Lt. Gov. Zell Miller said after the luncheon that if the ERA is introduced in the Senate on the first day of the session as ex pected, he intends to call it up for a vote before lawmakers adjourn for President-elect Jimmy Carter’s inauguration in mid-January.

Former Sheriff Jimmy Blood worth resigned last October when he pleaded guilty to a charge of accepting $4,000 from convicted gambler William N. Hawes. He was sentenced to one year in prison and four on probation. Dist. Atty.
