Women won't increase
ranks in
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Women may increase their
numbers in state level
political offices tomorrow,
but experts anticipate no
increase in the strength of
female representation on
Capitol Hill.
Leaders of the National
Women's Political Caucus
and the Women's Campaign
Fund were disappointed by
the • prospects for women
candidates primarily
because they wanted to break
the current sex barrier in the
U.S. Senate.
But only_ one woman,
,Connecticut's Gloria
Schaffer, survived the
primaries. Despite her
popularity as secretary of
state, she apparently has
failed to woo voters from
GOP incumbent Lowell
Weicker.
Nor were any great gains
likely to be made in the
House, where women occupy ,
19 seats
"Holding even at 19 will be
a gain in itself since we have
to elect three new women
members to do that,"
lamented Carol Handles of
the Women's Campaign
Fund.
But there has been a
marked increase in political
activity among women during
1976, reflected most -notice
ably on the state level—the
traditional training ground
for candidates seeking to
come to Washington.
Nineteen women have been
nominated as major party
candidates for statewide jobs
including two with good
chances of becoming
governors. And the number of
women seeking state
legislative offices has in
creased by 12 per cent over
1974.

House,
Although 52 women are
running for the House, the
experts agree that number is
misleading because so many
face strong incumbents.
"The most discouraging
revelation of 1976 is that
access to party nominations
has not improved for women
seeking open seats in the U.S.
House of Representatives,"
said Betsy Wright, who heads
the fund-raising arm of the
Women's Political Caucu's.
Only 15 women
congressional candidates are
heavily favored including
12 incumbents and two
newcomers. Three in
cumbents are retiring and
four others Pat Schroeder,
D-Colo., Martha Keys, D-
Kan., Gladys Spellman, D-
Md., and Helen Meyner. D-
N.J. have strong
challengers.
Rep. Keys has been battling
a unique election problem,
stemming from her marriage
t9 - a congressional colleague,
Rep. Andrew Jacobs, D-Ind.
While Jacobs has heard little
criticism, his wife's opponent
has generated among Kansas
voters considerable concern
about the marriage.
Democrats Barbara
Mikulski in Maryland and
Mary Rose Oakar of Ohio are
expected to win House seats.
Oakar, in fact, has no
Republican opponent.
Women are continuing to
make history on the state
level, following closely in the
steps of Connecticut Gov. Ella
Grasso. Two years ago,
Grasso became the first
woman in the nation's history
to become governor without
trading on a husband's
reputation. .
Two more Democratic
women could follow this year

He repeated his sharp
criticism of Mondale, saying

presidential nominee was
trying to "dredge .up

In his prepared text, which
went undelivered in Midland,
Dole said there is one way to
sum up the difference . be
tween Ford and Carter.
"One is looking for ways to
spend your money," he said.
"The other is looking for ways
to give it back to you."
He asked: " Whom should
you trust with power? A man
who has hungered for it for
years with single-minded
ambition and calculation...?
Or a man like Gerald Ford
who never sought power but
who has handled it well?"
He said breaking •up oil
companies and cutting the
defense budget would not
openly hurt the nation as a
whole, but would cost jobs in
Texas.

Although the women's
caucus and campaign fund
have raised an . estimated
$150,000 for female can

Mondale sees win
CANTON, Ohio (UPI) Democratic vice
presidential candidate Walter Mondale,
expressing confidence Jimmy Carter will
win, yesterday brushed off recent polls
showing President Ford gaining strength.
He said it was similiar to the 1960 election
when John F. Kennedy started with a large
lead but barely won the election.
At an airport news conference, Mondale
said Carter still holds a lead in every national
poll "and that's the place to be."
. "We're going to win and win very hand
somely," Mondale said.
Asked why the polls had taken such a swing
Post mildly favors Carter
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Making its first endorsement
of a presidential candidate in
more than two decades, the
Washington Post said
yesterday it is inclined to
favor Jimmy Carter because
he would bring a fresh view to
serious problems that lie
ahead.
The newspaper acknow
ledged in an editorial, how
ever, that its recommendation
was "not much of an endorse
ment."
A spokesman for the Post
said the last time the
newspaper had formally
endorsed a presidential
candidate was when it backed
Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.
"A reasonable ' and
respectable case can be made
for the election of Gerald
Ford to a full term as
president in Tuesday's
election, if you believe the
presidential business of ,the
next four years will be pretty
Fewer blacks seeking office
WASHINGTON (UPI)
There are 287 blacks seeking
major political office this
year according to a survey by
the Joint Center for Political
Studies but the number
running for Congress is
slightly down.
Forty-three blacks are
seeking House seats and two
are running for the Senate. In
1974, there were 53 black
House 'aspirants and three
seeking Senate seats.
In addition, 240 black

in Ford's favor, the Minnesota senator an
swered, "when you get close to the election
and when you're running against a sitting
president, it makes it tough."
Earlier, Mondale told a corps of Carter
volunteers in the Cleveland area that every
vote counts and a vote in each precinct in
Ohio could give Carter the state and the
' election because "it's that close."
He thanked the volunteers for all their
work and then Joked with the crowd, telling
them "you don't need any sleep . . . you all
look rested" and said they should work
around the clock until election day.
much business as usual," a
Post editorial said.
"A marginally stronger
case can be made for the
election of Jimmy Carter, if
you believe the immediate
and long-term future will
require something else. We
are inclined to the second of
these propositions."
The editorial said Ford
"has been a very — good
president in many respects,"
and many of his failures have
been the consequences of
dealing with a hostile
Deomcratic Congress.
The combination of Carter
and a Democratic Congress,
while not guaranteed, at least
provides a chance for more
cooperation, the Post said.
The newspaper said Car
ter's credentials to become
president include his selec
tion of Walter Mondale as his
running mate, his sympathy
for ill, elderly and unem-
state legislative seats around
the nation.
Cecil Pa rtee is the
Democratic candidate for
attorney general of Illinois,
while Asa Spaulding is the
Republican nominee for
secretary of state in North
Carolina.
The 17 black members of
the House all Democrats
are seeking re-election. Seven
face challenges ' from black
Republicans; five from white
Republicans; and five are
opposed by both white
ployed Americans and his
"well-deserved reputation as
a racially reconstructed
Southerner."
Perhaps the biggest plus for
Carter is the possibility he
will bring "energy and in
telligence and a fresh eye to
some very serious and dif
ficult problems that lie
ahead," the Post said.
"We will be frank to say
that Mr. Carter has also, over
the past few months, revealed
sides and streaks to his
personality that are distur
bing and that we can only
hope reflect the strains of
what has been an ex
traordinary campaign en
terprise," it said.
"If this doesn't strike you
as much of an endorsement
well that's fine," the editorial
concluded. "It isn't meant to
be. Not being in the business

marketing candidates, we

Ford a nice man,
Carters mom says
PITTSBURGH (UPI) Jimmy Carter's mother said
yesterday President Ford is such a nice man she
sometimes wishes her son was running against someone
else. •
The 78-year-old Miss Lillian stressed that she is
"strictly for Jimmy and not against Mr. Ford"in the
campaign.
"In fact," she said, "Mr. Ford is such a nice man I
sometimes wished we had something worse to run
against."
During a stopover in Pittsburgh in her 21-city. final
campaign tour, the Democratic presidential candidate's
mother disputed a suggestion that she and first lady Betty
Ford would make a good ticket of their own.
"Mrs. Ford likes to dance, and I like to fish," she said.
Miss Lillian said she is concerned about issues such as
equal rights for women and the plight of senior citizens,
but does not expect to become a presidential adviser on
the elderly in a Carter administration.
Politics is not a key to her relationship with son Jimmy
Carter, she said.
"Politically, we've never hit base together," she
declared. "We just don't discuss political issues."
