Ferraro urges women to vote
By EVANS WITT
AP Political Writer
FORT LEE, N.J. Geraldine Ferraro celebrated her
birthday yesterday by urging women to use their right to
vote written into the Constitution exactly 64 years ago
to make her the nation’s first female vice president.
“Sixty-four years ago today, women couldn’t hold
public office,” she said. “In 1984, we’ll elect one of our
own to the nation’s second highest office.”
At the celebration of “Women’s Equality Day,” Ferra
ro quoted Susan B. Anthony, one of the most prominent president of the United States,” Ferraro told a crowd of
early feminists. several hundred at a recreation center here.

Bush defends Republican stand
for strong Defense Department
By MICHAEL PUTZEL
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON Vice President
George Bush accused his Democratic
opponents yesterday of advocating
“peace through weakness” and “a
defense policy with no backbone.”
In remarks made at the opening of
the Disabled American Veterans con
vention in Washington, Bush said the
Democrats Walter F. Mondale and
Geraldine Ferraro “talk as if
peace and weakness mean the same
thing.”
Bush addressed the disabled veter
ans two days after President Reagan,
in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars in Chicago, suggested indirect
ly that Mondale was a “jackass” for
opposing the major new weapons
systems Reagan has advocated.
White House Chief of Staff James
Baker downplayed Reagan’s remark
in an appearance Sunday on NBC’s
“Meet The Press.” Saying Reagan
was quoting former Democratic
House Speaker Sam Rayburn when
he used the term, Baker said the
BE A PART FROM THE START
president “certainly did not intend to
say that (jackass) with respect to the
nominee on the other ticket, as some
have suggested.”
But Baker acknowledged that the
president “thinks very little of the
nuclear freeze; he thinks people who
support a nuclear freeze are to some
extent naive.”
Bush, returning from a weekend at
his vacation home in Maine, took a
similar tack.
Saying the Democratic challengers
want to cancel the MX missile, B-l
bomber and deployment of Pershing
and cruise missiles in Western Eu
rope at a time when the Soviets hold a
numerical advantage in land-based
missiles and bombers, Bush said the
opponents “may advocate a defense
policy with no backbone, but it’s not
what President Reagan and I want.”
The text of the speech mentioned
Mondale and Ferraro by name, but
Bush followed the example of his
running mate and dropped the names
of the Democatic nominees when he
delivered his speech, referring to
them only as “our opponents.”

Geraldine Ferraro
The Reagan administration, he
said, has “insisted the United States
bargain from a position of strength. It
seems to me just simple common
sense that if you’re really serious
about arms reduction, you fund those
weapons systems that some want to
scrap ”
He called it a choice between
“peace through • strength versus
peace through weakness.”
The vice president, in an aside, said
he “didn’t come here to make a shrill,
partisan speech.” But he seized the
opportunity to tell the veterans about
a film clip in a biographical movie
about Bush shown at the Republican
National Convention last week.
The clip, which Bush said was shot
from a submarine in the South Pacif
ic in 1944, showed a naval aviator,
identified as Bush.
“I was accused by the political
opposition of what they called epau
let-flexing because of emphasizing
the fact that I fought and was in
combat,” Bush said. “If she’s (Ferra
ro) troubled by that now, wait’ll No
