TOWSON, Md. — Women
must end their “tradition of timid
ity” by providing a network of
support for each others’ goals,
Frances “Sissy” Farenthold of the
National Women’s Political
Caucus said Tuesday.
Farenthold, speaking before
about 50 Maryland women
elected officials, said there is a
need for support systems of
women to help women.
The former Texas legislator
told the women legislators and
local officials there has been a tra
dition of exclusion of women in
politics.
She said women helping
women and learning to work to
gether is what is needed now.
Farenthold called the meeting
at Goucher College, sponsored
by the Maryland Commission for
Women and funded by the Car
negie Institute, a “landmark."
“There is a sufficient number of
women holding office to effect
change,” she said. “Women can
work together on issues, but it
means bringing together elected
officials. ”
She said there are alternatives
to endless waiting and reticence,
such as a network of cooperation.
“Women have a tradition of
timidity, ” said Farenthold, who is
president of Wells College in Au
rora, N.Y.
She said women are the most
ignored resource in the United
States.
“No matter how successful we
are, we represent a discriminated
minority in this society," she said,
Women are in a state of "mis
placed euphoria” because more
women are being elected to office
than in the past. But the numbers
are not great and some women
are losing, Farenthold said.
ERA follows Mormon history,
Carter tells opposing church
United Press International
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah —
President Carter told a large au
dience ofanti-ERA Mormons that
the administration is trying to
spread a part of early Mormon
history throughout the nation by
pushing for the Equal Rights
Amendment.
The Mormon Church, which
sees the ERA as a threat to the
family, has been a major force in
preventing its ratification in
Utah, Nevada and Arizona, and
pro-ERA organizations had asked
Carter not to give a speech to
church members.
Once it became clear Carter
would not cancel his plans, some
leading ERA advocates said they
would assume the president was
weakening his stance in favor of
ERA if he did not mention the
amendment to the Mormons.
In his speech at the Mormon
Tabernacle Monday, the presi
dent expressed only indirect sup
port for ERA.
Carter noted that Mormons
early in their history allowed
women to attend college and that
the Utah constitution recognized
in 1896 that women and men
should have the same rights and
privileges.
“We are trying now to spread
that same commitment through
out our entire nation,” he said.
Carter accepted a family unity
award from the Mormons - a
sculpture of a family — and his
speech centered on the impor
tance of the family.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va.— Despite the wintry weather, politicians
started looking for the first tender shoots ofpresidential candidacies to
appear as soon as the midterm election results were counted.
It may be far too early for most aspirants to formally announce their
intentions, but in the complex rituals of politics meaning often is
attached to less direct events.
So the appearance of Senate GOP leader Howard Baker at Tuesday’s
closing sessions of the Republican Governors Association was being
watched closely for telltale signs of an emerging candidacy.
Baker was quizzed on his arrival Monday about a planned weekend
visit to New Hamphsire, but he insisted his mission was to help
Senator-elect Gordon Humphrey with his campaign deficit.
The Tennessee senator said he might visit New Hampshire fbrother
purposes later, but did not expect to make any decision on whether to
run for president until late summer or fall.
Baker’s conference speech was scheduled to be about the relation
ship of Congress and the governors hut the announced topic of such
speeches has little to do with what actually is talked about.
Republican National Committee Chairman Bill Brock also was on
the schedule Tuesday to speak alxmt “better relationships with the
state house and better relationships with the people," but the speech
text he released in advance was alxmt GOP gains in the; November
elections.
