Court says suit only sew-sew
United Press International
FORT WORTH — A federal
judge has dismissed the sex dis
crimination suit of a woman who
claimed her former supervisor or
dered her to sew a button on his
shirt.
U.S. District Judge Eldon Mahon
Tuesday said the suit, seeking more
than two years back pay for
Josephine Kennedy, was frivolous
and ordered Kennedy to pay court
costs.
Kennedy had testified Steve Pat
terson, her supervisor at Southwest
Petroleum, once approached her
“and took his shirt off and asked me
to sew the button on,” a task he did
not request of the five male em
ployees in the office. She said Pat
terson also called her names and had
told her to shut up.

WASHINGTON — President
Carter hopes the Senate now will go
ahead with its evaluation of the arms
limitation treaty “on its merits,” free
of the issue that has slowed its
progress — Soviet troops in Cuba.
Carter scheduled a breakfast ses
sion Wednesday with his domestic
policy advisers and a meeting with
Democratic state party leaders, who
are concerned about his standing in
public opinion polls and the possi
bility of a challenge by Sen. Edward
Kennedy, D-Mass.
“We do believe that there is a
feeling there that we ought to move
forward with SALT, that it ought to
be considered on its merits,” press
secretary Jody Powell told reporters
Tuesday. *
He said Carter hopes steps he
disclosed Monday night to counter
the Russian troop deployment in
Cuba will ease congressional con
cerns and free the Senate to move
toward ratification of the treaty.
But Senate Republican leader
Howard Baker, a potential GOP
presidential candidate, voiced dis
pleasure with Carter’s policy on
Cuba. He said the Senate should
take up SALT II quickly, but pre
dicted it would fail without substan
tial amendments.
Baker said the Soviets have pur
sued “such an adventuristic foreign
policy,” including stationing a com
bat brigade in Cuba, that SALT
cannot stand up under Senate |
scrutiny.
Senate consideration of the pad
has been halted since the discoven
of the combat troops was revealed
Carter studied about 30 possible
options for retaliating against tke
Soviets for refusing to remove oi
alter the status of troops in Cuba 1'
but quickly narrowed themtolOlol
“avoid rattling the saber,” official^
said.
One official involved in tlel
decision-making process said Carta I
last week was given about 30 prope’

Business candidate prevails
Cleveland mayor loses voU :
United Press International
CLEVELAND — Ohio Lt. Gov.
George Voinovich, a Republican
strongly backed by Cleveland’s
powerful business community, de
feated populist Mayor Dennis
Kucinich and two other major can
didates in the city’s non-partisan
mayoral primary election Tuesday.
Kucinich, dogged by the the city’s
lingering fiscal crisis and a near-loss
in a bitter recall election, finished
second in the voting, qualifying him
for a runoff against Voinovich in the
Nov. 6 general election.
But the result of Tuesday’s
citywide balloting left the 32-year-
old mayor in the deepest trouble of
his stormy political career.
Voinovich beat Kucinich, 47,743
votes^to 36,515. City Council Major
ity Leader Basil Russo had 21,962
votes and State Sen. Charles Butts
was fourth with 19,431. Socialist
Workers Party candidate Thabo
Ntweng trailed with 1,546 votes.
Running hard for a second two-
year term at City Hall, Kucinich has
met vigorous opposition from Cleve
land’s business leaders, both politi
cal parties and most of the
local labor unions.
Voinovich, on the other hand,ii I
viewed by Cleveland’s busines!|
leaders as their only hope to ouslil
mayor they see as a bitter enemy I
Kucinich barely survived an At |
gust 1978 recall election. Thencam
the city’s December 1978
crisis, when Cleveland failed towi
refinancing on $14 million in
term bank notes. The city still isa
default on the bulk of the overdue
debt.
