Page 10 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1981 National Ex-Mormon fights for ERA United Press International CASPER, Wyo. — A Mormon excommunicated by her church for supporting the Equal Rights Amendment brought 200 dele gates at the state convention of the National Organization for Women to their feet, clapping and cheer ing, by urging them to “fight to the death” for ERA ratification. Sonia Johnson, 42, a homemak er, said Saturday: “Men have al ways been willing to sacrifice for what they want. There will be no change until they know that we (women) are willing to sacrifice our human relations, reputations. money and our lives, if neces sary.” Wyoming is among the states that have ratified the ERA, but three other states must approve the measure before it can become law. Johnson received national attention in 1978 when she was excommunicated from the Mor mon Church because of her sup port for the ERA and for telling the Washington Post that the Mormon Church, which has pub licly opposed the ERA, was orga nizing anti-ERA rallies. “If men had at least 16,000 dis criminatory laws against them — 1,200 of them are federal laws — they would in 10 minutes be out rampaging in the streets,” she said. Johnson said she was a devout Mormon and opposed the ERA until she attended a church meet ing designed to discuss why the Church opposed the ERA. But she said the Church speaker’s atti tude was so condescending toward women that it “converted me heart and soul to the ERA.” Book says Davis blackmail victim United Press International NEW YORK — Bette Davis’ first husband bugged their home, surprised her in bed with Howard Hughes and blackmailed her for $80,000, an unauthorized biogra phy of the actress says. In excerpts of “Bette: The Life of Bette Davis,” appearing next week in Us magazine, author Charles Hingham also said Joan Crawford was a lesbian who wooed Davis with perfume, flow ers and letters. “Crawford had for years nourished a secret desire for Bet te,” Higham writes. “No lovesick male in those happy, half- forgotten days when women were still wooed by men tried harder to seduce a beautiful woman than Crawford did in her pursuit of Davis.” Hingham said Davis spurned Crawford’s advances. But she fell madly in love with Hughes; handsome, overwhelm ingly wealthy and a great flier whose picture, “Hell’s Angels,” was the “ultimate in aviation Their romance was disrupted by her first husband. Ham Nel son, who rigged a recording sys tem in the walls of the house they shared and then eavesdropped from a sound truck parked on a side steet, the author claimed. Nelson “burst into the bed room” and caught Hughes and his wife together, Hingham said. The author said Hughes paid $70,000 and Davis paid $10,000. Then she reportedly borrowed enough money to repay Hughes his $70,(KX). Fire damage surveyed Guaranteed haircuts. \ AGGIES!
