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.”

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

was the “ultimate in aviation

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.

enough money to repay Hughes

Mark Janicki sifts through the ruins of his
Cripple Creek apartment which was
destroyed by fire Saturday. Janicki, a civil
engineering major, and his three room
mates were not at home when the blaze
broke out. They lost almost everything in
their apartment to the fire. John Schmid,
executive vice president of Metro Proper
ties, which owns Cripple Creek, said the
College Station fire marshall attributed the
fire to a cigarette butt smoldering on an I
upholstered chair. But Janicki said then |
