Women recognized
as political force

United Press International
, TULSA, Okla.— National
■/omen’s rights leader Judy
| Goldsmith says women voters
! tave forced lawmakers to view
| hem as a political force “to be
eckoned with” and that is the
dge needed for passage of the
| >qual Rights Arhendment.
“We are getting more women
uvolved in all phases, notjust on
he sidelines,” Goldsmith, presi-
lent of the National Organiza-
! ion for Women, said Friday.
“What’s happening is that
vomen now are clearly a politic-
[ il force that has to be reckoned
vith,” she said. “The message
has gotten through.”
Women, “angry and out
raged” at failure on national and
state levels to ratify the ERA,
have become more active in the
battle for its passage, said Gold
smith, who was in Tulsa for the
Oklahoma NOW group’s
weekend state conference.
“We have changed the com
position of the legislatures that
defeated the Equal Rights
Amendment,” she said.
The national women’s rights
leader said that failure to ratify
the ERA before last year’s dead
line was not a defeat of the issue.
“It was not a loss. It was not a

lure of the political processes of
this country.”
If lawmakers had voted in line
with majority opinion, she con
tended, the amendment would
have been ratified.
“Political support in Congress
for the Equal Rights Amend
ment is extremely strong (this
session),” she said, “Primarily
coming from the Democrats
who have taken custody of the
issue. “But there is also some Re
publican support.”
Goldsmith took over as head
of the national women’s rights
organization last October.

ed “Charles Starkweather,” stag
ing neighborhood manhunts in
their own version of cops and
robbers.
The rampage was the subject
of the 1970s movie “Badlands.”
It all started Dec. 1, 1957, in
Lincoln when Starkweather shot
and killed service station atten
dant Robert Colvert, 21, during
a robbery.
Then, in an eight-day period
beginning Jan. 21, 1958, Stark
weather, accompanied by his
girlfriend, 14, Caril Ann Fugate
of Lincoln, left a bloody trail of
nine victims in Nebraska and
one in Wyoming. They included
Fugate’s mother, stepfather and
stepsister.
Starkweather and Fugate
each were convicted of first-
degree murder in the death of
Bobby Jensen, 17, of Bennet.
Starkweather died in Nebraska’s
electric chair in June 1959, the
last execution in the state.
Fugate was sentenced to life
in prison. In 1973, her sentence
was commuted to 30 to 50 years
and three years later she was
paroled to start a new life in a
small Michigan town.
In Bennet, 16 miles southeast
of Lincoln, memories linger of
Bobby Jensen and two others
who were among Starkweather’s
victims. The others were August
Meyer, 70, a farmer who was a
friend of Starkweather’s father,
and Jensen’s sweetheart Carol
King, 16.
Mayor Ab Jensen has lived in
or near Bennet all his life. He
and his wife Ruth were reluctant
to talk publicly about Stark
weather for fear it would renew'
unwanted publicity.
August Meyer was first cousin
of the mayor’s mother. Bobby
Jensen was related to the
mayor’s wife.
“Whenever you needed help,
August was there,” Jensen said.
He said Meyer kept his farm up
better than many state parks at
that time and took pride in his
work, which included bringing
neatly stacked Firewood to Ben
net by a horse-drawn cart.
“They were two kids you
couldn’t help but like,” Jensen
said of Carol King and Bobby
Jensen, whom neighbors de
scribed as All-American teena
gers.
