8 ITHACA JOURNAL Monday, July 12, 1976 Issue Both Equality and 'Quotas' Still in Race, Says Brown 1 iif7W children who seemed especially angered by the issue 'he 1976 Platform deals with it rather succinctly: "We fully recognize the religious and ethical nature of the concerns which many Americans have on the subject of abortion. We feel, however, that it is undesirable to attempt to amend the U.S. Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court decision in this area." Gay Liberation also had a parade-demonstration on Sunday. The platform does not get into that question at all. 0 0 0 In the evening, the women met again at Lincoln Center.

Although Carter did not appear as had been announced, it was said that his wife, Rosalyn, did. No one could say for sure that she'd been seen, though. The All party was sponsored by the National Women's Political Caucus's Democratic Task Force and the Democratic Women's Agenda. Jean Angell is one of the sponsors. The place was altogether filled with celebrities.

Delegates often approached celebrities for autographs. When Averell Harriman passed through, ready to leave, one hoped he would be left alone. He signed many autographs. Outside, a band played by the fountain, and a hot and smokv city escaped into the foyer of the opera house. Everyone crushed together and drinks were tumbled onto the bright red carpets and cigarettes were crushed into that.

At such moments, it seemed as if New York was getting the worst of things. Brown, who now has 302 delegates according to The Associated. Press' tally, did not say if he would leave his name in contention after the balloting begins. Carter now holds 1,653 delegate votes, more than the 1,505 he needs fo the nomination. But Brown supporters indicated he would withdraw his name at some point during the balloting.

Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) said before Brown arrived that the California governor would allow his name to be placed in nomination. "But then I would not be surprised if he released all his delegates right afterward," the junior senator from Brown's home state said. Others close to Brown indicated he might pull his name off the ballot before Carter reaches the magic 1,505 figure, perhaps throwing his votes to Carter and putting him over the majority mark. Despite the continuation of his late-starting presidential bid, Brown repeated his assurance that he will work for Carter when he becomes the nominee.

In reponse to a reporter's question, Brown said: "Sure wherever I can help the Democratic party win in November is exactly what I'm prepared to do." NEW YORK (AP) California Gov. Edmund G. Brown, the last remaining challenger to Jimmy Carter's claim on the Democratic presidential nomination, says he's staying in the race even though his defeat is virtually certain. Arriving in New York with his home state delegation Sun day, Brown said his name will entered for consideration when balloting for a nominee begins Wednesday night. But there were indica Brown tions he would withdraw it before the roll call ends.

And he left no doubt he would work to put Carter in the White House. Some of Brown's supporters in the California delegation said they were ready to help nominate Carter and then work for his election. "My name will be in nomination," Brown told reporters at John F. Kennedy Airport. "I don't think it's appropriate just to walk away because the process is rather inevitable.

"If you embark upon a campaign, people work very hard for you. Just to walk away from them isn't my idea of the Democratic party as I know it." Carter, Women Meet; No Accord on Quotas Jimmy Carter, his wife, Rosalynn, and daughter, Amy, pose before a model of the White House during a fund-raising dinner at Rockefeller Plaza Sunday. Carter's Backers Are All Over Town Race Was Worth It, Says Relaxed Udall Continued from Page 1 The issue is both equality and "quotas," a word that is particularly anathema to Carter people and most Democrats who have sour memories of Miami in 1972. 0 0 At a Sunday afternoon meeting at the Statler Hilton, Mrs. Abzug reported favorably on an earlier conversation with Carter, referring to the Georgian as "Governor "President Carter," "candidate Carter" and some subjective variations.

The crowd seemed stirred merely at the sight of her most familiar floppy hat, and she got laughter and applause with statements like this: "No one ever said that God was setting up a quota system in creating man and woman in equal numbers." later, at Lincoln Center, she embroidered that a bit tq say that Carter "believes God did right and he approves of it." Mrs. Abzug seemed in tune with a perceptible mood of skepticism and optimism. She reported that Carter favored full equality for women, did not favor out-and-out quotas, and was working on some "language" to resolve it all. Demonstrations filled the streets here on Sunday. A group protesting abortion marched down Broadway to Madison Square Garden, people of all ages, mostly visibly young She 'Likes' The GOP By CAROL RICHARDS Gannett News Service NEW YORK "Republican conventions are much better for hookers," said prostitute spokeswoman Margo St.

James. "Democrats don't have much money. They're like a bunch of animals running around." She paused for a moment, reconsidered and amended her assessment: "They're like a bunch of Shriners." St. James, organizer of COYOTE, the self-labelled "loose women's organization" seeking decriminalization of prostitution had helped wrap up a 90-minute rally sponsored by the National Organization of Women. The rally had ended with St.

James and feminist lawyer Flo Kennedy of New York and NOW President Karen DeCrow lustily singing several choruses of "Everybody Needs a Hooker Once in a While." The rally began several hours earlier on a more somber note. Led by women dressed as suffragettes, a crowd of about 400, comprised mostly of women, marched from First Avenue to the Post Office at 31st and Eighth Avenue across from Madison Square Garden, site of the Democratic National Convention. The rally was held in an attempt to win support for the Equal Rights Amendment, full employment, child care subsidies and "the right of sexual preference." "The sleeping Democrats don't know what's happening," said DeCrow, complaining about the absence of a Gay Rights plank in the Democratic platform and the rejection by the Democratic Rules Committee of a plan to guarantee women equal representation in future conventions. enough votes to defeat them. "When the American people look at the Democratic Party this week, they would like to hear some discussion of issues," said Billie Carr, a national committeewoman from Texas and veteran liberal reformer.

The convention is scheduled to take up the minority report on equal representation for women Thursday afternoon, just before the nomination of a vice president. Since this issue directly involves the 34 per cent of the delegates who are women, a floor fight could seriously disrupt the smooth flow of what is expected to be a placid convention. The party rules call for the state parties to promote equal representation for women at the 1980 convention. The minority report, filed by two women Carter delegates," would mandate that the 1980 delegation be equally divided. The compromise rejected Sunday by Carter left out the 50-50 requirement, but would have put the national committee on record behind equal representation.

Steinem said the women's call for equal representation shouldn't be considered a call for a quota system. "Calling that a quota is Bull she said. "He calls it that because he doesn't like it." Following the meeting, some of the 75 participants, which included delegates and non-delegates, reported to an ad hoc caucus of women delegates. Carter's rejection of the compromise inspired some grumbles, and several hundred cheered and whooped when Karen DeCrow of Syracuse, N.Y., president of the National Organization of Women (NOW) declared that "Nothing but SO-SO representation will be satisfactory to the Women's Caucus. By CAROL R.

RICHARDS And PETER BEHR Gannett News Service NEW YORK Jimmy Carter failed Sunday to reach a compromise with women delegates over equal representation at future conventions, raising the possibility that a bitter rules fight might interrupt the scheduled nomination of a vice presidential candidate Thursday afternoon. After an hour-long meeting with about 75 feminists, elected women officials and female Carter workers, the former Georgia governor slipped out a side door, leaving spokeswomen to explain that he had rejected a proposed compromise because he opposed "mandatory quotas." The women's response to Carter ranged from Rep. Bella Abzug's conciliatory "it was a very positive first meeting to feminist Gloria Steinem's angry "Bull Carter was scheduled to meet behind closed doors with a smaller women's group today in an attempt to reach compromise language he can accept. The women were among outnumbered reform Democrats who won't give up their plans to upset a bit of the convention's carefully-forged harmony by forcing votes on some procedural issues. Members of Carter's campaign staff were also unsuccessful Sunday in trying to reach a compromise with the New Democratic Coalition and the Party Rules Caucus on easing requirements to open debate on issues before the convention and on the makeup of a Midterm Conference in 1978.

Although more meetings are scheduled with them today, the reformers seem determined to reject compromise and speak their piece, acknowledging that Carter's forces have more than Lv To DevelOD the NEW YORK (AP) Shoes kicked off, feet on the coffee table, Mo Udall seemed remarkably at peace and not all that unhappy for a man who had lost his 20-month quest to become president of the United States. Jimmy Carter, the man he could never quite beat in a primary election, was on the television. "Turn the volume down on Jimmy, I've heard him before." the Arizona congressman said in a resigned, but not bitter, voice. It was Sunday, the last day before the Democratic National Convention met to nominate Carter, but Morris K. Udall, far behind the former Georgia governor in the delegate race, went through the paces of an active candidate, and repeatedly refused to release his delegates before he is nominated.

First, there was a series of interviews in his hotel room, called, by wry coincidence, the "Thomas E. Dewey Suite" af BARBARA JORDAN She Will Attract Attention By CHARLES OVERBY Gannett News Service WASHINGTON As mid-light approaches today, thousands perhaps millions of television viewers will have dozed off to the endless droning of speeches before the Democratic National Convention. At about 1 1 15. many of those viewers will be awakened by a rapid-fire procession of words that sound like they're coming from General Patton. Barbara Jordan will have begun her keynote address.

And people around the country are likely to do what many have been doing in Texas since 1967 and on Capitol Hill since 1972 sitting up and taking notice of this congresswoman who has emerged as the most nationally influential Democrat from Texas since Lyndon Johnson. 0 0 0 No matter how much people rave about her quick mind or her penchant for hard work and dilligent preparation, the thing that creates the strongest, most immediate and most lasting impression is her physical presence. Possessed of a powerful speaking voice, she is tall and hefty, creating an impression that tends to put her on an equal footing with her bass-toned male colleagues. A Texas lobbyist described her for Texas Monthly magazine as "a big black woman who looks like she might be God, if God turns out to be a black But what makes her a political power, both in Texas and nationwide, is her grasp of personal politics. She is as comfortable with George Mahon, the conservative chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, as she is with Shirley Chisholm of New York, the other black woman in Congress.

She soft-pedals heavy ideology and seems to adapt well to the advice of the late Speaker Sam Rayburn. who always told younger members. "You have to go along to get along." 0 0 0 Highly ambitious, she was elected to the 31-member state Senate at 31 and four years later was elected president pro tempore. Two years later she jumped to the House of Representatives, and since then she has wielded her influence in the House Steering and Policy Committee and in the Judiciary Committee. In the latter spot, she gained national attention for her precise rhetorical style during Richard Nixon's impeachment hearings.

Attracting attention without being blatant about it seems to fit Jordan's style. Her keynote address should prove no exception. 0 i i a I i ter the late New York governor who also lost a presidential campaign. During one interview, he said two problems too many liberal candidates and not enough federal money plagued his campaign. "There were too many candidates on the liberal side for too long." he said, and this forced a division of their strength.

In addition, he said, the Supreme Court decision that held up distribution of federal funds to presidential campaigns during a crucial period in the primary season was critical. But. he said, the race was well worth the effort and the approximately $5 million spent on his campaign. "The platform represents 95 per cent of what I was talking about." he said. "My stature has been enhanced nationally.

I had an opportunity that comes to few people. "I played my role with grace and dignity. We ran a good race and came close and I'm proud of it." have a tough delegation, and don't underestimate it." Vanden Heuvel said he had promised Carter before the primary season began that New York would deliver more votes for him than any other single state. The "whips," directed by Rochester attorney Thomas A. Fink, 41.

were armed with tally sheets and background cards on each of the delegates they were assigned. The first indication of how large the anti-Carter bloc will remain in the state will come late this afternoon, when the state delegation holds its first caucus. By then. Fink said, he wanted the Carter "whips" to determine "how strong and how deep" the Carter opposition is in the New York delegation. Besides the Udall and Jackson holdouts, there were reports that several delegates were considering voting for California Gov.

Edmund Brown Jr. Carter 'Whips' Busy TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION Program TO' MMahheSi FREE COLOR PANEL DISCUSSION 8 pm TUESDAY W0MEN'S COMMUNITY (Jul, 13) BLDG. 100 W. SENECA 277-01 1 1 NEW YORK (AP) Jimmy Carter's believers were waiting for him all over town. Some believed before most Democrats heard of Jimmy Carter.

Others needed more time and got run over by his bandwagon before jumping on it. Sen. Frank Church, who tried to be where Carter is, and Sen. Adlai Stevenson, once a favorite-son candidate from Illinois, waited for audiences today with Carter. They are the last of seven persons Carter is interviewing before he selects his vice presidential running mate.

Some of the faithful waited in a church on a sunny Sunday, when a black Baptist minister addressed the expected nominee as "President Carter," well before the casting of an election or nominating ballot. Chosen delegates waited by the hot and steamy Hudson River to share with him a southern dinner of fried chicken and beer. Chosen contributors waited among the bubbling fountains of Rockefeller Plaza to join him in a dinner of salmon and shrimp and wine. Others, by the hundreds, waited for the potluck chance of shaking his hand at his red-; carpet, mid-Manhattan hotel. Carter set aside time today to polish the speech he'll make Thursday night when the Demo-cratic National Convention takes the step that is a foregone conclusion and nominates him for president.

On Sunday afternoon, Carter sandwiched a vice presidential interview with Rep. Peter Rodino of New Jersey among the hymns and hoopla of his first day in New York. He said Rodino, who became something of a Watergate hero for presiding over impeachment hearings in 1973, is personally compatible and competent to assume the presidency. Carter earlier had similar meetings with Sens. Edmund Muskie of Maine.

John Glenn of Ohio, Walter Mondale of Minnesota and Henry Jackson of Washington, and had made similar comments afterward. He made room for some Tensions By HAMILTON E. DAVIS Gannett News Service NEW YORK The tensions and hostility that have pervaded the past two Democratic national conventions were absent here Sunday. Madison Square Garden was ringed with low grey police barriers. Two large groups, a coalition of homosexual activists and a number of anti-abortion activists, held demonstrations, but it all was peaceful and relatively quiet.

No one was hurt and no one was arrested. "The sting is gone," said a New York police inspector who was working on the Eighth Avenue side of the "There is no major issue now," he said, adding: "Thank God." The police department deployed about 1,500 men around the Garden and in the convention area, but the knots of patrolem stationed at intersections spent much of the afternoon lolling in the sun and chatting with each other and passersby. The rest of the week promises to be more of the same, meaning that the expected tranquility inside the hall of a Jimmy Carter nomination and a settled platform probably will be matched outside, even though a variety of groups have scheduled marches or demonstrations this week. Besides supporters of the gays and anti-abortionists, groups that hope to dramatize their issues before the delegates include the Friends of the more guesswork about his vice presidential choice. On the NBC program "Meet the Press." Carter said he has "maintained an open mind deliberately until after all the interviews are over." Then Sunday night, with two still to go, he said there are three names topping his list.

Carter started his Sunday with the ecumenical service in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, where six Baptist ministers prayed and preached and sang. The Rev. Kenneth L. Folkes. of the Mt.

Carmel Baptist Church in New York, said he hoped "President Carter" would remember that unemployment in big cities is substantially higher than the national average. After church, Carter headed for a brunch for Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss at "21," another New York landmark, and from there to the NBC studios for the television interview. After that he met with members of the Women's Caucus and said he favors equality among the sexes but doesn't wsnt to force quotas of women convention delegates. Just before dusk he was back at Rockefeller Center for the more elegant of the feedings of the faithful. While contributors and Democratic office holders drank wine punch and munched salmon and raspberries.

Carter's 8-year-old daugher. Amy, found a plaster model of the White House and exclaimed. "Hey. Daddy, look at what I found." A little later on. Amy upstaged her father again at Pier 88 by announcing she had but four pages to go on the "Wizard of Oz." which she brought along from Georgia.

The atmosphere was less restrained, as the menu of cole slaw and chicken was less choosy. Carter ignored the band and balloons and tinsel and mummers and concentrated instead on smiling and kissing cheeks and shaking hands at a pace by a reporter's count that rarely fell below two dozen a minute. And then he rested. Are Gone Earth, the Yippies, a stop-the-Equal Rights Amendment group, the North Carolina Migrant Laborers, the Manhattan Church of the Nazarene. City University of New York students, the Committee for Cyprus, the Liberation Party, the International Committee Against Racism, the Downstate Medical Center, and the New York City Unemployed Council.

The noisiest demonstration was held by about 1.000 gay activists, who listened to a number of speakers call for an end to laws outlawing homosexual practices. Madeline Davis of Buffalo, described as a lesbian feminist, singer, and songwriter, appeared to speak for the group when she said: "I don't wanttd have to be afraid of going to jail for being in love and doing something about it." Also marching with the gay groups was Werner H. Kramarsky, head of the Human Rights Commission of New York State. He said that as a politician, he was appalled that Democrats and Republicans alike would ignore a group of their constituents who comprise 10 per cent of the population. He sid he was not ready to permit politicians to determine what kind of sexual behavior is right and what is wrong.

"The polls in this state and in the country show that the country wants gay rights," he said. Kramarsky said later he was not gay. but that he believed in the cause. By JOHN OMICINSKI Gannett News Service NEW YORK Jimmy Carter's forces in the New York delegation Sunday night plotted strategy to try to win over delegates still holding out against the Georgian. About 20 Carter "whips." all of them delegates who were among the nucleus of only 33 that the candidate won outright in the April 6 primary, were assigned to concentrate on the New Yo; rk delegates still supporting either Arizona Rep.

Morris K. Udall or Washington Sen. Henry M. Jackson. Carter's organization believes that about 95 of the state's 274 delegate votes still are in the Udall and Jackson camps.
