Times Staf Writer 6 Part I Monday. September 24, 1984 I i The L.

A. County Pair Sept. 13 30 in Pomona Discount tickets available at Vons VASHI.GTO.-Dernocratic presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale, accepting an endorsement from the usually nonpartisan National Women's Political Caucus, said Sunday that President Reagan's reelection would mean a "scary, intolerant and dangerous future" in which the Rev. Jerry Falwell, leader of the Moral Majority, could select the next Supreme Court justices.

Mondale also repeated his plea to Reagan to call off the Republican hecklers that have been hounding the Democratic nominee and his running mate, Geraldine A. Ferra-ro. Rep. Tony Coelho (D-Merced) meanwhile suggested that the heckling is being orchestrated by Reagan campaign advisers Edward J. Rollins and Lyn Nofziger.

Although Mondale did not blame Reagan or his aides for the heckling, he added: "I do believe that Mr. Reagan could clarify this make a clear statement that he's opposed to this heckling just as I would do were he heckled." Mondale noted that the women's caucus was the second traditionally nonpartisan group to endorse him in the last week. On Wednesday, he received the backing of the Sierra Club. Kathy Wilson, who announced the endorsement by the women's organization at a joint press conference with Mondale after his weekly radio address, said that Mondale "stands tall" with women while Reagan "makes a habit of running over women." Forty percent of the 1 0AM-8PM BARKER BROS. DOWNTOWN LANDMARK CLOSING SALE! group's membership is Republican, including Wilson.

Despite such endorsements, polls indicate that Mondale is in danger of losing as much as 25 of the traditional Democratic vote to the President on Nov. 6. Reagan has recently tried to capitalize on Democratic defections by invoking the names of Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy in his campaign speeches.

In an effort to blunt Reagan's appeal among Democrats, Mondale reminded listeners to his weekly radio address that the Republicans are the party of Richard M. Nixon and Calvin Coolidge not Truman and Kennedy and accused Reagan of a "cynical rewrite of history." He noted that in 1960 Reagan headed a group known as Democrats for Nixon that tried to defeat Kennedy. Mondale called on the Democrats who are thinking of voting for Reagan to "take a second look" at the Republican Party before they vote. He recalled that when Reagan entered the White House in 1981, one of the first things he did was replace Truman's picture in the Cabinet Room with a portrait of Coolidge. Raises Questions "Do you really want to join a party that intends to put government between you and the most private choices of your life?" he asked.

"Do you really want women to be paid less than men for the same work? Do you really want politicians to write prayers for your children? Do you really want Jerry Falwell to pick the next two appointments to the Supreme Court? Do you really want to heat up the illegal war in Nicaragua? Do you really believe that America should set out to prevail in a nuclear war? "That's a scary, intolerant and dangerous future. If you cross over to (the) Republicans, that's what you get. You don't get just the balloons, the pep rallies and the happy talk. You get Falwell, Nicaragua and 'star wars' too." At a news conference, Mondale rejected a reporter's suggestion that his own campaign style was losing him votes. "I have no intention of being reprogrammed," he replied.

"I don't have public relations directors telling me how I should look, what I should do." 'They've Bragged About It' Appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," Coelho, who heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said he believes that Nofziger and Rollins are orchestrating the heckling of Mondale and Ferraro, even though the two Reagan campaign aides have denied any complicity. "They've bragged about it all over this town," Coelho said. Mondale "campaign chief James A. Johnson, who appeared on the same program with Coelho, said that while he does not know for certain that the hecklers are taking orders from the White House, the President "has an obligation to get to the bottom of it." "If there's any indication at all that people in his campaign were associated with it, he should take personal responsibility and see to it that it's stopped," Johnson said. MONDALE Continued from Page 1 odds are clearly against him.

By pointing to his weaknesses early in the general election campaign, aides said, Mondale hopes to be able to demonstrate a gradual improvement in his performance as the election approaches creating a sense of momentum. Already he is suggesting that his campaign has gained "clarity and strength" since the official kickoff three weeks ago. Yet this strategy also runs the risk of making him look like a complainer what some of his Republican opponents are calling a "whiner," or what Reagan prefers to call a "doomsayer." Even some of his own aides admit privately that Mondale did not look like a strong challenger Wednesday night when he suggested that the U.S. Secret Service was working against him by confiscating protest signs at Reagan rallies a charge hotly denied by members of the Secret Service. During the primary season, Mondale was at his best as a campaigner after his devastating surprise defeat in New Hampshire.

It was then that he assumed what his aides called his "Fighting Fritz" attitude, campaigning in his shirt sleeves and using such harsh words as "unstable" in referring to his opponent, Gary Hart. It was also in the period following the New Hampshire defeat that Mondale began borrowing a restaurant chain's advertising slo- Please see MONDALE, Page 7 EVERY ITEM AT LEAST OFF AND MORE FALL SALE 1 Large Towle Sil DISCOUNT CALCULATED FROM ORIGINAL PRICE FREE DELIVERY!
