The hope is to get more women involved and help them be become come more effective once they're in public office. “Since it’s a new undertak undertaking ing they decided the first thing they should do is look at the women who are now elective officials and see how it happened, how they’re functioning and what they’re accomplishing.” The planning committee of 15 persons included only one other woman legislator and Mrs. Paulus discovered that those who haven’t run for of office fice are curious about those who have. “They wanted to know how we campaigned, what preju prejudice dice we encountered, how we got the money — all these things.” Committee members in included cluded the former vice chair chairman man of the Democratic Na National tional Committee, the chair chairman man of the Urban Coalition for New York City, the na national tional legislative vice presi president dent for the National Organi Organization zation for Women, and a pro professor fessor of political science from Mt. Holyoke College. “The really exciting thing about the meeting was that it was my first real involve involvement ment with ardent feminists. They were all very attrac attractive, tive, highly educated and very articulate. There was suoh dignity.” But Rep. Paulus found there was a “breach” when trying to explain practical politics. “They don’t understand that if I campaigned on a women’s liberation platform I’d never be elected. I tried to explain to this political science professor that I didn’t want people to vote for me, or against me, be because cause I was a woman but be because cause they thought I could do the job. “She was trying to tell me I I have an obligation to repre represent sent the feminist move movement.” ment.” Rep. Paulus grinned when She repeated the professor’s comment — “She said, ‘That’s the trouble with women. After they get elect elected ed they get in there and start acting like men.’ ” Oregon will really have three delegates to the May conference because the Sa lem woman lawyer has been invited to moderate a panel discussion. The two women to accompany Rep. Paulus have not yet been selected. “This is the first in a se series ries of such meetings. Later they may invite women may mayors, ors, members of planning commissions and city coun councils.” cils.” Rep. Paulus has some per personal sonal views on being a wom woman an in politics. “You get more publicity — just because you’re an oddi oddity. ty. But you have to be care careful ful of the type of coverage you receive. Of all the things I was concerned with last session — the paid toilet matter received the most news space.” The 38-year-old Willam Willamette ette Law School graduate also believes “there are only two ways for either a man or woman to be an effective freshman legislator. One is to belong to the majority party and the other is to be a lawyer.” The Eagleton conference, which is financed by a Car Carnegie negie grant, will include 60 women who have scored po political litical success by achieving election. Rep. Paulus is not certain that the research will demonstrate equal accom accomplishment plishment once in office. “I suspect they are going to be disappointed and that they’re going to find out most women are not particu particularly larly effective in the legisla legislature. ture. That’s due, partially, to the fact that most of them are older. The average age is about 60.” But Rep. Paulus is antici anticipating pating the meeting with her peers “The one thing I resented when I was at this July con conference ference with the men was that for a long time they thought my husband was the legislator. I really had to go out of my own state fo find the prejudice.”Rep.

I had volun volunteered teered to sponsor Common Cause’s legislation. But when I was appointed to this committee, I thought it was unethical to sponsor the bill. “My concern was about exemptions. I thought they would be worse than no bill at all ... I want to say again, I resent the actions of Common Cause.” Dolores Hurtado of Lake Oswego, cochairman of the policy advisory committee of Oregon Common Cause, said statements Rep. Paulus had made at earlier committee hearings had created fears that she opposed the bill. She expressed satisfaction that Rep. Paulus favored the proposal. Common Cause is a non nonpartisan partisan lobbying group. Meanwhile, the joint committee extensively re rewrote wrote the proposal, Senate Bill 15, and planned another public hearing on it on a date to be set later. One of the changes re removed moved a provision that would have made violations of the open meetings law a misdemeanor. Members of the committee decided in instead stead to provide for civil penalties. Sen. Fred Heard, D-Klamath Falls, noted this made an easier burden of proof for persons who brought legal action against a public agency that held illegal executive sessions. The committee also moved to forbid executive sessions held via telephone or other electronic means. Witnesses have testified that some public bodies frequent frequently ly make decisions on the telephone, then ratify them at subsequent public meet meetings. ings. Ihe committee eliminated a section that would have required publication of min minutes utes of executive sessions.

Norma Paulus said Friday that she plans to try to stop stores from limit limiting ing the number of children allowed inside at one time. The issue arose when Mrs. Paulus was told that a Circle K Market at 3185 River Road N had a sign in its window limiting the number of children allowed in the store at one time to two.

Mrs. Paulus is a Salem attorney and the wife of attorney William Pau Paulus. lus. manager Darrell Pasbrig told The Statesman Friday that the main reason the chain limits the number of children is to gain some con control trol over the shoplifting problem. BUT MRS. PAULUS said that such rules “presuppose that all children are thieves, and I find that an outrageous assumption on the part of any merchant. I consider it a poor solution to the shop shoplifting lifting problem.” Mrs. Paulus said she will appear before a committee considering legislation on public accommodations to submit an amendment that would stop the limiting prac practice. tice. The law presently does not prevent limiting. PASBRIG TOLD The States Statesman, man, “We have no set policy as to the number of kids who can be in a store at one time. We have not author authorized ized the use of signs.” Telephone conversations with operators of two of the 13 Circle K markets in the Salem area bear him out. An operator at a market on State Street where one sign describes it as a “School Supply Headquar Headquarters,” ters,” said that four young youngsters sters are allowed in the store if one person is on duty and eight are allowed if two are on duty. THIS STORE DOES not have a sign announcing the limita limitations. tions. Nor does the Circle K on Chemawa Road, where the person on duty said he has an arrangement with the children under which three are allowed inside at one time. “Why do children have to line up to get on a bus? It is a matter of order. This is the same principle. If they are not lined up outside the store they’ll have to be lined up inside. “With children that’causes too much noise and too much confusion.” A sampling of policies at stores in the Plaid Pantry chain indicates that the number of children allowed inside at one time is not lim limited. ited.

The House of Representatives passed the resolution Thursday by a vote of 50 to 9. The Amendment prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sex, and needs approval of 38 state legislatures for ratification. The floor debate over the ERA was the longest and most heated of this session. Seven of the 11 women representatives spoke in favor of the amendment. Ail opposing speakers were men. Norma Paulus, R-Salem, said she was concerned about the way the government looked at women. “The next time the Supreme Court looks at the word ‘person’ it will know that it includes me as a woman," she said. Paulus also answered the charge that the ERA would subject women to the draft: “1 can’t for the life of me see why my son’s duty to the country is greater than that of my daughter’s." Vera Katz, D-Portland, said that the ERA was not to protect women, but to secure their just rights: “twenty states prohibit the employment of women in occupations that are open to men.” Majority leader Les Aucoin, D-Forest - Tn o- O CD P,3-S 3 d?

"Paternal condescension has always been the biggest obstacle to human rights,” he said. Roger Martin, R-Oswego, talked about the separate restroom issue: “my duty is to talk about restrooms. I contacted four major oil companies and asked them if the ERA passes, would they build new filling stations with just one restroom? After 1 convinced them that 1 was serious they said no, they would not build new stations.” Rep. Sidney Bazett, R-Grants Pass, was in the opposition when he read a quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche sayingthat women were made.by God to get rid of boredom. He also said that if the ERA passed, the state would have to pass 75 new laws. Rep. Paul Hanneman, R-Cloverdale, was also opposed to the ERA. “The ERA does just the opposite of all the things we have been so proud of. . . it promotes sameness between the sexes and the states. 1 still prefer to see the Mrs. and the wife taking the name of the husband. That is the way America became the way it is,” he said. Rep. Mary Roberts, D-Portland, answered Hanneman: “1 must state that 1 do not define myself as a lady in terms of Mrs. 1 am a Ms. and also a Miss. 1 do not detine myself in terms of a relationship to a man, but as a person who prefers equal rights to politeness." The final vote was 50 for, 9 against with one representative excused (Ragsdale) Voting against the amendment were: Rep. Sidney Bazett, Rep. Bernard Byers, Rep. Jeff Gilmour, Rep. Paul Hanneman. Rep.

(Story olso on page 1.) The apparent end of the Vietnam war drew praise for President Nixon from Oregon legislative leaders Wednesday, mixed with some criticism of America’s involvement in the war. Senate President Jason Boe, D-Reedsport, congratu- lated Nixon “for writing what appears to be the ffhal chapter of the most bloody and wasteful decade in this nation’s history. “I AM OPTIMISTIC that Congress, steeped now in the wisdom of its errors, will move more vigorously to reclaim its historical and constitutional duties as the final arbiter on matters of war,” Boe said. Senate Republican leader Victor Atiyeh, Beaverton, said the credit for ending the war goes to Nixon and to all Americans, both the “impatient and the re restrained strained who pursued differ different ent paths to the same goal.” “The President achieved the greatest of man’s goals - peace,” said House GOP leader Gordon Macpherson, Waldport, who moved to in- troduce in the House a reso resolution lution praising Nixon.

George Churchill, director of the Willamette River Parks System, told the board ot three houseboats he had personally noted in the Wil Willamette lamette River between Wil- senviile and Portland.

In other action, the board agreed to work with Rep Norma Paulus, R-Salem, in her efforts to develop a com compromise promise on acquisition of farmland for the Willamette River Greenway. ., Pe P- Paulus has proposed that the state acquire scenic easements, instead of pur purchasing chasing the farmland and possibly taking it out of use tor agriculture. Gov. McCall said he was willing to see if a comprom ise could be reached, but said that it was the original intent of the greenway con concept cept that the state’s condem condemnation nation powers would have to be used if the greenway was to be established. There is considerable con controversy troversy in the Legislature over whether the greenway legislation permits condem condemnation nation and whether it should be permitted for farmland. Rep.
