2 WOMEN ENDORSED FOR VICE PRESIDENT A resolution endorsing Judge Sarah T. Hu-ghes of Dallas, Tex., for the Democratic nomination and Senator M argaret Chase Smith of Maine for second place on the Republican ticket was passed in Boston as the Federa tion of Business and Professional Women, which Judge Hughes heads, opened its eleventh bien nial convention at Symphony Hall. Judge Hughes said: “I am not so naive as to- believe that this year there wfll be a woman Vice President, but we must get into the arena.” The two women already had re ceived the support o'f the New York State Federation for the Vice-Presidential nominations. Dorothy Titchener of Bingham ton, N. Y., former president of the New York state organization, who is now conducting a cam paign for Judge Hughes and Sen ator Smith, said that they would be placed in nomination at the connveniions. Judge Hughes, in the keynote address, told the national federa tion : “Women have the right to vote, the right to serve on juries in all but six states and the legal right to hold public office, but even these gains do not make them full citizens. Their lack of real influ ence in government is demon strated by the few women holding public office.” “We care, but not enough,” she added, urging that women be come “full citizens” O'f the nation, not only in the privileges granted to them but in the use made of those privilege's. Criticizing women for their willingness to “situff letters and lick stamps in campaigns” rather than to seek public office, she de clared : “They have waited too long t'o be wooed, forgetting* that, in politics, every year is a leap year.” “All legal discrimination must be removed,” she said, advocating the passage of the equal rights amendment and its endorsement in the platforms of the two ma jor parties. She declared that although the platforms had previously included this endorsement, w'omen should not depend on party promises alone, but should actively cam paign by interviewing candidates and writing them letters. UNWLA SCHOLARSHIP AWARD TO DETROIT GIRL Olga Dubriwny Recipient of UNWLA scholarship Ukrainian Junior League of Detroit, Mich., Branch 58 o’f The Judge Hughes added that “plat forms of political parties are too frequently like street car plat forms — just something to get on and off of.” “Women must be accepted by men as full partners,” she said. To do this, she went on, they must create favorable public opinion on the contribution that women can make as “co-pilots” and not “back-seat drivers.” “Full citizenship includes daily practice of democratic principles,” she said, declaring that women must be vigilant and see thait me thods of totalitarian powers that ‘ stifle dissent and d^ki with our citizens in the fashion of a police state” are avoided.
