and overall fine floor play. He has

ing up scoring opportunities by his
fine passing to teammates.

Club Women
Speaking for the League Of
Women Voters of the United
States, an organization which
does much to disseminate
voter information, Mrs. Luigi
Petrullo of Arlington, a mem
Der of the national board,
had this to say:
"At this stage, I think
many women in the country
haven't made up their minds
and the TV debates will be
effective in helping them to
do that. I suspect there will be
some who will be swayed by
personality but don't think

Do Women Vote for People or Issues?

"Television is the only oppor-
tunity to see the candidates
unless you go to a rally" she
pointed out. 1T also helps
to answer the natural curl
oSity all women have about
people in public life. The
more you see the candidate
the better the opportunity to
make up your mind. And
I'd rather see 'em than read
about EN-"
At Work
A Government girl and a
native Washingtonian, Miss
Elizabeth Slattery, expressed
her opinion with a well turned
phrase.
"It shouldn't make much
difference to a woman voter
if a TV closeup shows a
shadowy chin or a charming,
grim" said Miss Slattery
who is with the information
division of the Federal Trade
Commission. More seriously
she added that when she's
looking at the debates she'll
be thinking that 1.-The man
ner in which a candidate
conducts himself in debat-
ing before the television
camera might be similar to
that which he would use at
the conference table,"
A woman business execu-
tive pointed to women's "eye-
and-ear mindedness" as a
strong point in favor of the
debates as an influential fac
tor in the votes cast at the
November polls. Miss Mary
Bourke, president of the
Lewis Hotel Training School,
and local civic leader, said
she felt the candidates per
sonality and delivery of the
issues and their attitudes
toward them would have a
great deal of influence with
women"
Miss Bourke added that
she felt that whereas men
get as much out of reading
about the issues as seeing
them debated on TV," that
women on the other hand
"are more adaptable to the
information they would get
on TV than if they read
about the same subject in
a magazine"
So there it is-what the
women think. Even though it
represents a small percent
age of their opinion, there's
no doubt that come Novem-
Der the women'S vote will be
backed by some very deep
elaboration.

When it comes to electing
a President, are women
swayed by personalities or
the issues?
With the first of the tele-
vision and radio debates be-
tween Vice President Richard
M. Nixon and Senator John
F. Kennedy slated for Sep
TENDER 26, The Star made
an informal poll to find out
how women think the debates
will affect the women'S vote.
Opinions expressed by 10
women from various fields of
interest were pretty evenly
divided three ways-those
who felt personality held the
upper hand; those who
thought it boiled right down
to the issues, and those who
maintained it was a combi-
nation of both-how well the
candidate conducted himself
and how effectively he
pleaded his case.
All Of those interviewed
a lawyer, a business execu-
tive. two famous society
shostesses, a Government girl,
two clubwomen. two home
makers and a college student
conceded the debates would
affect the women's vote, if
not all voters. Only the vote
less residents of the District,
lamented one, would have to
be content with speculation
alone.
Reactions to the idea of
the debates themselves were
also varied. One well known
hostess predicted they would
"be the best entertainment
we've had in years." The col
lege student took a more aca-
demic view, predicting that
the debates would "set a prec-
edent as a substitute for the
whistle-stop campaigning of
the past"

however, that she thought

clined to consider the candi-

of being cynical, she declared,
II think personal economic
advantage is a basic factor in
the voters support of a can
didate or party"
At Home
A homemaker felt it all
depended on "how strongly
the issues are presented"
1T depends on how wildly
the candidates differ on the
issues during the debates,
commended Mrs. Robert Jen-
sen. If they fail to show any
strong differences on issues
that have strong appeal to
the people and just stick to
political technicalities, then I
think people will be inclined
to vote on personalities"
The homemaker added that
she felt that personalities do
play an important role in po-
litical campaigns, but that
people don't like to recog-
nize it-anymore than they
want to admit religion is a
campaign iSsue-becauSe they
dislike admitting they can be
influenced emotionally."
Mrs. Jensen also threw
out the tantalizing conjecture
that the debates might pre-
sent a hazard to the candi-
dates. "One false move by
either one such as a slip of
the tongue" she said. could
lower his rating at the polls"
Another homemaker who
also works as a public rela-
tons conSultant, Mrs. Jewett
o. Phillips, jr., said she also
felt the debates will make "a
tremendous difference" in the
voters choice in November.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-09-11

up with the prediction the
debates may foreshadow a
new trend in politicking that
som day m ay replace
whistle-stopping because
bringing politics into the
home through television
reaches a greater public"
Miss Undertake also said
she felt that the idea of
having the debates itself
indicates a trend away from
voting for personalities and
toward voting on the issues.
The placing of issues before
the public Gin such a direct
way-having the men talk to
each other" she thinks, sis
new and beneficial"
With some polls indicating
q neck-to-neck race, "a small
percentage Of the uncom-
rnitted' vote could very easily

Elizabeth Edward, a lawyer

Agency.
where two candidates are
well qualified-as are both of
these" she further commended,
"a side-by-side comparison of
the relative merits of each
can be the determinative fac
tor"
Miss Edward said this
method of comparison is often
applied in selecting the bet
ter" fur coat, the better"
gem or the better" student.
The woman lawyer added
that she was mot persuaded
that the woman'S vote" is
influenced by factors different
from those which influence
the general vote. "At the risk

man who is picking the fe-

of the famed Lovelace Foun-

But he did confess with a
grin, That's a hazardous
way to do it,"
Some day there will be

there's no reason why women
won't be there too," said DR..
Randy Lovelace at a dinner
party given in Albuquerque
by his uncle and distinguished
founder of the clinic, DR.. VIII
liam r. Lovelace.
But the hardshipS involved
in opening up this new
frontier mean that the mSh
will at first outnumber the
women, just as they did when
this country was settled, he
explained. Hence there won't
be enough women to go
around.

up within a year." he said,
''but the Russians will be able
to send two men or a man
and a woman because they
have developed the bigger
thrust" for their satellites.
This country could have done
it, too. he said, except that
we work eight hours a day
and the Russians work
"a in three eight-hour shifts.
I'D hate to be the wife of
a male astronaut and see my
husband take off in a space
capsule with a female astro-
naut." said I.
The attractive doctor
grinned again. I'VE plan to
send up unmarried astronauts
of both sexes" he promised.
Obviously the clinic is not in
the homewrecking business.

that women are persuaded

it's less true today. Women
are interested in what affects
their living, and the peace
and security of the Nation.
They want to know how the
candidates stand on the
public issues, on international
affairs and foreign policy"
Mrs. Ozbirn added that she
thought the debates would
be more Of an influential
rather than a decisive factor
in the elections. She said she
thought the women in her
organization would do their

ing the information they got
from the TV debates with
what they read in the news
