| Transcript | DAY CARE Recently, four pold-plated faucets with crystal handles were installed in the Texas Senate ladies' lounge. The remodeling also included the installation of antique chandeliers, velvet couches, a bed, and gold carpeting. The cost was $15,000. Naturally, all this was done in anticipation of an influx of women senators in coming years, but since there is only one woman senator at present. Senator Barbara Jordan of Houston, perhaps the money could have been spent a little more wisely. Fifteen thousand dollars would provide one year of quality day care for seven to ten children. LEGISLATION TO WATCH — S.31 Senator Nelson's bill to provide during times of high unemployment for public service employment for unemployed persons. In November, 1970, the unemployment rate for women 20 years of age and over was 5.5% as compared to 4.2% for men. WRITE AND ASK THAT A PROVISION BE INCLUDED TO PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION ON ACCOUNT OF SEX IN TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT. S. 300 Senator Edward. Kennedy's bill to establish the birthplace of Susan B. Anthony in Adams, Massachusetts, as a national historic site. H.R. 1746 Augustus Hawkins' bill to further promote equal employment opportunities for American workers. H.R. 916 Albert Mikva's bill, The Woman's Equality Act of 1971 to carry out President's Task Force Report on Women's Rights and Responsibilities. Women's liberation is men's liberation, too. No more alimony, fewer boring wives, fewer childlike wives, no more so-called "Jewish Mothers" who are simply normally ambitious human beings with all their ambi- tiousness confined to the house, no more wives who fall apart with the first wrinkle because they've been taught their total identity depends on their outside, no more responsibility for another human being who has never been told she is responsible for her own life, and who sooner or later says some version of"If I hadn't married you, I could have been a star." And let's hear it one more time, no more alimony. Gloria Steinem, at Vassar College commencement, 1970 COMMUNISTS &CATHOLICS AGREE?? The Italian Communist Party and the Pope agree. Abortion should not be legal. II Movimento di Libera- zione della Donna (Women's Lib in Italian) is holding its first nation- al congress in Rome.
