California Aisemhlyman Kenneth Middy, speaking at CSUF
ye.terday, mK) that 'the Call-
fornl. leti.laiure should betin
right now 10 alter the laws which
discriminate against women,
without waiting for the ERA
(Equal nights Amendment) to be
ratified by the necessary 31
states.*
■Irs been estliraied.- Maddy
said, 'that passage of Ihe ERA
will mean lhal 1.000V.S. law. and
IB'> California taws will have lo
be changed.*
Maddy said the California legislature has scheduled committee
hearings during lis interim recess (September - January) tn in
'.xt.ii.lve reaorcn Into which
hw. will hav. 10 be changed. lie
added thai two lawa, one dealing
With Child custody .nd another
with s woman', right to establish
her own domlclla, hav. already
been amended.
Also, he said. Assemblywoman
Yvonne Bralihewalte Burke Is
working on legislation to end .ex.
ual discrimination by universities-
■She Introduced similar legislation last year.* he said, -but It
failed because she triad lo establish a quota system 1 don't think
ihe legislature can or should
mandate quotas by law.*
Maddy said that if ihe ERA I.
ratified, California's welfare
regulations, custody rules, pro-
bale   and   community property
lawa atu .11 have to b* reavaln-
atad.
If tha amendment passes, according to Maddy. It will t.k. two
years lo go Into .ifacl. ■And
even then.* he said. -It Will after! only Mat. government organizations, not private employment.*
Maddy siressed lhat lh. ERA
won't be an -overnight solution*
to the problem or sexual discrimination. 'You won't suddenly
see a mass Influx ot women tnlo
high positions," he .aid.
The change. In discriminatory
practice., Maddy ..id. "will
come mainly through women
exercising their power and what
legal right, they have now. The
more effective women become In
pushing   their   legislator..  Ihe
. mater utair status win improve.*
It was due to pressure by women's groups, Maddy mid,- thatlh.
ERA wa* passed by the California
UfUlatur*. -Hy 1971,* he Mid,
'woman had become wall organized and there WW Intensive
lobbying for passage of the

■Labor repre.ent.Uvaa wanted
ua lo either add a rider lo the
bill or paa. protective labor law.
for both aexe..* Maddy aald. -nut
it's . js-iiiiii-.il reality that If we
had. the bill would hav. died.*
Maddy said the ERA passed In
the Acembly fairly ...Uy,<1nce
'moat assemblymen felt, like 1
did, that court decisions had
already made sexual discrimination unconstitutional.- However,
the MU ran Into trouble In Hal
.Senate when president pro 1*111
Wilbur Mills, who opposed It,
attempted lo hold 11 In lb* Hules
Committee.   .
11 probably would have died
In commlliee.' Maddy said, -If

started a recall movement
against Mills.■
Mill* finally allowed th* bill

passed ll, making California lh*

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerome R. Waldie, whohaa
vowed the most open campaign ln
the hl.iory of California politick,
will address CSUF student* Monday al 12 noon In Ihe Free Speech
Area. .
The congressman from Contra
Costa County will follow up his
speech with a question and answer
session In ihe Collegian Room In
the cafeteria.
Waldie selected Ihe theme of
■openness and full disclosure*
lor his 1974 race for governor.
Conservation, education. Inner
fines, land reform and equitable
taxation have been named a. Ihe
central Issues lh Ihe Waldie campaign.
In a newsletter published In
February, Waldie said, •! have to
(hit.k lhal Ihe woeful turnout of
young voters In the 1972 Presl-
tlentlal race was largely due lo a
disenchantment with and distrust
of politicians' and a hellel that
access to money too often controls the decisions ol those who
occupy political olflce.*
Waldie, a veteran of 14 yeara
of political service, switched
from a hawkish to a dovish position on the Vietnam war In 1967.
According lo a Ralph Nader project called 'Citizen. Look at
Congress.* Waldie contributes
most often lo congressional de-
hate on federal subsidies, Southeast Asia, and government operations.
Waldie has been criticized on
hi. high absentee rale In the 93rd
session of Congress and hla'fail-
i.rf io sponaor any tax reform
legislation alnce he became a
congressman In 1966.
Up to Easier reress, Waldie
had 32 absences and missed al.
mo*l h*tf of lh* recorded House -
votes thla session. Ha had th*
duMoua dl.tlncllon of leading all
Congressmen In absenteeism.
According to figures published
in   ihe Congres.lonal Quarter-   *
ly,  California's representatives
overall have done relatively well
on attendance.

■I fly hack tor vote, whir* I

Recently Waldie criticized
Tenneco. Inc., a major California
conglomerate, for avoiding payment ot (76 million In fadaral
taxes by ualng 'outrageoua* loophole, thai Ihe average citizen
could nol lake advantage of.
Waldie saiii Tenneco reported
