Two gals lead cheers
for GOP, Democrats
By MICHAEL O’CONNOR
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - At about
the time Anne Armstrong
arrives at her office each day in
the Eisenhower Republican
Center here, Mary Lou Burg is
checking over telephone
messages in a suite near the
fashionable Watergate
Apartments across town.
For both it will be a busy day.
At least one briefing, a lun
cheon appearance, several
telephone calls, and reams of
letters to answer are part of a
typical schedule.
Mrs. Armstrong, the 43-year
old wife of a Texas cattle ranch
manager, and Miss Burg, 40,
single and a former radio
station executive from
Wisconsin, have never met. Yet
they have remarkably similar
jobs as the highest ranking
female executives in the
nation’s professional
Democratic and Republican
Party organizations.
This year, Mrs. Armstrong,
the Republican national
committeewoman from Texas,
was designated by the party as
one of two co-chairmen to
assist incoming party chief
Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas.
The difference between titles
can be argued (Miss Burg is
designated as vice chairman of
the Democratic National
Committee) but Mrs. Arm
strong lays claim to having the
highest party rank ever
bestowed on a woman.
Miss Burg, the national
committeewoman from
Wisconsin, took over her new
responsibilities last July.
In separate interviews, both
women outlined their jobs
generally as coordinators and
boosters of grass roots party
organizations and neither
objected to a description of
partisan “cheerleader.”
Each spends more than one
half of an average month
traveling to meet and speak to

partisan and nonpartisan
organizations throughout the
country.
“I am committed to this
schedule for the duration,”
Mrs. Armstrong said. “I want
to see President Nixon
reelected.”
And Miss Burg replied:
“Traveling can be tiring but I
love it and want to tell the
people what the Democratic
Party can offer. You must
admit, President Nixon has
given us a lot to work with.”
Both women served a variety
of party apprenticeship roles in
their home states before being
selected for the national
committee posts.
Mrs. Armstrong, the mother
of five, was the former vice
chairman of the GOP in Texas
and served as a delegate to
national conventions in 1964
and 1968. She is a founder of the
“Tops 'N Texas” statewide
awards program which an
nually recognizes three Texas
women for outstanding
volunteer community service.
Miss Burg got her first ex
perience doing committee work
in her home town of West Bend.
Wis., and chaired the local
county committee for two
years before coming to
Washington.
Neither has run for office
although Mrs. Armstrong said
both she and her husband had
been asked to “many times.”
Miss Burg said she has no plans
to do so herself but isn’t ruling
out the possibility.
During travels, both said,
they encourage women to run
for office.
“The number of women
holding office at the state and
national level has declined in
the last few years,” Mrs. Arm
strong said. “But if anyone
asks me if she should run, I
encourage her.”
“Women have much to
contribute to government and
there is no reason why they
should not run,” Miss Burg
added.
In talks with women, both
said they felt the Vietnam war
and the cost of living were the
issues which bothered most
homemakers.
Both also said they sensed a
growing concern among
women for enforcement of
equal rights legislation. They
agreed this was a concern of
most women who would NOT
normally be tagged as involved
in Women's Liberation ac
tivities.

Bumper cotton crop asked
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Agri
culture Secretary Clifford N.
Hardin is calling on cotton
farmers to “do all they can”
to bring in a bumper 1971 crop.
Hardin said Tuesday his de
partment will join industry lead
ers in a campaign to promote
expanded cotton production this
year. He said a bigger crop is
needed to help meet expanding
demand both in the United States
and abroad, or the industry will
run the risk of having man
made fibers replace cotton
goods.
Hardin said that almost all
1971 cotton acreage has been
planted, adding, “It thus be
comes of paramount importance
that cotton growers do all they
can to bring their crops along
and attain the maximum possi
ble yield and quality.”
Dr. C. R. Sayre, president of
the National Cotton Council, ap
peared with Hardin at a news
conference announcing the cam
paign. He said cotton industry
groups will set up their own
strategy committee to help push
the joint effort to boost cotton
production.
The effort comes at a time
when a series of small cotton
crops has pulled the prospective
national cotton carryover stock
this summer down to about 4.5
million bales, lowest in nearly
two decades.
Farmers had indicated plans
to boost 1971 plantings to about
12 million acres, and cotton
leaders had been hoping for a
12 million bale crop compared
with 10.1 million bales last year.
Hardin and Sayre noted, how
ever, that planting in many ma
jor producing regions had been
hampered by the weather. The
crops in the Southwest were
hampered by drought and in
other areas by too much rain.
Jail death
talks set
ATLANTA (UPI)-Gov. Jim
my Carter has agreed to meet
Friday with black civil rights
leader Hosea Williams to dis
cuss a possible investigation into
the death of a Negro prisoner
in the Jefferson County Jail at
Louisville.
Thomas Mack, 29, died in his
cell last week. Sheriff Zollie
Compton said the man hanged
himself.
Williams, spokesman for the
Black Leadership Coalition, ask
ed Carter to bring in the Geor
gia Bureau of Investigation and
“other state crime investigating
agencies” to look into circum
stances surrounding Mack’s
death.
The FBI said Monday it had
entered the case. Compton said
he welcomed the investigation.
In his letter to Carter, Wil
liams said racial tensions exist
ed in the Louisville area because
of “several alleged police bru
tality cases.” Williams urged an
immediate investigation to
“avoid bloodshed of innocent
citizens.”
Rowen court
session set
THOMSON, Ga. (UPI)— A

trials of a state legislator and
a former policeman charged

Court Judge Robert L. Stevens

Gas import
block sought
WASHINGTON (UPI) - At
lantic Gas Light Co., which re
cently signed a new 20-year
service contract with Southern
Natural Gas Co., has asked the
Federal Power Commission to
block a move by Southern to
import Algerian gas.
W. L. Lee, president of At
lanta Gas Light, said his firm
opposed the move because of
“political instability and the
hazards of long ocean voyage,”
and because gas would be sold
on an “unregulated” basis,
which he estimated would raise
gas costs to Atlanta Gas Light’s
675,000 customers by at least
s4l million a year.
Southern Natural has asked
the FPC for permission to im
port half a billion cubic feet
of natural gas daily in liquified
form from the Algerian fields,
which were confiscated by the
Algerian government earlier
this year.
The gas would be transported
by tanker to Savannah, Ga., and
then converted back into a gas
eous state for resale to Atlanta
Gas Light and other customers.
