Women in-Congress Holding Their Own; 27 Are Candidates This Year Washington-(CQ)-While an unprecedented number of women are working in the 1960 election campaign to "get that vote" for their favorite Presidential candi date, there is a small group of 27 women working to get that vote for themselves-the women candidates for Con gress. , The 27 women include 18 Democrats and nine Repub licans. The Democrats in clude two seeking Senate seats and the. Republicans include one incumbent can didate for the Senate. New women can didates on the Democratic slate far outnumber their Republican counterparts - the GOP has only two new women candi dates, both seeking House scats! while . the Democrats have 10-eight for the House and two for the Senate. Wom en incumbents running to re tain their seats total 15-eight Democrats and seven Repub licans. , For the first tjme- in his tory, the- 1060 election will see two women fighting It out for a Senate seat-in Maine. In that race, incumbent Sen. Margaret Chase $mith (R) is opposed by Miss Lucia M., Cormier (D), currently minor ity leader in the Maine House of Representatives, where she is serving her sixth term. The third woman candidate for the Senate is Mrs.'Mau rine Neuberger (D-Ore.), wid ow of the late Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (1954-60). Mrs. Neuberger is running against GOP candidate Elmo Smith, a former Oregon interim gov ernor (1956-57) who now pub lishes a newspaper. The women Democratic candidates also Include one former Congresswoman, Mrs. Coya Knutson (Minn., 1954 58) and two making second tries for seats they came close to winning in the 1958 election-Mrs. Rudd Brown, Cali fornia, and Miss Dorothy O'Brien, Illinois. Mrs. Knut son lost in 1958 after a much publicized family squabble in which her husband campaign ed against her with a "Coya come home" plea. Mrs. Brown is running against her 1958 ' opponent, GOP Rep. Edgar W. Hiestand. She's a daughter of the late Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde, a former congresswoman from Florida and Minister to Nor way, and also a granddaugh ter of famed orator William Jennings Bryan. Miss O'Brien, trying her luck a second time against GOP Rep. Noah M. Mason, has been Democratic state vice chairman for north ern Illinois since 1958. Win or lose, the women are showing continuing determin ation in an uphill struggle to Capitol hill. To date, 65 wom en have served in Congress, nine in the Senate and 56 in the House. There were 17 women in the 86th Congress (1959-60), which was one more than in the 85th and equal to the record set in the first session of the 84th in 1955. :. That the going for women candidates is rough has been indicated by women who should know. Rep. Jessica McC. Weis (R-N.Y.) says "the smoke-filled room has long been the private preserve of men,, they are used to it, and few are ready to admit we may know as much about politics as they do." Mrs. Clare B. Williams, who directs women's activi ties for the GOP - National committee, says for a woman to succeed in politics she must "combine the optimism of Pollyanna, the efficiency of an electronic computer and the competitive spirit of a football tackle." Women in key political po sitions regard the progress of women in gaining Congres sional seats as slow and the orize that the only woman who can win is one of three types: a widow first named to fill the unexpired term of her late husband; a woman with very substantial financial means, or a woman whose husband has a business that is so flexible her career will not wreck her home life. But there are signs the "widow's peak" in Congress is receding. Of the 65 women who have served in Congress, 21 first filled unexpired terms of their late husbands, but 12 of these won reelection on their own. The 15 women in cumbents seeking reelection include nine widows, with four who succeeded their hus bands, then - won reelection. Among new candidates there is but one widow, Mrs. Neu berger, who did not fill out her late husband's term. And bachelors in Congress will be happy to hear there are three i,unmarried candidates. Here are the new women candidates: Republicans House, Mrs. Lois V. Nair (Mich.) Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly (111.); Democrats-Senate, Miss Lucia M. Cormier (Maine), Mrs. M a u r i n e Neuberger (Ore.); House, Mrs. Rudd Brown (Calif.), Mrs. Julia Butler Hansen (Wash.), Miss Mary M. Harden (Mich.), Miss Mary Kennedy (Mass.), Mrs. Coya Knutson (Minn.), Miss Dorothy O'Brien (111.), Mrs. Margaret Lee Walgren (Pa.), and Mrs. Katharine Elkus White (N.J.). Incumbent candidates: Republicans-Senate, Mrs. Mar- garet Chase Smith (Maine); House, Mrs. Frances P. Bol ton (Ohio), Mrs. Marguarite Stitt Church (111.), Mrs. Flor-, ence P. Dwyer (N.J.), Mrs. Catherine May (Wash.), Mrs. Katharine St. George (N.Y.), and Mrs. Jessica McC. Weis (N.Y.); Democrats -House, Mrs. Iris F. Blitch (Ga.), Mrs. Kathryn E. Granahan (Pa.), Mrs. Edith Green (Ore.), Mrs. Martha W. Griffiths (Mich.), Mrs. Elizabeth Kee (W.Va.), and Mrs. Edna F.
