Society and Clubs BPW Federation to Renew Fight For Equal Rights Bill L. - ''. Kb ' ...... i Gay Pauley Congress goes By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ Another march on Washington is in the works this one backed by 170,- 000 strong minded fe males whose slogan is '"equal rights, regardless of sex." The Capital will hear the tap of spike heels just as soon as a new into session. For the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs believes that 1957 will be its year of victory for one of the most important planks in its legislative platform. That's the one which calls for an equal rights amendment to the U. S. Constitution. "We mean equal legal rights," said the federation president, Miss Hazel Palmer, of Sedalia, Mo. "Why, do you know that the Supreme Court has twice ruled that women are not per sons." Dead Serious "We're dead serious; we're not a bunch of frivolous females," she added. The BPW, the oldest and larg est national organization for women who work, is just one of several women's groups backing the equal rights idea. But it is the only group which actively lobbies for its legislative pro gram. Miss Palmer, a practicing at torney since 1932, is one of sev eral representatives of the 170,-000-member organization who will be contacting congressmen. She said she also plans to work on the "opposition" some labor, church and women's groups. Equal rights bills have been in Congress before, but failed. She said opponents claim that women lose other protective measures now on the books such as maternity benefits and widow's pensions. Rights Continue "I always point out," she said, "that farmers and veterans have special legislation . . . but their rights under the Constitution re main the same." The federation president, a trim and pretty blonde, said some opponents argue that by gaining equal rights a woman would lose some of her feminity. "They said the same " thing about our right to vole," she said. She pointed out that 46 per cent of the women holding out side jobs today are married. "I'm sure the working wife has the same respect of her hus band and children as the one who lolls around the house all day," she said.' "We women don't want to be on a pedestal anyway. We want to be partners. That southern magnolia-type woman went out with the hoop skirt."
