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."

EVER SEE A DREAM RIDING? Well, we did. She glided in at the
sign of the big 76 and said softly, "The Finest, please." That's new Royal 76, the West's most
powerful premium gasoline. It performs like a-dream in your car. Gives you lightning-swift
getaway on the open road, whisper-quiet idling in city traffic. We didn't tell this to the
young lady. We just filled her car's tank and she swept away leaving room for you.
At the sign of the big 76 where you knot! you always get The Finest.
