Washington. Sept. ~ R-Herbert
Hoover today frankly told = dele
CATION from the women's party that
he would not pledge himself to an
equal rights amendment to the con-
stitution until he had completed an
exhaustive study Of the effect of
such a change in the fundamental
law.
Mr.. Hoover received the woman's
party delegation In the spacious
ballroom on the second floor OF his
general headquarters. and listened
to pleas for a constitutional amend
ment.
Il think you will agree that any
plea based on equal opportunity and
removal OF restrictions of any
group will make great appeal to
me-" he said. Il have long regarded
that as an ideal of American life.
but it has not been my habit to
rush into determinations on any
public questions.
Il would 60 to any extent to re-
move restrictions on equality OF op-
portunity. l have the utmost SYM
pathy for you in your problems and
I have asked some of my friends
qualified to penetrate the mazes OF
this problem to make thorough in
vestigation of the effect of such an
amendment as you propose.
Study Is Needed
There is on the statute books of
all states a mass of legislation de-
signed primarily for the benefit Of
women and children. l would hest
tate to say without a thorough and
exha ustive study that all of these
should be brushed aside with one
sweep of the hand.
Il want to be honest with you. I
do not know OF anything more seri-
Gus for any public man than to
pledge himself to a change Of the
constitution. am not going to
pledge myself until l have exhausted
my information on the subject. II
l find to my satisfaction that this
il necessary to obtain equality Of op-
portunity 1 will be with you.
Il could not be more frank with
you and l hope you will receive this
in the spirit in which 1t is given
The women. who were led by Miss
Maud Younger Of California. con-
gressional chairman of the woman's
party. applauded vigorously as Mr.
Hoover bowed himself out Of the
room.
Besides Miss Younger several
other members Of the delegation
addressed the candidate urging his
support Of an amendment which
would remove all restrictions on
women in industry, giving them an
equal place with men.
Miss Gail Laughlin. vice chairman
Of the party. Of Portland. Maine.
told Mr.. Hoover that the amend
ment was bound to come and that
all human beings could do would be
to speed or retard It's arrival. Mrs.
Florence Bayard Hilies. Of Della

representing any fanatical view
point and that she believed she
would be false to her own inheri-
