Women S Bureaus S
New Chief Opposes
Equal Rights Plan.

Frieda Miller was sworn In yester-
day as the director Of the Womens
Bureau OF the Labor Department
and promptly announced her op-
position to the equal rights for
women" amendment favored by both
major political parties.
Z The M-year-old former New York
State industrial commissioner said
the proposed amendment would de-
stroy all the "hard-fought.for"
'wonlen's benefits and privileges on
the legislative books today-includ.
ing alimony and maternity benefits.
Il am utterly opposed to the un.
realistic notion that protective laws
for women make 1t harder for them
to get jobs" Miss Miller told q press
conference. Many Of these laws
were gained only after bitter battle
and have accomplished much good"
Equal rights advocates call such
laws unnecessary in these times and
maintain that by discriminating
against women they deprive them
OF their full rights as citizens.
When Miss Miller mentioned that
alimony provisions would be wiped
out If the equal rights amendment
were adopted. male reporter asked:
Would you mind If we men tried
to enact alimony benefits for our
selves?"
You're perfectly welcome to see
what you can do in bringing it
about" Miss Miller smilingly re-
piled.
Miss Miller was introduced TO her
press conference by Secretary OF
Labor Perkins.
Miss Miller succeeded Miss Mary
Anderson, who resigned recently
after Is years service as director.
