FRST LADY BACKS HORKNG WOMEN Need Protection of Work and Wage Laws, She Says at Press Parley. By the Assoclated Press. Taking issue with the National Wom- an’s party feminists who will hold a rally here tomorrow in behalf of the equal rights amendment, Mrs, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in her press conference yesterday, favored protective legisla- tign for women, rather than the elimi- n¥20n of legal sex differences for which Afice Paul and her followers plan to petition the President. “I think the National Woman's party gnore the fact there is & fundamental ifference between men and women,” sald Mrs. Roosevelt, adding that the group voiced the views of “a very lim- ited, high-type group of women who are able to defend thempselves.” The mass of laboring women, she said still need the protection of maximum hour and minimum wage laws, particu- larly in view of the difficulty of getting them organized into labor unions. Backs Many of Principles. ‘The President’s wife added, however, she was in complete sympathy with many of the things for which the Na- tional Woman's party stands, such as the principle of the same pay for the same work, be the worker woman or man; and the right of a married woman to a job. She said her own mail showed the most vigorous protests against married women working came from women. Bhe held it un-American to say that any one should not work, but said that in situations where one person’s salary ‘would suffice to support a family, other members might, in the depression emer- gency, be requested to give up their salaries.

INTEREST Establishment df Many More Retreats for Jobless Is Requested. \ By the Associated Press, ‘The country camp at Bear Mountain, N. Y., for unemployed' women estab- lished at the suggestion of Mrs. Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, has stirred Nation- wide interest, with requests for estab- lishment of many others. This was learned from Mrs. Roosevelt at her press conference yesterday, when ! she sald she had not only received let- ters from &1 over the country about the Bear Mountain camp, but had also re- celved a request from the camp itself for 300 blankets. She took the latter request as a things were going more to her liking at the women's camp. When Mrs. Roosevelt visited Bear Mountain she expressed keen disappoint- ment that s0 few women were using the advantages of the camp, and attributed it in part to the strict governing rules. She sald today she had gathered that some of these rules had been made more liberal. The age limit, she said, has been raised from 35 to 40, and the camp now is allowed to receive two sis- ters from one family, whereas there was previously a ri rule that only one from a family might enroll. Mrs. Roosevelt said in addition to re- quests for information about starting similar camps she had received several offers of free use of camp properties All these letters were sent on to Harry Hopkins. Federal relief administrator, under whose supervision the women's camps would fall. Mrs. Roosevelt said the letters had established to her own satisfaction that there existed a great deal of interest in the subject and that there had been an apparent acknow! lent that some- thing more along line should be done for women.
