PAGE FOUR “EQUAL RIGHTS BILL” FOR WOMEN ROUSES CONTROVERSY By ADELAIDE KERR | AP Feature Writer The first legislative measure laid before the 78th Congress, is} one of vital importance to every woman in the world. It is a proposed amendment to the Constitution giving the women of the United States equal} rights with men.

PLANNING TO EXPAND (Continued from Page One) half of the training load being in pre-employment courses. The supply of skilled builders disappeared from the labor market sometime ago. It has been necessary for the schools to train ex-farmers, school teach- ers, laborers and a wide range of occupations. These workers have been taught single skills prior to employment and addi- tional skills and related technical information following employ- ment. Through the training in these schools, the Office of Education said, the shipbuilding industry Jand the Navy have been able to jlaunch fhére “ships. Many em- ployers‘who have received the Navy “E” awards, frankly give credit to the schools for their part in assisting to provide a | trained labor force.

Now there are more than} 1,000 discriminations under the} law which affect women in differ- | ent ways in different states. i “When we first began to work! for equal legal rights for women, we worked on specific bills to cure | specific ills. But we learned that| after we got a bill passed improv- | ing the condition of women, the} next legislature could overturn} it. We found out that the only} permanent way to make gains for} women was an equal rights amend- | ment.” | The Arguments Against Rose Schneiderman, Secretary of the New York State Department of Labor, voices labor’s objections to the measure: “We have worked for certain laws such as the mini- mum wage law for women which } we think gives women more equal- | ity than a blanket amendment. | The equal rights amendment will | cancel these because it would be! construed that women shall not have any legislation men do not! have.” ‘Lena Madesin Phillips, New York lawyer and President of the} International Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women’s Clubs, answers labor's attack with: A “Nothing as important and a reaching as according women / equal rights under the law could, : come without considerable con- | fusion and perhaps some tempor | ary injustice. But the principle js right. If this amendment destroyys | the minimum wage laws, we an | pass new ones for both men and} women.” Judge Dorothy Kenyon, New York lawyer and former judge of | the New York Municipal Court, objects to the equal rights, arnend- ment, on, these grounds: ,;; \: “This amendmepty take away,the power to enact protec- | tive legislation and. thatt power} should always be preserved. “Besides there is no p:arallel for | this legislation,” she ‘said. “It would hand ovre an ; enormous | field of personal relations to the} federal government. "Whe federal | government has no, jurisdiction in | the field of domestic relations, | The law of domestic relations is a| matter for the state alone. The judges will have no standards to} guide them.” MARRIAGE MART | The following marriage li- censes were issued vesterday by | Judge Raymond R. Lord: Norman L.

Either Hardacker told him Miss Stewart was on the way, or else Raeburn just knocked Hardacker, put him in the | closet and was about to shove off when he heard her come.

She realized at once that there were some gaps in Bacon’s theory about Raeburn; she also was vaguely disturbed by the knowledge that Ward Allen had been released at seven thirty | the night before. Suddenly a long dormant question demanded’ at- tention. “Kent,” she said, wonderin; why she had not thought to ak before, “do you know when Hes- tor married Losado?” “Pm not sure about the year—” “The month?” “July.” Joyce sat up. “I knew it, I knew there was something—” She loeked at Delia. “Don’t you Temember?” “Wait a minute.” Murdock was luinting at her. “You~ knew | what?” Not Hestor “QHE wasn’t divorced until Au- gust.

This is regrettable, the local chapter reveals, because of the fact that the workrooms had to be closed during December due to lack of material and now’, that they are open again, a tre-} mendous amount of cotton is on. hand to be made into dressings and even more workers than for- merly are desperately needed, it was stated. The chapter urges that every. woman in Key West donate some part of her time to this import- ant war work. The workrooms are open daily, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p. m. PEOPLE'S FORUM ‘The Citsen welcomes expres- sions of the views of its read- ers, but the editor reserves the right te delete any items which are considered libelous or unwarranted. otherwise. EXPLAINS ACT! ION, Editor, The Citizen: I will appreciate 1t very much if 4 you will be so kind as to allow'‘me space in your paper to explain my stand on the garbage matter. After Mr. Caraballo, without giving the city any notice of his intention to abandon the collection of garbage, I being aware of the dangerous situation which was be- ing caused by the accumulation of garbage, especially around res- taurants and other places where food was served, worked day and night to relieve the situation. I neglected my buginess and devoted my entire time -to the work. I ap- pealed to truck owners through The Citizen to rent or lease their trucks to the city, I was success- ful in obtaining six trucks which have relieved the situation consid- erably. I had an ordinance drawn up which I presented to the Council relative to the city taking over the service and purchasing the neces- sary equipment. I spent several nights attending council meetings, trying to convince the different members of the council to do some- thing about the dangerous situa- tion confronting us. However, there was some opposition on the part of a few members of the coun- cil who would not do anything themselves nor allow those of the council who were willing to hon- estly face the situation and do something about it. Thave nothing against Mr. Cara- ballo, the former collector of gar- bage. However, since he abandon- ed the service without any no- tice whatsoever after collecting from many of our people in ad- vance for his services, I did not think it wise to continue with him or to give him a contract on the part of the city to continue the work. I have nothing but the kindest personal feeling toward those who did not look at the matter as I did, but as I feel that I have done everything humanly possible to relieve the dangerous situation which exists and establish a safe and sanitary plan for the removal of garbage that there is nothing | further that I can do, so I am leav- ing the matter in the hands of those who could not see fit to agree with me and trust that they will take over the situation and do something about it. e Thanking you for allowing me the privilege- of explaining my stand relative to this matter.
