Federation Asks'Equal Rights’
Clause in U. N. Declaration
n n . i _
oy nuin uean 4 i
Tire District Federation of Wom
en s Clubs voted yesterday to re
quest the United, Nations Commis
sion on Human Rights to insert in
the declaration of the international
bill of rights and the covenant on
human rights the phrase that “the
rights of men and women be equal
m all fields.”
Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, legislation:
chairman, introduced the resolution
at the monthly meeting at the1
Hamilton Hotel, and announced the
request would be forwarded im
mediately in a letter to Mrs. Elea
nor Roosevelt, chairman of the
commission, which will meet in1
Geneva next month.
The action was taken as the
District Federation took up a num
ber of resolutions scheduled to be
presented before the General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs at the
annual convention next month in
Portland, Oreg.
The local organization voted to
ask the General Federation to defer
action on a resolution on the inter
national bill of human rights, which
requests that the United States
“promptly ratify” the document as
well as the treaty for its imple
mentation. It was pointed out that
these two documents are not com
pleted and the federation does not
know what their contents will be.
Mrs. Wiley also urged adoption
of a counter resolution to one sug
gested by the General Federation
.calling $*•r "immediate reform” of
the Office of Indian Affairs. Ob
jecting to the wording of the Gen
eral Federation resolution as pre
sented by the national Indian af
fairs chairman, Mrs. John J. Kirk,
Mrs. Wiley declared “the Indian
Office needs help, not condemna
tion.”
The counter resolution, passed by
the local group, urges “that the
policy of the United States with
regard to its Indian population,
should have as its objective the en
couragement of Indians to assume
full management of their own re
sources and affairs and full par
ticipation in American life, without
being required to relinquish exist
ing guarantees to the inalienabil
ity or tax exemption of their land
or other property.”
The resolution also calls on the1

In answer to the objections of
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, national
legislation chairman, who defended
the original resolution, Mrs. Horace
J. Phelps declared the use of the
word “reform” was "misleading” and
that if the Office of Indian Affairs
seemed at times to be inefficient in
operation, it was because it has be
come “a political football.’’
Two resolutions approved by the
local federation call for establish
ment of an international police
force by the U. V. Security Council
and request the renewal of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act
which expires this June.
The group also indorsed a con
vention resolution deploring "the
promotion of drinking through in
creasingly intensive national’ ad
vertising by radio, newspaper and
magazine, and inclusion in motion
pictures of drinking scenes which
do not further the plot of the story.’’
In another action, it voted its sup
port of a resolution protesting a
“trend” in current literature which
"frequently offends the good taste
and sensibilities of the average
reader and tends to lower the moral
sianaaras and merary appreciation
of our youth.”
The District group also put Its.
support behind a resolution which
asserts that women are not receiving
due recognition in Government ap
pointments and protests to the
President of the United States
"against such discrimination.”
Mrs. E. Morgan Pryse. vice presi
dent, presided in the absence of
Mrs. Edward C. Madgeburger, who
was unable to attend because of
illness.
The all-day meeting concluded
with the presentation of the annual
"Penny Art Fair” and poetry con
test awards. Mrs. Wilbur H.
Youngman, chairman of the line
arts department, was in charge of
the program.
The three prizes in the art contest
were all won by members of the
