Miss Perkins
Embarks On
New Career
By ADELAIDE KERR
(jP) Newsfeature Writer
Frances Perkins at 63 in em
barking on a new double-decker
career as a writer and university
lecturer.
After 12 such stormy years as
she weathered in the cabinet, most
people would be glad to sit awhile.
But less than three months after
she resigned as Secretary of La
FRANCES PERKINS . . .

bor, Miss Perkins sailed for Paris
to represent Uncle Sam at the
convening of the International
Labor Organization, Oct. 15.
At the same time she began a
weekly 500-word column to be
distributed by the Institute for
; American Democracy. The Insti
tute was founded two years ago
: for the purpose of furthering un
i ity among the American people,
i irrespective, of race, creed or col
or. For the last two years it has
distributed to the religious, rural
and house-organ press a weekly
release dealing with subpects af
fecting American unity.
Miss Perkins’ column, called
“Working it Out,” and dealing
with the relation of reconversion
problems to unity, will be distrib
uted in similar manner to the la
bor press, free of charge. The In
stitute said, however, that Miss
Perkins would be paid for the col
umn, though neither its represen
tatives nor Miss Perkins would
say how much.
"The column will cover any
thing I think labor will be in
terested in. including such leg
islation as comes up." Miss Per
kins said just before she sailed.
"The labor press is becoming
more and more important as a
liaison between labor unions
and the public. I should feel
bad if my way of life should
have no contact with labor."
‘‘As I see it, what we are trying
to do in this country is improve
our democracy. If we are to be
creative about this, we must do it
in a way that takes account of
men’s habits and aspirations.”
The former secretary said that
during her sojourn in Paris the
ILO would consider amendments
to the organization’s constitution
and such questions as general
work working conditions and min
imum standards.
Soon after her return to the
United States Miss Perkins will
begin a lecture series on labor re
lations problems at.Radcliffe Uni

received invitations to lecture at
other universities and probably
would accept at least one. For the
present she will continue to make
her home in Washington, where
she lives with her husband, Paul
C. Wilson, financial statistician.
Miss Perkins gives evidence of
embarking on a new life in more
i ways than one. She has shed her

| donned a black beret. Her black
frock, once as sober and severe as
a judge's robe, is now trimmed
with an open-work white collar
backed with bright red. Her con
versation, always swift as a river,
is less measured now and liberally
seasoned with smiles and jokes.
