Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, July 28, 1983 Reagan hires too few women, feminists say WASHINGTON (AP) - Feminist groups accused President Reagan yesterday of trying to hide a dismal record on women's issues by misrepresenting his appointments to government jobs and unfairly claiming credit for legislative achievements. Judy Goldsmith, president of the National Organiztion for Women, said Reagan's assertion Tuesday that his administration had done much for women was ludicrous. THE NATIONAL Women's Political Caucus said its tally of Reagan's ap- pointments of women puts him behind former President Carter in important categories. Reagan said he is way ahead of Carter in appointing women to government posts in the first two years of the presidency. Patricia Reuss, legislative director of the women Equity Action League, said Reagan is "taking credit for things he had nothing to do with" in regard to taxes, Individual Retirement Accounts and child care. At his nationally broadcast news con- ference Tuesday night, Reagan rejec- ted a suggestion that the absence of women on his newly appointed, 12- member advisory commission on Cen- tral America lent weight to charges that he is insensitive to women. HE SAID HIS administration had named more than 1,000 women to "executive positions here in gover- nment," three women members of the Cabinet and a Supreme Court justice. "It's just a case of our record isn't known," he said. Goldsmith, a harsh Reagan critic, said she was amazed by the president's remarks. "President Reagan's statement last night was outrageous and insulting," she said in an interview. "His assertion that the administration has helped .women is ludicrous. It would be laughable if it weren't such a tragic example of Reagan's blindness to women. DURING REAGAN'S first two years as president, the National Women's Political Caucus, said had named 63 women to top-level jobs requiring Senate confirmation, or 9 percent of those positions.

The Michigan Daily Vol. XCIII, No. 28 Thursday, July 28, 1983 TODAY Blondes have more fun? B RITAIN'S HOUSE of Lords has ruled that blondes do not have more fun, especially when it comes to courts and taxes. Lawyer Ann Mallalieu said she could not wear her court attire anywhere else because the required black suits, skirts, shoes, and white blousesmade her look dowdy and did not suit her fair complexion. She claimed she was entitled to tax relief for having to buy it, and a court agreed that she could claim $825 for clothes bought in 1976-77. But a panel of law lords ruled against Mallalieu yesterday. Said one lord, "It would be absurd to suppose that there exists one law for the blonde barrister who lacks a wardrobe of dark clothes and another for the brunette barrister, whose wardrobe of everyday clothes contains many dresses suitable for court appearances."
