MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION FOR EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED CHILDREN PRESENTS* "AThousand Clowns" starring JASON ROBARDS Thursday, Sept. 24 LONDON (R)/Much of the women's liberation movement in Europe is in a lower key than its U.S. counterpart. Some Europeans, in fact, see their American sisters as too aggressive. "They can't cope with sexuality or present any- thing but the reverse of domination," says Sheila Rowbotham, a Marxist lecturer. "Not much to make a social revolution for . . The so-called women's question is% a whole people's question. The creation of a new woman demands the cre- ation of a new man." Europe's liberation movement sometimes looks as much political as feminist. The New States- man, a leftist London weekly, commented that women's liberation "is no longer a stylish pink; it is very red." In general, the European movement stresses women's worth and specific reforms to the benefit of both sexes. Feminists in Britain, Denmark and the Nether- lands are Europe's current leaders, even if their numbers are small. The outcry carries the same ring as in the United States: women are second- class citizens who suffer gross and sytematic lack of opportunity in education, vocational training and jobs. Their demands include equal pay for equal work, abortion reform, more nursery schools and day care centers, chances to invade economic strongholds manned until now by males. The British movement began to crystallize last March, when a conference in Oxford drew 500 delegates. Now Women's Liberation Workshop has 700 members organized into local groups 'with, their own publication, "Shrew," formerly called "Harpies Bizarre." The workshop is concerned primarily with "raising consciousness." The practical initiative still rests firmly with a committee and a Con- servative member of Parliament, Dame Joan Vick- ers. While the committee lobbies in Parliament for equal rights and an end to discrimination in jobs, the workshops attacks the advertising in- dustry,, which it claims presents women as "sex objects, consumer dustbins, unreal unless being regarded by men." In Denmark a dozen of the 600-strong Red- stockings are awaiting trial for refusing to pay. more than 80 per cent of bus fares. This is an attempt to protest wage discrimination. Eva Hammer Hansen, 57-year-old president of the Danish Women's Society, said: "It is now primarily a question of changing mentality and attitudes to eliminate all lines of thought that distinguish between man and woman-except in the one field where it is and always has been relevant." Amsterdam is stirred up by some 3,000 femin- ists, led by the formidable Dolle Minas, whose at- tack on the male dominance and wage discrimina- tion reached a peak last spring. Swiss women still cannot vote. The largest existing feminist group, in Zurich, today has only about, 20 members. ' In Belgium, women demand only equal pay, for equal work. In Spain and Italy, a woman's place is still in the kitchen,. but there are signs of a stir among Latin women. "This is fertile territory," says Italy's Anselma dell'Olio, 29, founder of a New York feminist theater. "Women are very oppressed and very anxious to be liberated." A young Barcelona actress, Emma Cohen, agrees. In Spain a wife needs her husband's writ- ten consent to obtain a driver's license or pass- port, to hold political office or to take a job. Women's lib has not yet hit Eastern Europe- officially, there is nothing for women to complain about. The principle of economic equality has been law in Communist states since their founding. In practice, a woman earns two-thirds of a man's pay. Poland, however, has just appointed its first woman naval captain.

"We are jconfident ?it is being won," said presidential economic adviser Herbert Stein at the White House. Press secretary R o n a 1 d Ziegler reported Nixon very pleased at the two-tenths of one per cent August price rise. "This was the smallest month-to-month change since December 1968," said the Bureau of Labor Statistics in Wednesday's price report. On a seasonal basis - adjusted for usually expected factors - it was the smallest in three years, the bureau said. * * * THE REV. CARL McINTIRE welcomed peace groups to his rally including South Vietnam's Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky and sent a telegram inviting Vice President Spiro Agnew too. "We welcome them if they come for peace," McIntire said to the possibility that peace groups will stage counter-demonstrations. "We are going to try to impress them that the victory stance is the quickest and surest way to peace. He talked of "peace based on triumph over the enemy." Spokesmen for various peace groups have said they will try to make a citizen's arrest of Ky "for being a war criminal," and a spokesman for the Yippies said that group has declared the Oct. 3 rally a "free fire zone." McIntire, a,fundamentalist radio preacher who heads the "United States March for Victory" wired Agnew that "it is possible that his (Ky's) rhetoric will be similar to yours as he pleads for his people and desires that he hasten the day of victory." * * * THAILAND'S FOREIGN MINISTER, Thanat Knoman, sug- gested yesterday that the Paris talks on Vietnam be broadened to include the Soviet Union, Britain and France, in a policy declaration before the 126-member U.N. General Assembly, Knoman said this would be "a reasonable way out" of what he called the stagnation in efforts to restore peace in South- east Asia. * * f CAMBODIAN FORCES, mounting the biggest offensive of ' their six-month-old war, pressed forward yesterday toward a major Communist strongpoint north of Phnom Penh. On the move opce again after being stalled for 10 days by powerful opposition from the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, the government force was reported closing in slowly on the town of Taing Kauk" 46 miles north of Phnom Penh. Reports reaching the capital said ;that up to 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops were still in Taing Kauk. Advance elements were said to be meeting only light resistance as they reoccupied villages on the flanks of the government force's forward lines, about two miles from Taing Kauk.

NATIONAL COVERAGE *.Nxon aide hits federal health plan _ WASHINGTON (AP) - The Nix- on administration took a strong stand yesterday against a pro- posed cradle-to-grave federal health-care program for Ameri- cans, declaring it would raise gov- ernment health costs sevenfold and violate tradition. John Veneman, undersecretary of welfare, told a Senate commit- tee the Health Security Act pro- posed by Sen. Edward Kennedy, (D-Mass.), would boost federal health-care spending from $11 billion to $77 billion and would be "entirely alien to our basic tra-. ditions." Veneman said if it became law it would force diversion of federal funds from income maintenance, nutrition, housing, the environ- ment and other health-related ef- forts. And he claimed its financing would require a federal health tax averaging $1,000 a year for every household in the land. At issue is a bill sponsored by Kennedy and 14 others w hi c h would guarantee free medical care, including hospitalization, doctors' fees and dental care, to all Amer- icans, regardless of income. It would do away with present pro- grams including medicare and, medicaid aimed specifically at they elderly aqjd poor. Its passage would be expected also to make private health a n d medical insurance unnecessary. Declaring "there is no person in the nation who has not felt t h e burden of the soaring cost of medical care," Kennedy urged committee approval of the bill as the hearings began. Veneman conceded a need for improved health care for t h e poor and said the Nixon adminis- tration is drafting legislation aim- ed at that, goal. I ________ E l . "The heat is on," said one source in the negotiations, speaking of congressional pressure on the White House and its Labor Department mediators.
