Russian Authorities Have Novel Proposition Planned By
 Madame kollantaS

Moscow, Feb. II R-Discussing proposed changes in the soviet mar rage code Madame Kollantay, Rus sia's militant woman ambassador 10 Norway, suggests the creation Of an "alimony fund derived from direct taxation of all men in the country out Of which abandoned mothers and their babies may be supported, This, she says. would Do much less degrading form of support than the existing plan, which makes it obligatory for divorced fathers to provide for their former wives and olisprings.
 Madame Kollantay asserts that for tho peasantry marriage repre- , scnts real producing factor, be- cause the country woman helps her l husband to produce goods, where. as. for the manual workers matri- mony means only consuming ele-
 ment, in that tho city woman only helps her spouse 10 consume what i he earns. On the theory that social conditions in Russia vary widely she proposes that the conditions of the marriage contract should also vary for different classes.
 She would have one contract for
 peasants, another for manual work
 ors. and third for soviet officials with different requirements for each
