Thai Women Assails
PolygamY

BANGKOK - (P) How can
Thai (Siamese) women be consid-
cred as having equality with men
when the males are permitted to
have more than one wife So asked
Nang Nantaka Suprabhatanand,
former chairman of the Women's
Law Association, amid the cheers
of the Thai Women's Association.
The woman attorney said Thai
women legally have equal rights
but nature and tradition initiate
against attainment of this equality.
/ She said it probably would be i'm
possible to pass a law to change
the marital situation, but it was
/ fortunate that the cost of living
these days obstructs most men
from having more than one wife.
The law recognizes three tyes oil
Thai wives: legally registered
semi-wife and servant wife. We
men have the right Of divorce, she
commented, but she did not. favor
1 use of this legal weapon except IL
extreme cases. Nang Nantaka also
criticised the law that gives the
husband powerto handle his wife'i
property. She said women who hat
their own careers outside the hom,
should be allowed to manage theil
own property.

that an important step in the crea-
tion of a peace-time system to as
sure adequate manpower for the
nations defense is now being TAX
en-. This defense structure rests
with the public, private and gov
ernment agencies.
While the armed forces are
charged with active defense; mea-
sures for saving lives, restoring
communities, industrial plants and
facilities are all important in total
war. If civilian production is dis
rupted, the war could be lost.
During peace time, employees of
private industry have an opportun-
ity to contribute their share toward
national security, through the Re-
serve Corps and National Guard
without disrupting their civilian
jobs. Veterans, as well as men
without prior service, are offered
the opportunity to benefit them
selves by participating in reserve
activities. National Guard and Re-
serve Corps men are paid we'll for
attending training periods through
out the year.
Properly armed and trained, the
American citizen can guard his
heritage against any foreign ag-
