News and Views
BY ALEXANDER S. LIPSETT Can ILNS Feature)

Amidst the continuing nationa
debate on old-age pensions, public
health, and related measures, it is
interesting to consider the example
of Sweden, outstanding pioneer in
social security legislation. The
writer had occasion, some years
ago, to study first hand the scope
and effects Of the Swedish system.
1t was an inspiring and construc-
tive experience. This is perhaps
the best program devised so far to
live up to what must be the guild
ing principle of social legislation
namely, to give every citizen the
protection and help to which he is
entitled as a member of society.
By the same token it would be a
mistake to apply the Swedish sys-
TEN, based on a homogeneous peo-
pie and stemming, literally, from
centuries-old social experimental
tion, to the United States. Our
growth, traditions, composition and
thinking are different. So are our
economic and social structure. Con-
sequently it is up to US, and US
alone, to find the ways and means
dictated by our history, character
and ways of living.
How does the Swedish social Sc
curity in Sweden operate? First, it
is a public obligation, amounting to
nearly 10 percent of the annual ma
tional income. Social expenditures,
presently, exceed 1000 million
kroner, or about 1920 million (but
with a purchasing power perhaps
twice that much). About rs per-
cent of these expenditures are paid
out Of taxes. This means that one
third of all government revenues
are spent on social security, as
compared to one-siXth some 20
years ago.
Regardless of status and income,
all citizens above 81 years are en-
titled to an annual basic pension of
1000 kroner, plus a cost of living
bonus. Supplements for housing,
etc, depend on special eligibility
tests. Pensions are also paid to in
valids, those suffering from pro-
longed illness, and widows. The
latter is entitled to a maximum
pension Of 60 kroner. To be eligible
she must have been married at
least 5 years and be 55 years of
age at her husbands death.
X :. ;.
Most pension costs are betrayed
by the government, but every cit
izen from 18 to sc contributes 6 to
1C0 kr. annually, according to his
income. There are plans afoot to-
replace the present system with a
compulsory pension insurance, but
no definite decision has yet been
made.
This scheme, scheduled to start
in 1855, would be financed by con-
tributions of 1.5 percent of the net
income from both employers and
employees. The government would

First Cease Order Issued By NY
Board On Discrimination

New York (LPA)-Refusal by
an employment agency to accept
procedure recommended by the
New York State Commission
against Discrimination has led the
commission to issue the first cease
and desist order in the five and a
half years it has operated.
The order was issued against
Kirk Lucas Agency on a complaint
by John w. Woorm. He charged
the group sought information about
his religion and national origin be-
fore offering him a job. More than
1900 earlier complaints, including
one against the Kirk Lucas Agency,
were settled by the commission
without such action becoming nee
eSsary.

administer it and foot the admins
trative expenses. Payment of pre-
miums would begin at the age OF
Is for both sexes and end at AZ for
men and al for women.
Children's care is another i'm
portant measure in the Swedish
scheme of things. All parents, ir-
respective of their income, are en-
titled to a grant of 800 kr. year
for each child up to 16 years of
age. However, there are no tax ex-
emptions for children. The prin-
cipal reason for these grants is to
make them available to even the
lowest, tax-free income groups.
!. ). :.
Public Health Sweden has so
far turned thumbs down on So
called socialized medical care.
About two-thirds of the people are
covered by a state-subsidized pub
lie health insurance system. This
insurance pays all hospital ex-
penses, most of the doctors fees,
and certain daily sickness allow
ances, according to the premiums
paid by the insured persons.
In addition, low-priced care in
tax-supported hospitals is open to
both insured and uninsured. Public
clinics treat patients at nominal
fee. If disqualification is necessary,
private rooms and public wards are
available, the latter at the daily
rate of 3 to a kr. (60-75 cents).
This includes operation, treatment,
etc. The trouble here, as in the
British public health system, is that
hospitals and clinics are extremely
crowded. A patient may have to
wait for weeks before he is admit
ed.
Parliament passed a years ago a
new health law providing for free
treatment in public hospitals, free
medicine, etc, but strained public
finances have kept the bill from
being enforced.
= = :.
Rural areas are looked after by
doctors on the public payroll, who
are at the same time permitted to
have their private practice. This al
lows doctors to settle in small and
remote communities.
Expectant mothers and babies
are entitled to free regular medical
checkups. A mother receives 1875
kr. when the child is born. There is
also regular medical and dental
care in public schools, free school
lunches, etc.
Mothers and children in low in
come groups are granted free vaca-
tion trips. If necessary a trained
home assistant takes care of the
household while the mother is sick
or away. There are over $500 such
state-paid home assistants.
Accident insurance is obligatory
and paid by the employer. This
takes care of all medical costs, hos
pital, a daily allowance, payment
of annuities to invalids, and if the
worker dies to his surviving de-
pendents.
Sweden does not have public un-
employment insurance such as in
the U. S. However, unions-and
practically all of Swedish labor is
unionized-and other organizations
have unemployment funds, financ-
ed by the membership and supple
mented by government grants. The
of unemployment relief isl
rather small, 2 to Z kr. per day.
Relief is granted for a maximum
period of 1876 days in the course Of
one year, or for one continuous per-
iod of unemployment. This phase
of social security, it seems to me,
needs improvement.

Are You A Red?'
Court Rules You
Need Not Answer

Washington HPA)-A witness
can refuse to answer a question
about Communist connections on
the ground that a reply might be
Iself-incriminating.
That's the way the Supreme
Court ruled Dec. II in a case in
lvolving Patricia Blau Of Denver,
who refused TO answer federal
grand jury's questions in Septem-
Der 1913 and was convicted of con
tempt of court. The decision raised
serious doubts about the 50-odd
contempt -of-Congress citations now
in the courts against persons who
refused to reply to queries about
Communist connections posed by
the House, Un-American Activities
Committee. 1t was also believed by
some that the opinion outlawed the
registration provisions Of the Nc
Carran anti-subversive act passed
in September over Presidential
veto, since Communists might hold
registration TO be incriminating.
Miss Blau had contended that al
though Communist party member
ship wasn't crime, admission Of
Communist connections might be a
factor in bringing about prosecu-
tion under the Smith act, the sta
tute under which the II top Am
erican Communist leaders were
convicted last year. The Smith act
makes it a crime to advocate vio-
lent overthrow Of the government.
The court ruled unanimously
with Justice Tom Clark not parti-
cipating. The decision was written
by Justice Hugo Black who based
his opinion on the constitutional
guarantee that a man cannot be
forced to testify against himself.
"There's nothing very surprising
about the decision," one Capital
attorney observed, adding that it
was simply the last in long line
of ruling sustaining the constitu-
tional provision.
Legal authorities explained that
the decision didn't upset the con-
viction of the Hollywood Ten"
the movie writers who refused to
tell the Un-American Activities
Committee whether they were or
had been Communists and are now
in prison. They based their refusal
on the Constitutions free-speech
clause, not on possible self-incrimi-
nation.
In Miss Blau's case, Justice Black
reasoned as follows: "She could
reasonably fear that criminal
charges might be brought against
her if she admitted employment by i
the Communist party or intimate
knowledge of its workings. Wheth- |
er such admissions by themselves
would support conviction under
a criminal statute is immateriaL |
Answers to the questions asked by
the grand jury would have furnish |
ed link in the chain of evidence
needed in a prosecution of petition
er for violation of Tor conspiracy to
violate) the Smith act. Prior decis- |
ions of this court have clearly
that under such circum-
stances the Constitution gives the
witness the privilege of remaining
silent. The attempt by the courts
below to compel petitioner to test
ify runs counter to the fifth amend
ment as it has been interpreted
from the beginning"
