Determinations against women
are rooted in age-old laws, tradi-
tions, customs and language. 1t is
necessary that the expert advice
of women Observation-Disclosures ex-
perience has developed sensi-
tiveness to determinations, even
though they are often uninten-
tional-should be available to the
United Nations, which has taken
on the task of promoting women's
rights.
Such advice, in fact, available
throught the 15-member U.N.
Commission on the Status of
Women, which recently finished
its Fourth Session at u N. Head
quarters. The women from all
over the world who make up the
Commission are able to draw at
tention to determinations in pres
ent laws and practices, which
would otherwise escape notice,
and discern them in new text
being prepared by organs of u.N.
and its Specialized Agencies.
1t is encouraging that SO coun-
tries have already given women
equal rights with men in the po-
litical field. The latest-Costa
Rica-succeeded in 1949. A very
spirited debate developed in the
Commission around recommended
ions to help 20 other countries.
The false assumption that men
only are responsible for earning
the family income and that all
women are provided for in this
way has led to anomalies i'm the
laws affecting the economic life
of nations. Apart from the injus-
tice of paying less for the same
work because it is performed by
a woman, there is a growing con-
sciousness among men that such
practices create a pool of cheap
labor which is a threat to wage
standards. Moreover, many thou
sands of women have the same
family responsibilities as men. The
task of the Commission in advis-
ing ways of achieving equal pay
for equal work is therefore taken
very seriously.
One of the most important SUBJ
jects before the Commission was
that of the education of women.
Valuable information on this has
been gathered from governments
by the U.N. Secretariat and, with
the help of Unesco and the lilo,
the Commission hopes to present
some positive recommendations to
the Economic and Social Council.
This has a special Importance,
since no nation rises higher than
its womenhood. All plans to help
the less developed territories, |
therefore, will be seriously ham,
pered of girls and women do not |
share equally with boys and men |
in the educational opportunities :
provided.
The right of women to retain or
choose their own nationality and
TO be able to transmit it to their
chilren on the same terms as
men was considered by the Com
mission as an urgent matter. No
nation can ensure nationality
rights for all persons within its
territory unless other nations
adopt similar laws. There was
strong support for an international
agreement on this matter.
Early laws, giving daughter
the right to inherit property and
retain control of it after marriage,
were among the first to recognize
married women as persons in their
own right. Turkish women have
had this right for over 1000 years.
In Switzerland and elsewhere, the
civil law provides that, unless
other arrangements are made at
the time of the marriage, joint
ownership of proprty after mar
riage is the law. In spite of this,

in many countries property dis
ordinations still exist. Exact in
formation on the property rights
of married women was sought by
the Commission.
These and other subjects under
discussion are all part of the U.N.
program of fundamental human
rights, the achievement of which
will play 40 small part in the up
ward climb of humanity toward
a higher standard of living.

Rent Bill Passed,
Assures Controls
Until Years End

WASHINGTON (LPA) - If
your residence is under federal
rent controls now, you can re-
main protected until Dec. %,
1850, under terms of the federal
rent control law approved by
House and Senate well before
the June 80 expiration of the
present regulations.
In addition, communities can
vote to ask the federal govern
ment to maintain controls for an
additional six months until
June 80, 1851.
The House and Senate ap-
proved the compromise meas
ure June 81, despite the bitter
fight of the real estate lobby to
kill all controls. Congress, which
is the "city council" for the
voteless residents of the Dis
trict of Columbia, is expected to
vote companion bill to cover
Washington. II will give the City
Commissioners, the three men
appointed by the President to
run the city the right to ask for
a six-month extension beyond
the end of 1850.

GENEVA, Switzerland (LPA)
Amy persons or nations who
make their plans on the basis of
an expected economic collapse
of the United States are doomed
to disappointment" US. Secre-
tary of Labor Maurice j. Tobin
told the annual conference of
the international Labor Organ
ization June 21.
81 do not believe we will ever
again experience a major de-
preston such as we had in the
early 30's" Tobin said. He sup
ported his statement by citing
the social advances made by the
US since 1888, mentioning spe-
officially old age and survivors
insurance, free public employ
ment service, unemployment in
surance, insurance of bank de-
posits, minimum wage and hour
laws, agricultural price supports
and such developments as IVA.
The recession of 1949 was the
''first significant test of the sta
bjlity of the postwar economy" !"
Tobin declared. Because that
test was met successfully, he ex-
pressed confidence that America
is assured of a substantial de-
gree" of economic stability.
American workers now en-
Joy a living standard 40 percent
better than the pre-war STAN
dard, Tobin said. Moreover, he
added, the U. S. has Joined

CIO Supports
Guild Strike

Members of the CIO Press and
Public Relations Directors Con-
ference, meeting in New York
City June 1913, voted unani-
mously in favor of the following
resolution supporting the Ameri-
can Newspaper Guild strike at
the World Telegram and Sun:
''The World Telegram and Sun
unit of the Newspaper Guild of
New York (CIO) has been fore
ed to strike this newspaper OF
the Scripps-Howard chain in a
fight for adequate wages, job
and union security, and improv-
ed working conditions.
"The unit was forced to strike
after three months of fruitless
negotiations, and after concilia-
ton efforts failed.
"This is not merely a strike
against one paper of the Scripps-
Howard chain; it is strike in
volving fundamental principles.
Without security, a union and
its members face defamation.
Aligned against the News
paper Guild of New York (CIO)
and its members are the organ
lied publishers of New York
City, as well as the power and
financial backing of the rest of
the Scripps-Howard chain.
"The bricks of Barclay Street
may well prove to be the testing
ground for an enlarged assault
on all labor.
Labor in New York City has
been quick to rally to the sup
port of the strikers. Members OF
other unions are not crossing the
Guild picket lines.
Accordingly, The CIO Press
and Public Relations Conference,
meeting in New York City June
17-18, pledges its full support
to the embattled strikers of the
New York World-Telegram and
Sun, and calls on all union mem
bers to provide full support to
this crucial battle so that the
union may endure"
