ITATI-
-PHONI NO..
By Dudloy Ann Harmon
(United Press Correspondent)
London (U.R) British house
wives, who cop cheerfully with
medieval household appliances,
are displaying a rebellious
spirit against the recent high
court of appeals ruling that
what they save from housekeep
ing allowances belongs to their
husbands.
Led by Dr. Edith Summer
skill, a labor member of parlia
ment, women are planning to
present a petition for repeal of
a luw passed In 1896 and just
upheld In London.
"I have placed my resolution
before the house and, while the
struggle will he a long and hard
one, this is the first request
concerning economic status fpr
9,000,000 housewives of Its
kind," Dr. Summcrskill told the
United Press.
Dr. Summcrsklll's resolution
asks that women be guaranteed
a reasonable share In household
savings. The Married Women's
association of Britain wants
stronger action equal financial
status of wife with husband.
"If a man earns 8 a week,"
says an association official, and
4 goes for housekeeping, the
husband should divide the re
maining 2 with his wife."
The current row is the result
of an event which took place 12
years ago.
At that time Mrs. Dorothy
Blackwell, an Oxford house
wife, Joined a cooperative so
ciety with money saved by tak
ing in lodgers. She did all the
work for the boarders herself.
When she separated from her
husband In 1841, an Oxford
Judge ruled that the 100 she
saved in the cooperative be
longed to her husband. His de
cision was upheld at a court of
appeals trial in London last
month.
In handing down the ruling,
three men Judges opined that,
if a housewife were allowed to
appropriate savings from her
allowance, she might skimp on
her husband's food. They al
leged that, if this were to be
come law, husbands would be
fearful of giving their wives
more than the minimum
amount.
The British housewife dis
agrees. "I think husband and wife
should share equally," said four
out of five wlmen I stopped on
London streets today.
The Morrled Women's associa
tion and the newspapers have
been deluged with' irate letters
from housewives since the rul
ing. A typical one says, "If
housewife can use her talent to
scrimp even a shilling a week
from her allowance, she de
serves not only that shilling,
but a halo."
A British housewife slaves
twice as long and hard bS her
American counterpart. I know,
because with the lack of war
time molds, I've become one.
My flat is in the most modern
part of London, but In my spare
time I struggle with a "geyser,"
supposed to heat water but apt
to go temperamental. I haul
my garbage down three flights
of stairs there's no lift. I
make my fires, instead of de
pending on central heating, and
clear away the ashes.
Tha repeal of the 18SS law Is
only one phase of a "blanket
bill" women hope to see parlia
ment pass, abolishing 30 dis
criminatory acts against their
sex. Praised by men for their
heroic part In the war effort,
they resent being paid less than
men on the same war job los
ing their citizenship when they
morry foreigners and other
discriminatory rulings.

"I could spend a month In this
place," stated a studious looking
corporal. "Did you know that an
Australold race, descended from
a Jopanese tribe, once lived on
this coast? Somebody kicked 'em
out, and It took 2000 years for
'cm to come back so we could
kick 'em out again."
