ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - Sen. Maurine Neuberger has returned from a two weeks survey of the status of women in Scandi navia singing the praises of the way the Swedes treat their women. The Oregon senator is chair man of the committi on fed eral social legislation and tax es of the president's Commis sion on the Status of Women. Her special interests in this assignment involve income tax provisions for employed women, social security bene fits, maternity leave benefits and unemployment compen sation. "I went to ask questions and found many of them irrel evant," she explained. For example, how do wom en fare in Sweden in the so cial security field? "There is a universal pen sion law which covers every one at age 67 in Sweden, Mrs. Neuberger exclaimed. Slate Builds Hornet She said in Stockholm she visited homes built by the state for the aged. She said they were "a kind of com pound," with some buildings dating back to the 17th cen tury, but all very attractive and freshly painted and well kept. "I never saw a happier, more contented aged group," she declared. "Husbands and wives have little apartments and can have friends in for tea." She said the compound was in the form of a quadrangle of buildings, which included a central dining room and a worship and craft center. The residents each had hot plates and small refrigerators in their rooms for snacks. She said the residents pay a modest rent from their pen sions, which means the gov ernment subsidizes the oper ation of the homes. Studies Child Care Mrs. Neuberger was espe cially interested in finding out what provisions are made for child care for working mothers, because she believes Congress ought to permit an income tax deduction cover ing child care for American mothers who are employed. But here again Sweden's welfare state has taken charge by providing day care centers where children can be left during working hours. Moth ers pay a small charge accord ing to their income. "There Is no need for a health care plan," she observ ed, for everyone who requires hospitalization pays his own 1 bills and then receives a cer tificate of tax deduction cov ering these hospital expenses. Sweden has no unemploy ment to speak of, according to Sen. Neuberger, and has a shortage of skilled workers. Hence, the state provides a retraining program for wom en over 40 who are returning to the labor market after rearing families. She said women were paid to go back to school taking an 8-week course in such manual skills as typing, card punching and practical nursing. The senator was most ecsta-1 tic about the "home sister" I program in which the state provided vacations for moth- j ers by supplying a practical nurse or home sister to take care of the children while the i mother went off to visit rela tives as a break from the nor mal routine of responsibility. She said this was especially suited to the needs of farm women with large families. If the mother needs a new pair of shoes or a coat for her trip, the welfare agency provides these needs, she said. "It's a marvelous country," said Sen. Neuberger of Swed en, noting that its gross na tional product and exports are rising. Traveling at her own ex pense, Mrs. Neuberger visited Denmark and Finland as well but found the trip "too short" before she had to hurry back to Washington for the Senate action on the foreign trade bill.
