By A. 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.
