ONSCIENCES within South Africa

as well as outside the country have
been stirred by recent bloodshed and
racial violence. The call for sweeping
changes in the present apartheid sys-
tem has come from no.less a figure
than the: deputy leader of the* Ver-
woerd ‘government, Lands | Minister
‘Sauer, - oe

In ‘a public speech, Mr. Sauer ex-
pressed ‘the opinion that the: Sharpe- ,

government will have to improve its -
‘relations. with the natives, he - said. .
Sensing also that South Africa may. be
disowned as an outcast among nations,

EQUALITY CAUSES ARGUMENT -

 

work should a man, particularly. an army
officer, do in the Soviet Union, a country which
boasts of its equality for women and where
“halt. of the working population is female.

“Men - ‘and women here are: taking sides in
an argument in which some ‘say that the men
should ‘roll:up their sleeves in the home and
others declare: that housework, at least for
an army officer; -reflects slightingly ‘on the
glory of a soldier's greatcoat.”

Opinions are being ajred in Krasnaya Zvezda
(Red Star), the Soviet army’s newspaper.

D oe fe :

A Mrs. Kurilov, wife of an army officer,
wrote to the newspaper that a neighbor, also
an army officer, had scolded her husband for
drawing water from the well, working the
washing machine and hanging out the washing.

The neighbor said that this help around
the home violated the dignity of an. officer
and traditions.

Mrs. Kurilov Jrately complalned that this
attitude was anfair, since both she and her
husband worked, shared the housework and
were then able to spend the evening together
at the movies or out for a walk,

Her complaint sparked a series of letters ,

to Krasnaya Zvezda,
