Russians are not the only ones who get fat. Hard work or not, the number of female wage earners in the Soviet Union is growing steadily. One of the main reasons for it is money. A woman who lays bricks on a construction site will bring home as much as 180 rubles ($200) a month compared with 120 to 150 rubles for a young engineer with more than 16 years of education. Since there is no discrimination in pay between men and women, a working wife can more than double a family- income.

Yet, In liberating women from medieval sexual discrimination in jobs, the Soviets have not liberated them from the duties of wife, mother and keeper age-ol- d of hearth and home.

But scientists within the Defense Department, whose ships observe the Soviet tests in the Pacific, maintain that either side might advantageously deploy Its weapon without further tests. Doubts about accuracy would be compensated Furthermore by the these scientists insist it is possible to test without detection because the tests do not involve nuclear explosions. So the hard line position on the MIRV question is that this country has only on practical choice, to insist on an agreement which prohibits deployment and gives access to men with screwdrivers who can look inside the missiles to ensure that the ugly nests are not there. Many veterans of disarmament negotiations argue it is futile to bring up again the question of inspection. The Soviets will never agree, they say, and the talks will be stymieid. Why go back to thestalemate of the 1950s? But the thinking which prevails within multi-warhead- s. on-sit- e the Nixon administration is that things have changed. The privacy and secrecy which the Russians cherish have been ruthlessly eroded by the spy satellites. Whereas in the old days some 30,000 inspectors might have been needed to enforce a nuclear agreement, small teams can now do the job because satellite pictures can tell them where to look. Moreover it is felt that the Soviets may be anxious enough to cap the costs of the arms rare to swallow their dise Andrei taste for inspection. Gromyko's recent speech had a ring, familiar to Americans, of urgent desire to transform military priorities into advances on the domestic front If this analysis is correct, the talks could move past the ABM and MIRV toward the notion of a freeze upon the purchase and deployment of all new weaponry. There again the government ' divides between those who would go as fast as the Soviets are willing to move and those who maintain it will be wiser to end this first round with a tidy package which can be supervised closely enough to build confidence on both sides. on-sit- Long Tangles With Teddy Over Tax Reforms and JACK ANDERSON WASHINGTON Senate Finance Chairman Russell Long erupted like a psher in his native Louisiana tidelands when he first learned about Sen. Ted Kennedys plan to introduce a comprehensive tax reform program. Ever since Kennedy dethroned him as Senate Democratic whip, Long has bristled at even the mention of Kennedys , name. So when Long found that Kennedy was meddling with taxes he really, blew his' top. Taxes are the sole prerogative of the Senate Finance Committee. nd, ;ht by ft n : Snorting fire, Long accosted Kennedy in.the'Senate Democratic cloakroom the other day.. Breaking into a conversation between Kennedy and Iowas Sen. Harold Hughes, Long informed Kennedy testily that his tax proposals would never get the approval of the Finance Committee. Si that event, replied Kennedy, he would bring them up on the Senate floor as amendments to the tax bill. . L6ng asked derisively how many times Kennedy had been able to override the appointed committees on the Senate chance to head off reforms at this date is in the Senate, where the bill can be adorned with obscure clauses that will save their tax benefits. It is largely up to Long to protect the tax loopholes. The oil and gas industry in particular is counting upon him. Long is a big stockholder in the Win or Lose Oil Company whose shares sell for $25,000. The oil boys were jolted by the 7 per cent reduction voted by the House Ways and Means Committee, which previously had operated as a branch office of the oti industry. Long gave the Senate Democratic Policy Committee a preview of his strategy during a recent closed-doo- r hassle over taxes. He argued at length that one Congress loopholes were an, i other Congress reforms. While a great deal of attention Is presently focused on the dosing of loopholes, he said, I can point to countless provisions of the tax law which prior ti -- EY ndy J nne- - ' J its p . ied outb ., they realize that a tax reform bill heading down the main track, straight to the House floor. They will be unable to sabotage the bill on the floor. Under the closed rule on tax measures, the House must accept or reject the entire reform bill. The outcry from ' middie-incom- e Americans for tax reforms will make it dangerous for any congressman to vote against the bill. V As a result, the lobbyists are suddenly swarming like summer tourists on the did was :pla- - big th ,a give How many have you won?" demanded Long. His language was too explosive to be printed here. The sparks quickly spread through the Senates backrooms, and a friend asked Long what hs had said. I told Kennedy to fly a kite, said the senator from Louisiana. Then he flashed the impish grin that has become a Long trademark and added: But I toed language that would be understood on the Louislana wharves.

And in the rapid type which attacks children there is no proof of it, but only a not suspicion raised because some in all instances clusters of cases, half a dozen or so, seem to have occurred in the same locality. We do not yet know the cause of either type of leukemia. We cannot say positively that either is contagious.
