Swack- Chesher (right) are wearing centennial costumes for this While Wifie Wields Power Tools Russian Hubby Irons His Aprons By PETER BUCKLEY MOSCOW (CP) -- Every Westerner has undoubtedly seen a photograph of lumpy- looking Soviet women sweat- ing away on a road-building crew. What they haven't seen are pictures of Soviet men in aprons. Militant feminists have rea- son to complain about the pic- torial imbalance, because a candid camera on a tour of Soviet homes would undoubt- edly show the aprons doing a lot of double duty. With the great majority of women holding down outside jobs, the male in the Soviet Union is increasingly being required to give a hand around the home. Like his Western counter- art, however, the Soviet hus- nd is often accused of shirking. Nearly 50 years of complete legal equality between the sexes still finds the wife with the toughest row to hoe, according to many irate wives here. A pair of articles in sep- arate Moscow newspapers turned an unusually vivid spotlight on the current state "of domestic affairs as viewed from both sides. WOMEN ARE WINNING "Women have more rights . than ever today,"" male corre- spondent E. Parkhomovsky wrote almost peevishly in the government newspaper Izves- tia. "They often earn more money than men, hold higher positions than men and can outdo the men in many re- spects. "They have not yet established a complete matriarchy. We sitll hold the reins, But tomorrow! ... I have no doubt that tomorrow they will get every privilege imaginable. . . ."" He predicted grumpily that women 'will soon be demand- ing that we go out shopping after the office, cook dinner, as well as doing the mending, washing, ironing and baby-sit- ting." But there's every indication that the offended correspond- ent's predictions have already been overtaken by reality. Judging by the number of hangdog males lined up in every Moscow grocery store for bread and other necessi- ties, a good many husbands are already under the gun. KITCHEN IS KEY The other commentator, a woman named Larissa Kuznetsova, wrote with bare- ly concealed satisfaction in Literaturnaya Gazetta: "Women no longer think about surprising their hus- band by cooking a tasty din- ner. More often they surprise him by not cooking at all." Terming the kitchen the key to much of the problem, she said: "To solve a question as complex as that of female labor, we should begin with the needs of our society and the nature of women and mothers, We should not begin with a general concern about a deserted kitchen. "The kitchen under the new system will belong to anyone who wants to eat." It ded like an i forecast for the Soviet male, but it may be inevitable. An estimated 75 per cent of adult women hold down jobs in the Soviet Union and they make up fully half of the labor force. More women than men go through secondary school and they emerge to dominate such fields as the health serv- ices and education, banking and clerical work. Even in the building indus- try about one-third of the workers are women.

One of Moscow's working mothers told me that her hus- band "looks after the two children, helps with laundry and dishes and does most of the shopping." He even sews missing but- tons on his shirts. The only thing he doesn't do regularly is the cooking, although he will take over the' kitchen occasionally to pre- pare a fried-fish meal which is his speciality. "T can't say that he likes all that nonsense--the kitchen and all that," the wife said. "He does these jobs more out of necessity than out of love like a mother's, But he does them in the end, with perhaps a bit of urging." Even with the husband's increasing help, how do so (Left to Right) the Mission Circle of the First Baptist Church. many working wives man- age? The answer in most cases is the babushka--the grand- | mother. She may be a real | grandmother or she may be | just an elderly aunt or otherr relative--or even an active woman who doesn't want to remain idle on her govern- ment pension. Children who aren't sent to state-run nurseries and kin- dergartens are raised by babushkas. The little old ladies in head scarves and ankle-length dresses are an everyday sight in stores, on streets and around apartment entrances. They shop, cook, clean and--most often, it seems--get together to gos- sip. Despite the long-standing female siege of male privi- lege, some areas of Soviet life remain refuges of masculini- ty.
