LAW GIVES WOMEN CREDIT

Pieces...

(AP) -A rule designed to make sure divorced and widowed women have fair access to credit was put into effect this summer by the Federal Reserve Board.

Credit card companies will be required to mail out letters with their bills in the next few months describing to married couples their rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The credit companies must record information about a married couple ir the names of both spouses if one requests it,

This provision is the result of the 1974 law banning discrimination by marital status in the granting of credit.

The Federal Reserve said the law gives married people the right to have credit information included in credit reports in the name of both the wife and the husband if both use or are responsible for the account. "This right was created, in part, to insure that credit histories will be available to women who become divorced or widowed," the Federal Reserve said.

The Federal Reserve spokesperson said the rule applies to open-ended credit accounts, in which people can add to their accounts at will. It would not affect department store accounts which are opened to pay off a few purchases.

WOMAN SUES BOSS FOR ADVANCES

NEW YORK (LNS) A woman harassed on the job because she refused the sexual advances of her boss can file a civil rights lawsuit, a Federal Court of Appeals ruled on July 30,

The Federal Court of Appeals for the District of columbia reversed a lower court ruling that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not cover the case. This decision adds a new catagory to Civil Rights lawsuits, but does not necessarily ensure favorable rulings in the lengthy court process.

The recent ruling involved the case of Paulette Barnes. Shortly after she began working at the Environmental Protection Agency, she charged her boss with seeking an "after-hours affair." He continually suggested that her employment status would be enhanced if she cooperated.

After she refused him, her job was eliminated and she was assigned to another part of the agency.

UPDATE ON THE SILKWOOD CASE (HerSay) -An attorney for the family of Karen Silkwood, the young plutonium plant worker who died in a mysterious car crash two and a half years ago, says he has uncovered documented evidence that three former FBI Cointelpro operators were deeply involved in the Silkwood case.

The FBI's counterintelligence program, known as Cointelpro, was a secret nationwide disruptive operation conducted against women's groups, black and antiwar activists in the late '60's and early '70's. Silkwood was killed in 1974 when her car crashed as she was reportedly carrying documents relating to nuclear safety violations at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant in Okalhoma. Those alleged documents disappeared immediately after Silkwood's death, leading some investigators to charge she may have been forced off the road so that they could be retrieved.

Attorney Dan Sheehan of Washington, D.C., has filed a $160,000 damage suit on behalf of the Silkwood family. He now reports that he has obtained evidence that three persons named in the sult, FBI agents Larry Olsen and Theodore Rosack, and admitted Bureau informant Jacque Srouji, were all experienced Cointelpro agents.

According to Sheehan, agent Larry Olsen, the chief FBI investigator in the Silkwood case, was previously involved in the illegal wiretapping of the

hotel room of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. during King's visits to Nashville in the 1960's.

Sheehan claims to have discovered that the second agent, Theodore Rosack, has been linked to FBI "black bag jobs" conducted against hundreds of citizens in the Denver area last year. Rosack reportedly masterminded the attempted coverup of the Denver break-ins committed by a Bureau informant named Timothy Redfearn.

Sheehan states that Jacque Srouji has admitted during pretrial questioning that she served as a Bureau infiltrator of antiwar groups during the 1960's.

In addition, Srouji is quoted by Sheehan as reporting that Silkwood's bedroom was secretly bugged by her employers while she was alive. Investigators in the Silkwood case discovered bits of plutonium in Silkwood's apartment, and even on food inside her refrigerator. No one knows how or why the contamination occurred.

WOMEN IN STOCK MARKET

(Her Say) -Should women handle the money in a family? The President of the Women's Stockbrokers Association contends that women might be better than men are when it comes to taking risks in the stock market.

Myrna Liebowitz explains that men "refuse to admit they made a mistake buying a stock and hold on to it despite tremendous losses." Men, she says, "allow their emotions to control their market decisions." Women, on the other hand, "are more calculating in their market dealings."

PENTAGON SUBSIDIZES ABORTIONS (Guardian, Sept, 1977)--Apparently the Carter administration's "moral scruples" against providing Medicaid funds for abortion do not apply to funding abortions for military personnel and their dependents.

A Defense Department spokesman has reported that the Pentagon is continuing to subsidize abortions at military installations when required for medical reasons or for reasons of mental health. Military personnel and their dependents can also continue to receive Pentagon funds for elective abortions performed at nonmilitary health care facilities. An August 4 order by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare ended Medicaid abortion payments for the general public except to save the mother's life.

Approximately 25,000 abortions were funded by the Pentagon last year.

WOMEN OFTEN VICTIMS OF JOKES

**

(Her Say) University of Wisconsin researcher Joanne Cantor says she has tested students and found that both sexes think jokes are funnier when women are the butts of the story.

Cantor says that in two separate studies, she tested men and women with alternate versions of the same jokes. One version put down the male, the other put down the female.

The researcher says that not only did both men and women think the versions which put down the female were funnier, but that the female listeners actually laughed even more than the males when women were the butt of the joke.

One of the most popular jokes was the following: A movie actor whose autobiography had just been published, was asked by an actress, "I saw your new book. Who wrote it for you? The actor replied, "I'm glad you enjoyed it. Who read it to you?"

Cantor says that women laugh at themselves, even when they are the victims of a joke, because in our society, men with sarcastic comebacks are considered witty or clever. A woman, she says, who makes the same comment is perceived as "bitchy and bitter".
