9A Minneapolis Tribune Mar. 5,1972 Soviet Union agrees to conduct world championship chess match in 2 cities Report asks new status for government women it Z5b ages discrimination." Ms. Kayden said the two main reactions among both males and females involved "a tremendous feeling of impotence." She explained: "People either asked what he or she as a single force could do about such a big problem, or if a study could really help since all it takes is direction from above," Reykjavik, Iceland, which was Spassky's first choice, represented a compromise after the two players had failed to agree on a single city. The compromise had been proposed by Dr. Max Euwe, chairman of the World Chess Federation, under international rules that give him the right to fix a championship site if the two sides do not reach agreement.

The Soviet Union declared at first that it did not feel itself bound by Euwe's ruling on the ground that he had previously violated regulations by extending a deadline for submission of preferred match sites by Fischer. However, the Soviet Chess Federation relented after Euwe had traveled to Moscow last week in an apparent attempt to persaude the Russians to agree to the compromise. A Soviet statement, made public by the official press agency, Tass, said the Rus- Xandra Kayden Wi Ma iKlffeft 4s: 4i I It Ite ml srT1 i vi i 'Mz i iv Lrj The Christian Science Monitor News Service Cambridge, Mass. There's a spirited little woman temporarily lucked away at a Harvard graduate school who may have done more to feminize the United States government than any other woman. As founder and former director of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's (HEW) Women's Action Program, Xandra Kayden has used the best of both her feminist and feminine background to bring attention to the status of women in government.

The result: An impressive report already heralded by HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson as "a mandate for change." Ms. Kayden earned her femininefeminist reputation while she was promoter and committee director of IIEW's official study of women in government. Her 20-member committee (only one male) also examined the impact of various federal programs on American women. Based on women employed by HEW, the resulting report made many bold recommendations. Among them: Disability benefits and social-security compensation based on unpaid housework for women.

A five-year federal goal of increasing the number of women dentists and doctors. Emphasis on developing male contraceptives. Legislation to bar sex discrimination in school admissions and by federal contractors. Government-subsidized adoptions. "The report sets forth an agenda of positive action to help overcome the cumulative effects of America's historical, culturally rooted abridgment of opportunities for women," the document's foreword says.

After releasing the report in January, Richardson called for "an over -all change in the treatment of women in our society." He added that all HEW agency heads should follow Its recommendations whenever possible. The government's positive response to the study can be traced back to Ms. Kayden, who despite a strong liberal leaning, as displayed during her leadership activity in the Columbia University protests of 1968, is a diplomat in dealings with her more conservative government teammates. For example, to ensure representative views and further interest in the report, she sought the opinions of government officials as high as the chief White House domestic-affairs adviser, John D. Er-lichman.

Despite her thoroughness, the i a of her committee's report, she asserts "is not what's in it, but just that it exists. "I don't think the report offered any great shocks since the issues we covered are fairly obvious. "What will make the difference is the momentum and pressure of the report. Once the higher officials respond, the difference will be made on the lower levels and on the outside," she said. Then, describing the committee's approach, she added, "You can make all the laws you want, but unless basic attitudes are changed, legislation won't do any good." Accordingly, the toughest job during the six-month study was in dealing with attitudes and "the unrecognized subtleties of sex sians were ready in principle to discuss the two-city compromise although they continued to contend that the compromise was contrary to established procedure of playing the 24-game match in a single city.
