The Salina Journal Sunday, July 28, 1985 Page 6 Liberation differs for world's women NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) For Western women, it's equal pay for equal work or a salary for domestic chores. In the Third World, it's clean water and, at least in one country, the right to vote. For the women of the world, 14,000 of whom met in Nairobi to assess the progress of sexual equality over the past 10 years, liberation meant different things. The diversity was expressed over the past couple weeks at a sometimes raucous, sometimes bureaucratic gathering called the U.N. Decade for Women Conference, and an overlapping non-governmental forum.

The conference came to an end beyond its deadline early Saturday morning formally ending the U.N. Decade for Women that began in Mexico City. The wrangling at the session entailed ideologies and political issues more than it did specific women's issues. But the meeting produced a final document entitled "Forward-Looking Stategies," approved only after compromise that deleted wording that equated Zionism and racism. The document was approved by consensus.

The U.S. delegation earlier had registered no votes on sections involving apartheid, Palestinian women and international economics. The United States objected to the apartheid section because it called for assistance to women involved in national liberation movements. But the conference dealt as well Countdown begins for Challenger CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The countdown started Saturday for Challenger's once-aborted science mission after the launch team cleansed troublesome.

air from the space shuttle's hydraulic fluid system. "Hopefully we'll depart more expeditiously than last time," said astronaut Gordon Fullerton, commander of the seven-man crew that came within three seconds of liftoff July 12. The astronauts spoke with reporters after flying here Saturday from their training base in Houston. The countdown began at 8 a.m. CDT, aiming for liftoff at 2:23 p.m.

Monday. A problem with excess air in the ship's hydraulic fluid had threatened to delay the flight 24 hours but technicians worked through the night to bleed out the air by circulating the fluid through a machine on the launch pad. The fluid is used to activate moving parts on the shuttle, including valves and wing flaps. "Crews did a fantastic job overnight," said NASA spokesman Hugh Harris. "All the work is done on the hydraulic system and the only leftover work is to close out the aft (engine) compartment." Dogs not suited for distance runs CHICAGO (AP) Dogs are better suited for chasing mailmen instead of rnarathoners, and just might drop dead during a dog day afternoon jog, a veterinarian says.

"If you're talking half a block or so, they can run like the devil but they're not marathon runners," said Dr. Robert Keough, head of the Cook County Department of Animal Control. Running in hot, muggy weather is especially hard on fat old dogs, just as it is on flabby humans, Keough said in a telephone interview Saturday. Unlike people, canines can't cool off by sweating. Dogs release body heat only through their paws or by panting.

"These poor dogs, that tongue looks like it's 3 yards long by the time they get done," Keough said. "They just collapse after a race." Even if they survive, dogs may have some aches and pains. "I've seen people take a dog, make a house pet out of it 11 months a year, then one month a year take the dog out and literally run the pads off the dog," Keough said. "I've treated a lot of sore feet," he added. People who insist on running with their dogs should consult a veterinarian first, he said.

"Do like you would with a person get a physical checkup, condition them and get them ready for it," he said. "But if they're not conditioned to run, don't do it." with more day-to-day matters in women's lives. A Swedish delegate said her country was well on its way to creating a "new man" who will happily share in child care and housework. "He's at the end of the tunnel," said Ylva Ericsson, who reported that men in Sweden are now given nine months of paid parental leave so they can share the joys and diaper changes with the newborn's mother. While the conference was under way, the highest Islamic lawmaking authority in the Persian Gulf state of Kuwait denied women the right to vote.

"There's no justification for women to demand the vote," the decree said. "Islam does not permit women to forfeit their basic commitments" of bearing and raising children. Overall, the conference secretary- general, Leticia Shahani of the Philippines, said there were legal advances for women. She cited as a major achievement the signing by 76 countries of the U.N. convention on the elimination of discrimination against women.

But some victories for women were hollow. The head of Djibouti's delegation to the conference, Saida Hassan, complained that se'x-equality legislation in her conservative Moslem country on the Horn of Africa were mere cosmetic devices that failed to bring genuine change. "Traditions in the Third World dictate that the birth of a girl is not welcome the repeated birth of girls is viewed as grounds for divorce," she said. Girls in Djibouti still "receive little or no education and become pregnant too early," she added. "Women are left to form the bulk of the destitute, often falling victim to prostitution." While more countries promised equality, the number of illiterate women in the world is still getting bigger, they still work longer hours for less pay than men and remain the world's largest group of poor people, said the U.N.

State of the World's Women Report. Shahani agreed that achievements had fallen below expectations. But she told reporters: "Do not underestimate the decade because it did not achieve everything." She pointed to what she called its biggest victory: "Making visible the world's silent majority the women." The 10 summers since the U.N. Decade for Women began with a conference in Mexico City have provided women with forums where they forced their voices to be heard, Shahani added. The conference saw a spectrum of outlooks and goals as diverse as the women who attended.

While the Netherlands' state secretary for social services, Annielien Kappeyne van de Coppello, denounced discrimination against lesbians, Kenyan legislator Phoebe Asiyo said real liberation for African women is "clean water near their homes." Specialist Story Musgrave says goodbye to his family. Shuttle managers had decided Friday to start the countdown on time, hoping to resolve the problem while the count went ahead. The fluid-cleansing operation, however, was completed several hours sooner than anticipated. Challenger's first launch attempt on the mission was aborted when a computer sensed that a coolant valve in engine No. 2 had not closed properly and commanded all three engines to shut down after they had ignited.

During seven days in orbit, the astronauts, including five scientists, are to operate a $78 million set of instruments, most of them mounted in Challenger's cargo bay. Most, including several telescopes, are designed to study the stars, sun and galaxies. Others will probe Earth's atmosphere and the human body. The scientists are geophysicist Anthony England, astronomer Karl Henize, solar physicist Loren Acton, astrophysicist John-David Bartoe and medical doctor Story Musgrave. Roy Bridges is the pilot.

Women from places as disparate as Mogadishu in Somalia and Kykotsmovi in Arizona agreed on resolutions equating prostitution with slavery and on urging governments to include the value of housework in their gross national product. But the meeting nonetheless was overshadowed by divisive political issues that brought near ruin to the two other U.N. women's conferences, in Mexico City in 1975 and Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980.

There were emotion-charged arguments over Zionism, the plight of Palestinian refugee women, and South Africa's system of race separation. Maureen Reagan, U.S. delegation head and daughter of President Reagan, told a news conference that fundamentalist religious views from countries like Iran "where you're stoned to death if you're unmarried and pregnant" considerably weakened a resolution urging governments to give social benefits to unmarried mothers. Alongside the official conference ran a buzzing, colorful and eventful series of non-governmental workshops and seminars that discussed more than a hundred issues a day. They ranged from female circumcision and Asian "sex tours" by Japanese businessmen to bride burning in India over dowry disputes Women cried with black South African refugees, denounced wars, wrote poems on a large paper peace globe and joined hands to sing: "We are the women of the world." Soviet woman, 29, defects to Norway OSLO, Norway (AP) A 29-year- old Soviet woman defected by jumping from a cruise ship visiting a Norwegian island near the Arctic Circle, swimming to land, and walking four days without food and water, authorities said Friday.

They said she defected last weekend as the cruise ship Maxim Gorky visited Norway's Spitzbergen Island between the Arctic Circle and Norway. The island is part of the Svalbard archipelago. The woman was found Thursday night. The woman, identified only as a member of the ship's catering staff, walked four days before a Norwegian man found her, said Erik Framstad, a spokesman at the Svalbard governor's office. Framstad said the woman was "very cold and completely exhausted" when found, and was recovering at a hospital in Long- yearbyen.

Information on Hudson blocked PARIS (AP) The hospital where film star and AIDS victim Rock Hudson is staying says it will not release any information on his condition until Monday. The American Hospital in Paris on Saturday imposed a weekend news blackout on the 59-year-old Hudson, who also has an unidentified liver problem. Hospital officials Saturday would not reveal Hudson's condition. A terse communique on Friday listed him as "stable." There has been no medical information on Hudson since his spokeswoman, Yanou Collart, revealed in a statement Thursday he had been diagnosed as having AIDS more than a year ago. On Saturday Collart's office said the actor had received hundreds of letters and telegrams.

Hudson was admitted to the hospital July 21, the day after he came to Paris to consult with specialists on AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. The affliction makes the body's immune system unable to resist disease. If You Can Hear But Don't Understand Kenneth J.
