(By Associated Press)

German reports up to noon today state the invaders are tightening their grip on Norway by continued troop arrivals to reinforce the ex- peditionary forces and Norwegian vessels in all ports are being selzed and manned by the Nazi forces.
 No explanation as to how rein forcements are reaching Norway IS given since the British and French have mined the sea lanes between Germany and Scandinavia.
 Invaders Are Flying
 Some troops, however, are already known to have been flown to the Norwegian Kingdom.
 Norwegian resistance to the Ger man invasion appears to be stiffen- ing, according to all reports.
 Great Britain, relying heavily on her air force, is bent on every effort to bottle up the Nazi fleet, not only of warships but of troop ships.
 Chieftains on Ground
 It is reliably reported that Hitler's chieftains have landed by air in Norway and will immediately take full charge of the invasion forces.
 The Germans are reported to have strengthened their position around Oslo.
 There are indications the Norweg- ians are establishing new defense lines and mapping out guerilla war fare to harrass the invaders.

 Politics: My admiration for James J. Sweeney continues to mount. MT. Sweeney, you remem- Der, is the man in the Attorney Generals office who upset the Dis trict of Columbias taxation sys- tenn because he was willing to do legal battle for two years and spend thousand dollars or so getting back 88 cents the District had illegally assessed him.

Johnny, don't annoy the dog
 don't go near the curb . . don't play with that boy again. ;
 Johnnys mother uses m n y "dont's" and dos" It's an easy habit to fall into It takes less time and effort to say don't than to explain things to child, es- pecially when a parent is busy with household tasks.
 As result of his mothers hur- ried and minimizing "don'ts,' John ny is beginning to feel that Mother Is a commanding policeman and he is a prisoner in her keeping.
 Gee, Mother doesn't let me have any fun at all,' is his way of put ting it. He feels insecure and un- safe. He is afraid to heed the call of his friends to play ball, because Mother has warned him not to come home messed up.
 When Johnny starts thinking in this manner, he is beginning to think of things in the wrong light. His approach is becoming = like his mother's-one of don't" in- stead of do"
 Other children, unlike Johnny, re- act in a different manner. They rebel and commit the acts they have been warned against because they know that such acts are for bidden. To such children, Mother is tyrant because of her unex- plained "don't's"-and tyranny de- mandS rebellion.
 The habit of giving a child an explanation instead of a curt, commanding don't may be lit tie difficult to form at first. How ever, it becomes habit after prac- tice, and gives both parent and child a greater sense of satisfaction.

POWERFUL STORY ON
 COLISEUM SCREEN TO
 END THIS EVENING

A truisfn in show business Is play Hamlet" At last the prover- bial exception has been found, he is Charlie Ruggles, who is seen at the Coliseum Theatre ih the Para mount drama Invitation to Happi- neSS,' which co-stars Irene Dunne and Fred MacMurray and has it's final showing tonight.
 Charlie definitely does not want to play the melancholy Dane, nor any other tragic Shakespearean character for that matter. Charlie explained to an interviewer that he likes a serious role occasionally, such as the one in his latest pie ture, in which he portrays pessi- mistic fight manager.
 Fred MacMurray is the fighter. And Charlie manages him well Ex- cept once. That's the time Fred elopes with Irene Dunne. And then the fun beginsl But laughter soon gives way to tears, for Fred has to go away to train for a series of important bouts.
 Invitation to Happiness" is an unusual picture, in that though there is an excellent ring scene with Fred getting the worst of it, the film is definitely not fight picture. The story is really the dra- matic conflict between a man and his wife, between his ambitions and her desire for happy, normal home life.
