COPENHAGEN, Jan. 15.-Official
quarters in Norway and Sweden
today took a serious view of rela-
tions with Russia after a Soviet
air raid on Sweden's Kallaks Island
and Russia's publication of a diplo-
matte exchange with the two ma
tions.
Russia accused Sweden and Nor
way of unneutrality by aiding Fin
land and declared Swedish and Nor
wegian replies to her protest were
not entirely satisfactory.
The Swedish press said publica-
ton of the exchange was not only
violation of international GUS
tom but was strikingly similar to
Soviet dealings with Finland i'm
mediately prior to the Soviet in
vasion.
Sweden declared all aid to the
Firms had been of an entirely pri-
vate nature and that Swedish SYM
pathy for their embattled neighbors
was natural.
Protest to Be Made.
The Swedish foreign office said
protest naturally" would be made
to Russia against the raid on Kali
laks Island but would not say
whether such action had been taken
yet, as some sources reported.
In Oslo, Foreign Minister Halv-
dan Koht issued a statement en-
phasizing Norway's neutrality. say
ing that the Norwegian reply must
be fully satisfactory to the Soviet
government.
Norwegian sympathy for the Firms
is natural, he said, and based on
opposition to any violent policy"
The reported aerial attack, cou-
pied with renewed Red Army blows
at Finland and signs of strain be-
tween Moscow and the Scandi-
navian nations, indicated to OBJ
sewers here that Russia was ready
for new major effort against the
Firms.
New Offensive Seen Ready.

Power development, the President
declared, was only a part-"ano
ultimately only a small part"-ol
the social and economic effort In
the Tennessee watershed.
With his message he transmitted
a study prepared by T. v. A. on
recreational possibilities in the area
The report, signed by Harcourt A
Morgan, chairman, called attention
to the fact that T. v. AS lakes
had supplied the region with 1.-The
one element which nature omitted
from an otherwise lavish recrea-
tional endowment"
Mr.. Morgan said in a letter to
the President that the T. v. A. Act
'of"~1933 authorized a study Of the
region from a recreational view
point. but that the T. v. A. Board
still lacked power to carry out its
own recommendation. He sug-
gested that Congress grant T. v. A.
this additional power.
Other Agencies to Be Used.
Such powers" the report said
should include authority to con-
struct and operate recreation facili-
ties on property acquired in con-
nection with the primary purposes
of the water control program; to
utilize the work relief resources of
such agencies as the N. Y. A., w

the fundamental program. and, at
least during trial period in which
management problems and public
demand can be more fully explored
to operate recreation facilities de-
veloped under the program, either
directly or through system OF
carefully supervised concessions.
In the report the Authority said
it recognized the probable future
promotion of the T. v. A. by pri-
vate interests and also by State
and local governments. and added
There appears to be no need fol-
a program that is exclusively pub
lie or exclusively private or for one
that is wholly Federal or wholly
local. The extent of the reservoir
system and the great variety OF
recreation demands upon it allow
for a blending of various types of
development and operation under
