The tax bill went to a Confer

given to the Senate's Ruml tax

throwing the Ruml plan back for
the third time.
ACTION NOTE: Members Of

Conference Committee are: Reps.
Doughton, Cooper. Disney, Ding

should get the wires from you,
rs well as your own Representa-

II the Smith Connally-Lewis bill
is still up for debate, your Repre-
sentatives should be similarly bonn
barded with wires against passage.

The Tooth anniversary of the birth
of the great Norwegian composer
and conductor, Edward Grieg, will be
observed in Minnesota Tuesday, June
Is, under a proclamation issued by
Governor Ed Thye designating that
occasion as Grieg day. Minnesota,
at the last census, had 1852 Nor
way born citizens.
Grieg music is known and loved
the world over and the devotionS of
Norwegians is unique because of his
sympathetic expression of their ma
tive ideals and emotions. He was
an ardent champion of freedom and
his music today is an inspiration to
the embattled sons of his unhappy
native land.
Born in Bergen, June Is, 1843,
Grieg spent many of his happiest
and most prolific years at Trold-
haugen, hill of the trolls or elves,
near that city. This picturesque
dwelling in spot of typical Nor
wegian beauty has become shrine
for music lovers.
Grieg died on September 4, 1907,
still apparently unaware of the sta
ture he had attained in the musical
world and in the field of interna-
tional amity.
