u. S.-Finnish Relations
C|ouded by Quis|ing's S
Forced Labor Project
Sending Norweeions to
Work in Forest Couses
American DispIeosure
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

In new threat to Finnish
American relations, the State
Department has expressed it's
disapproval to Finnish Minister
Hjalmar Procope because his
government permitted the Quis-
ling government of Norway to
purchase a forest in Finland and
10 send Norwegians there to cut
wood at forced labor, it was
learned today.
The rectnt visit of Minister Pro-
cope to the State Department was
in answer to a call about the Nor
wegian matter from Undersecretary
of State Welles, who notified him
the American Government wished
him to instruct his government of
the American displeasure.
1t is understood the State De-
partment is hopeful the situation
can be remedied. The official desire
here is said to remain strong to
prevent rupture between WASH
ington and Helsinki.
The State Department acted at
the request of the free Norwegian
government, which expressed the
view that it was unbecOming in
Finland to permit the Norwegians
to be sent there.
The Quisling government sought
to enlist the cooperation of Sweden
in the move by requesting that the
Swedes permit the railroad transit
from Norway to Finland of the men
selected for the work in the forests.
The Swedish government refused to
permit the men to be sent across
their country on the ground that
the workers were going to Finland
under duress.
At least $50 Norwegians, and per-
haps 500, have been sent to Finland
by boat, presumably along the
Arctic" Ocean to Petsamo. the
northern Finnish port. The Swed-
lsh attitude forced the abandon
ment Of the original plan for send
ing larger number.
Both Germany and Finland are
short Of the manpower needed to
work the forests.
There is hope here that Finland
will begin to follow new course in
its international policy next week
after the presidential election on
February Is. Risto Ryti is expected
to be reelected. but the coming
vote is viewed by the optimists as
an occasion for breaking with the
past.
The election was authorized by
the Parliament It does not mean
that all Finland will 60 to the polls.
The Presidnet is chosen by 300 elec-
tors, and the electors of 1943 were
designated in 1887. Finland. like
Great Britain. voted to postpone

agreed on the wisdom OF a prt ST.

almost any device of this sort,

Significant Role in Africa.
Although the transceiver has been

in maneuvers in the United States
and only now is being issued in
large numbers. 1t is believed, how
ever. to have played a significant
role in the North African campaign

very sturdy and almost foolproof
No training is necessary in its use
and inside the box there are a
minimum of complications to give
headaches to the Army mechanics.
Soldiers here are being especially
trained to repair the instruments.
Because OF the short range over
which it is used. the officers say,
receiving and transmitting are prac-

that it is essentially impossible for
the enemy to intercept messages.

with representative of the Women's
Bureau for Berkeley, Calf, to bring
Mrs. Edith Magruder Dodsworth
here in connection with the Garden
T. Shoppe murder in 1881, according

Chief Of Police John Greening at

yesterday that Mrs. Edith Lane, AZ,
a shipyard worker, had told him she
was Mrs Dodsworth.
She was indicted in 1895. along
with Thomas Jordon, now serving a
life term for the murder of the tea
shop cashier, Mrs. Elizabeth S.
Jaynes.
Chief Greening said the woman
had professed innocence, but had
been contemplating reporting to
police ever since she learned from a
detective story magazine several
months ago that she had been
indicted.

times, but I couldn't 60 through

Jordon. was freed when a grand Jury
refused to indict them on a con-
spiracy charge. Later she disap-
peared. Jordon finally confessed
and was convicted in 1896. Presi-

The "Walkie- talkie" weighs about
