Bad Norwegians
Sent 10 Germany

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2. CUP) =
German occupation forces in Nor
way were reported to be deporting
increasing numbers of ranking Nor
wegians of the type capable of be-
coming leaders against them in the
final stages of the war.
Almost daily, groups of five, 10, or
20 persons, many not accused OF
anything, are rounded up in Nor
wegian communities and sent to
Germany where they are held as
hostages.
Almost 300, including 30 women,
principally intellectuals, were de-
ported in July and at least that
many, if not more, in August.
During the past three months, the
deporteeS usually were important
people in their respective commu-
mites, such as lawyers, doctors, den-
lists, journalists, authors and for
mer chairmen of trade unions and
political parties.
Sabotage, however, is increasing.
1t is aimed mainly at German oil
and gasoline depots, already re-
ported depleted because of severly
curtailed shipments. Most OF the
storage tanks at Oslo Fjord were
said to have been destroyed at a
loss of nearly 100000 gallons.

HOLLYWOOD
BY ERSKINE JOHNSON

Behind the screen: Taking a
number for a name has its prob
lens. And not arithmetic problems,
either. You may have read a few
weeks ago about blonde starlet June
Millarde going to court and legally
changing her name to Toni Seven.
She wanted to change her name,
she told the judge, because she
didn't want to capitalize on the
fame of her parents-silent star
June Caprice and Harry Millarde,
the once-famous director.
The judge took one look at the
lady, gave a long, low whistle and
commented, What number!"
But lock what has happened
since. Seven thousand pin-up re-
quests from the armed forces. A
gent by the name of Six who mines
silver in Arizona proposed marriage.
Ditto from a Mr. Eleven in Pitts
burgh. Toni called a restaurant one
night for reservations for two and
get a table for seven. And then
there were the cats.
A 7-year-old cat in Pasadena,
California, it seems, gave birth to
litter of kittens, each with seven
toes on its front paws. Toni Seven,
the mama cat, and the kittens
posed together for photographs.

VESTS POSTWAR
STEEL SECURITY
pasadena Star-News)

Westerners are going to do everything
possible to keep their section of the coun-
try from being put through the wringer
of deflation after the war.
War has increased enormously both the
population and the industry to the west.
There is good reason to believe that a
large percentage of the newcomers will
want to stay here after the war, but it
will be impossible for them to earn llv-
ing here unless large part of the vests
War industries can be converted to pro-
duction for peace and keep in operation.
1t was with these facts in mind that
Sen. James E. Murray Of Montana made
a slashing attack on the pessimistic state
mant by Benja amin F. Fairless, president
of the United States Steel corporation,
concerning the postwar future of the
100000, 900 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS steel
plant at Geneva, Utah.
If the published quotations of his re-
marks are accurate, the Montana senator
declared that legislation for the disposal
of government owned war plants must
provide for the operation of the Geneva,
Utah, and Fontana, California, steel mills
at full capacity.
Everybody in this section of the coun-
try would like to see the western steel
mills operated at full capacity after the
war and all of their employees kept at
work, but they cannot be operated in de-
fiance of economic facts.

ONE PLACE WHERE MONEY
IS WELL SPENT
{ Sacramento Bee)

One of the toughest assignments fall-
ing to the United States Army Is the
duty of informing relatives that soldier
has been killed or wounded or missing IN
action.
This can be done in one of two ways.
The news can be transmitted in cold,
terse telegram. and that would be that.
Or it can be done the way it is being done
under the direction of Maj. Gen. James
A Ulio, adjutant general OF the Army.
General Ulio believes a cold announce
ment is not only brutal but unwise, and
the time and effort put into softenlng the
heavy blow of such news is paid for many
times over by the morale building which
is accomplished.
Before telegram is sent the utmost
care is exercised to insure against mis-
take.
Each wire is followed up by a person
ally dictated letter in which all available
details are given to the parents or other
relatives of the unfortunate soldier. 1t
is signed by General Ulio who promises
to forward any further information as
soon as it is received-and the promise is
kept.
No detail is overlooked to make the
blow as soft as possible For instance,
specific instructions are given that no
telegram is to be delivered between 10
pm and Z am because the shock Of trag-
ic news seems to be heightened when a
person is awakened from slumber to re-
ceve it.

Postwar international aviation
news is more in the limelight now
that the Civil AerCnauticS Board
has begun "a series OF preliminary
conferences and hearings to deter
mine which U. S. commercial avia-
ton companies will be authorized
TO fly where.
No decisions may be expected
from these hearings for perhaps a
year. In the meantime it is expected
that Congress will have determined
what U. S. international aviation
policy is to be-Whether the govern
ment will sponsor the "one chosen
instrument company TO operate all
international air routes under the
American flag, or whether the buSl-
ness will be split up among a num-
ber of competing companies. The
fact that there are 107 applications
on file from 20 companies to eStab-
lish service over the eight new
routes which CAB en- June IA an
nounced as commercially feasible
indicates the pressure to break
away from the one-company opera
ton
# action of the CAB in holding
the hearings before Congress has
determined its own policy seems a
bit premature, it may be explained
that the process Of deciding what
companies are best qualified to fly
the various routes is long and in
vclved, and the idea is to have all
the data studied and ready for de-
cision at the earliest possible date.
GEOGRAPHICAL
AREAS SET APART
This involves preliminary CAB
conferences with applicants want
ing to fly into a given area, secur-
ing of agreement on what type plane
should be flown over the route, what
the traffic will be, what service
should be supplied to meet it, and
so on. Geographical areas are set
apart thus: North Atlantic, South
Atlantic, North Pacific, Central Pa
cific. Australia and Honolulu
After the conferences, some OF
which have already been held, the
formal hearings before CAB exam
liners will begin on the following
schedule: Honolulu, September q;
North Atlantic, October 16; South
Atlantic, November /; North Pacific
December 13; Central Pacific, jan
! uary 10: Australia, February l.
Every company having an appli-
cation on file will present argu-
ments as TO why it should be grant
ed the right to fly over the route
This will require several days, so, in
the case Of the North Atlantic serv-
ice. for which there are 20 applica-
tions, at least two months will be
required to hear evidence. 1t viii
probably take another month tc
weigh evidence. Extended hearing;
may be necessary for more evidence
SO these cases will drag on into nex'
summer.
When the beard has decided wha'
the routes are to be, it will be up tt

the Department CT State to con-
clude agreements with the coun-
tries over which the routes will
pass, to permit landing and air
passage rights. This, too, is de-
pendent on congressional determi-
nation of what u S. air policy is to
be whether reciprocal landing
rights will be granted to the air
lines of other countries, how flying
over U. S. territory by planes of
other countries is to be regulated,
and so on.
WE'VE GOT A MISSION IN SPAIN
Not all the negotiations for land
ing rights, however, must wait on
congressional and CAB action. For
instance, the Department of State
has just announced that three
man technical mission is in Spain
to work out details of an agree
ment in principle on granting land
ing rights to U. S. commercial air
lines.
Granting Cf reciprocal landing
rights on U. S. territory to the
Spanish government owned Compa-
MIA Nacional Iberia, which operates
Spains domestic airlines, is not a
question in this agreement, which is
understood to cover only the rights
of U. S. commsrcial-not military
planes to fly into Spanish airports
and over Spanish territory. What
U. S. companies will serve Spain is
yet to be determined
(The new Spanish agreement has
no relation whatever to the pres
ent 25-year U. S.-PortugueSe air
rights now held by Pan American
AirWaysD
But it Is by this three-Way con-
grecsional, Department of State and
CAB action that the future of U. s..
international air transport is being
planned.
