Sqveden's Peace Was Often Endangered
Norwegian Sangerfest

which helped to carry us along
until the day of freedom in Nor
way and until brighter things
could be made available to her
people who have been deprived of
the precious privilege of singing.
Today, with Norway free, it is
with great rejoicing that Norwe-
gian male choruses of the Pacific
Northwest assemble in Tacoma
for jubilant outpouring of
thanks in song. AS we share the
joy of being together in concert,
deep gratitude to our many friends
throughout the world who have
contributed to the victory and lib
Grafton will find expression in mu-
steal reminiscing. This seth San
gerfest is momentous. We rally
under the auspices of the Nor
mama Male Chorus of Tacoma, of
which Martin Heglund is Presi-
dent, in spirit of great thanks
giving.
Sangerfests are popular. They
have been popular for generations,
and are a part of the Norwegian
way of life. In early history, it
is recorded that virtually every
community had its singing socie-
ties, and Sangerfests with massed
choruses numbering from 5000 to
5000 men are realities. Chorus
singing is a living force, and as
time moves on, and the ranks of
all choruseS expand, this tradi-
tional event will take even deeper
root
The Seth Sangerfest in Tacoma
can rightfully be called a VIC
TORY SANGERFEST. 1t will be
enlivened with sparkling new
songs, tempered with the old ira
ditional beloved masterpieces. The
artistry of Arville Belstad, one of
the nations most accomplished
organists, together with talented
soloists, will be featured with the
chorus.
Lovers of music have become
increasingly ardent over presen-
tations by the Norwegian Sanger
tests. These Sangerfests are re-
garded by all as an unquestionable
medium of uniting our people in
a way that is hardly expainable

ed out from the Swedish factories
in ever growing numbers.
The repeated notifications and
the long, tense watching meant
great strain on the Swedish SOL
diers, but they were always pre-
pared to fight for their homes and
their freedom. There are over a
million men with some military
training, and at least half of these
belong to the field army. The
Swedish Lolita corps, correspond
ing to the American Wacs and
Waves, increased five times in
numbers.
Documents recently found in the
former Nazi Government offices
in Berlin prove that in February,
1912, Hitler had decided to attack
and occupy Sweden. Forty-five di-
visions had been assigned for the
task, and from German airfields in
Denmark and Norway units of the
German air force were ready to
launch a blitz attack. But Sweden
Immediately modified on a full
war footing. The German comman-
der, Marshal Won Book, angrily
told Hitler that somehow Sweden
had obtained word about the in
vasion plan, and that now he must
have twenty more divisions. These
could only be taken from the Stall
ingrad front. Reluctantly, after
much debate, Hitler abandoned his
Swedish invasion plan. The winter
also, was unusually severe.
Ever since the German occupa-
ton Of Denmark, heavy Swedish
shore batteries had been aimed at
the Danish shore, in case the Ger
mans should attempt to attack
Sweden from that direction. Every
harbor had been strongly protect
ed. On the Danish side there were
German b t cries trained on
Sweden. Early in June this year
Sweden's Prime Minister, Per AL
bin Hanson, accepted an invita-
ton from Danish colleagues to in
spect them.
The end of the war in Europe
caused some wild outbursts of joy,
but above all deep relief and graft

Norway Chorus in 1925, when II
concerts were given crossing the
United States, and "a concerts
were given in Norway.
In addition to the active men,
bers, the chorus has the support
of large group of associate
members, and since 1909 has had
the very active support of la
dies auxiliary, the Singers Help
mates.
The first Sangerfest of the Sc
attic Chorus was held in Everett
Washington, in 1908. Since then
Sangerfests have been held and
celebrated in the principal cities
on the Pacific Coast from Van
couver, B. c., to San Francisco,
California. 1t has participated at
each of these events in full
strength not because of duty
imposed, but for the reason that
it's members love to sing. The
big inspiration of the chorus is
it's director, Professor August
Werner, who never fails to in
spire, and who is recognized by
all to be eminently qualified.
Only a year ago the 35th San
gerfest, featuring the remarkable
voice of Norway's foremost bari
tone, Waldemar Johnson, guest
soleist, was held in Seattle. The
echo of his masterful voice still
fingers with us. His rendition of
Den Stor Hvite Flok" with the
chorus, enriched by the magic
tones of the organ, will never fade
from memory. Singing then was
reduced to hush in Norway
subdued by a cold minor chord,
for the country was occupied. The
tyrant's heel and mailed fist rest

as they courageously fought off
the oppressor, We in America, al

Named in honor of a hero OF
the invasion of the Marshall Is
lands in 1914, the U. S. S. Ander-
son, built by the Todd-Pacific
Shipyards, was launched at the

son of the Marine Corps, was kill
ed in action February /, 1914. dur
ing the battle of Roi, in the kwa-
jalein atoll of the Marshall Is
lands.
Anderson, % years old, was
awarded the Congressional Medal
of Honor posthumously for saving
the lives of three fellow marines
at Roi when a live grenade rolled
into the shell crater they were
occupying. With insufficient time
to retrieve the grenade and throw
1t, Anderson saved his companions
by throwing himself upon It and
taking the full impact of the ex-
plosion.

ton awarded him said, and his
exceptional spirit of loyalty in the
face of almost certain death were
in keeping with the highest tradi-

Cruiser Reno, Struck
By Torpedo, lowed
1,50O Miles 10 Base

Struck by Jap torpedo just be-
fore midnight last November while
operating with Task Force SO in the
Philippine Sea, the light cruiser
Reno lost four killed and Al missing,
but the crew kept her af1oat for a
1,500-mile tow to an advanced base,
the Navy disclosed today. Later she
steamed under her own power to the
Charleston g. c. Navy Yard, where
she now is being overhauled.
The vessel was commanded by
Capt. Ralph c. Alexander, whose
wife, Mrs. Elizabeth G.. Alexander,
lives at 2430 Tracy place NV.
After the Battle for Leyte Gulf, in
the Philippines, the cruiser was part
of group standing by in case the
enemy returned.
Torpedo Hits Port Side.
Without any warning, a Jap tor
pedo hit the Reno's port side and a
sheet Of fame roared into the air.
The jolt was so hard that a lotion,
40-mm gun mount was Jared from
its fastenings and hurled IS feet
away to land on the torpedo tubes.
The Navy revealed last night that
the first reported two-pilot japanese
suicide plane crashed into the de-
stroyer-escort England off Okinawa
May 8, killing 81 of her officers and
men.
Ten others were reported missing
and 25 were wounded.
The badly battered ship, however
came home under her own power for
repairs. Shortage of skilled workers
in West Coast yards forced her to
travel and additional 1900 miles to
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where
she arrived July Is. She has since
been reclasSif1ed as a fast destroyer
transport.
Pilots Wore Parachutes.
The suicide plane which struck
the England also was the first re-
ported instance where the pilots
wore parachutes, which they had no
chance to use.
THE plane probably would have
missed us if there had been only
one pilot" 1t. Comdr. John A. Will
hanson, Birmingham, Ala, the Eng
lands skipper, said. las the plane
dived on us, we hit it many times
with antiaircraft fire. We knocked
one wheel off and the engine was
aflame. Men on the stern who got a
close look at it as it circled around
to hit us saw the pilot in the for
ward cockpit slumped over, obviously
dead. We got him, but the rear
cockpit pilot lived to perform his
job"

Mother was tired and weary,
Weary with toll and with pain:
Put by her glasses and rocker,
She will not need them again;
Into Heavens mansions she's entered
Never to sigh or weep;
After long years with Iife's struggles
Mother has fallen asleep.
Near other loved ones we laid her,
Low in the cemetery to lie;
And though our hearts are near broken
Yet we do not question why
She does not rest meath the grasses,
She has gone into the kingdom,
Mother has fallen asleep.
Rest the tired feet now forever,
Dear wrinkled hands, are so still;
Blast of the earth shall no longer
Throw Ger our loved one chill
Angels through Heaven will guide her,
Jesus will still bless and keep;
Not for the world would we wake her.
Mother has fallen asleep.
Beautiful rest for the weary.
Well deserved rest for the true;
When our lifes journey is ended
We shall again be with you.
This helps to quiet our weeping.

Mechanism Needed ;
To Maintain Stable
Economy, Snyder Says
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Reconversion Director John W.
Snyder said today the Nation needs
a mechanism to maintain a stable
economy just as it has subscribed
to one to keep the peace.
Indorsing the full. employment"
bill, Mr.. Snyder told the Senate
Banking Committee that the legis-
lation Won't produce as much as
a single job" in itself but does pro-
vide a method for mobilizing the
countrys resources so every one
can find work.
I'm the past" he said, 1--WE have
had no machinery by which to or
ganize in systematic way for the
prevention of depressions or of wars.
We need such machinery.
1T MAS taken two catastrophe
world wars to bring us into an in
ternational organization equipped
with effective means Of investigat-
ing and solving problems which
threaten peace.
II feel certain that it is not
necessary to suffer another cat
astrophic depression to awaken us
to the need of establishing mech
anism for a systematic attack on
economic instability. We must take
positive action to help us achieve
full employment"
Mr.. Snyder said the bill neither
implies interference with decisions
of private enterprise nor puts the
Government into business. 1t en-
ables the Government to act, he
said. so as to keep the free eco
nomic system running somewhere
near full production"
Primarily the bill esta blishes full
employment the explicit policy of
the United States" with Congress
having the final decision on pro-
grams recommended by the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Snyder declared.
That" he said, lis the best pos
sible assurance the full employment
bill will not mean RECOMMENDATION"
Mr.. Snyder was among the last of
the scheduled witnesses as the SEN
ate committees hearings neared an
