The great mass Of American con-
sumers will have to rely on current
earnings and credit TO finance the
heavy postwar buying they plan, a
Federal survey Indicated today.
The study, made by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics for the Fed
eral Reserve Board, presented this
picture:
Two out Of every five families
have, on the average, only $40 each
saved in such quickly cashable as
sets as savings bonds, other securi-
ties and bank deposits.
This group, although accounting
for 40 per cent Of the Nations fam
lilies, came out of the war years with
only l per cent of all such assets
in the country.

averaging $10.500 per family.
A Federal Reserve official said the
survey findings pointed to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
l. The concentration of savings in
the hands of small number OF
families makes them a considerably
less important factor in financing
consumer purchases than originally
anticipated.
2. The mass Of families. lacking
substantial savings, must depend on
current earnings to pay for food

THEODORE Gilmore Bilbo was
assured of reelection to the
United States Senate in the pri-
.maries of July 2, a circumstance
rejecting no credit on the State
of Mississippi or the government
of the United States.
1t is the duty of the federal
government to assure it's citizens
the right to vote without intirni-
dation, particularly in elections
for federal office like United
States senator.
Federal troops should be sent
anywhere that armed supervision
is necessary to guarantee the ba-
sic rights of citizenship. That's
what the Revolutionary War was
all about. And the Civil War.
WE WON both those bloody
conflicts and presumably estab-
liShed forever the principle that
men are free and equal.
They were not equal and they
were not free in Mississippi last
month. That's why Bilbo won.
Only a handful of the Negro pop
ulation dared to vote. Bilbo had
warned them that they did so at
their peril. BY such threat, Bill
DO violated the federal constitu-
ton.
Troop trains should have been
rolling into Mississippi within "a

Stitution.

Civil Aeronoutics Board
Issues Permit For
Swedish Air Lines

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The Civil
Aeronautics Board announced to-
day that it had authorized Swed-
iSh 1ntercontinental Airlines Isl
ALL to engage in foreign air
transportation of pass n 6 S,
freight, and mail between Stock
holm and the alternate terminal
points New York and Chicago. The
Boards decision was signed by
President Truman on February g.
1916.
The Board said that "a foreign
air carrier permit should be issued
authorizing Swedish Intercontinen-
tai Airlines (SILA) to engage
in such air transportation so long
as carrier designated by the
United States, pursuant to the
1914 Air Transport Agreement,
for the route between Stockholm
and New York or Chicago, enjoys
permission from Sweden to oper-
ate said route" The Board in it's
North Atlantic decision designated
American Overseas Airlines to fly
from New York and Chicago to
Stockholm. Both the Uni t d
States and Sweden have accepted
the international Air Transport
Agreement known as the Five
Freedoms Agreement"
SILA has been operating char
ter flights between Stockholm and
New York, and from June to No
vember 1915 made some AZ single
trips, with cargo including peni-
cillin medical instruments and
steel and approximately 100 pas
sengers.

STOCKHOLM, Feb II. - (By

Swedish Minister to Norway, today
informed the Norwegian Prime
Minister, Einar Gerhardsen, that
Sweden will waive repayment of
government credits of $50 million
kronor (about S375 millions)
granted Norway in the fall of 1914
The purpose of these credits was
to cover expenses in connection
with the care of Norwegian refu-
gees in Sweden, the training of
military units recruited from
among the refugees, and the pur-
chase of certain products and ar
ticles. Mr.. Gerhardsen expressed
his thanks on behalf of the Nor
wegian people, adding: 1--WE re-
gard this action as another evil
dence that the Swedish people well
understand Norway's difficult sit
uation after five years of war
and occupation"

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
New Swedish Operative Method

A series of remarkable opera
tons has in the last two years
been performed at the Sabbats-
berg Hospital in Stockholm by
Doctor Clarence Crafoord, who
has succeeded in operating con-
genial malformations of the aorta
in the vicinity of the heart-a
construction of the vessel such as
in most cases leads to premature
death.
The operation consists in sever
ing the aorta both above and be-
low the structure, after which the
two ends are sewn together. It
sounds simple but the operation Is
so risky and requires such skill
that no one had ventured to per-
form it before DR.. Crafoord for
the first time saved the life of
an 11-year-old boy by this means
in October 1914. Since then six
further operation of similar kind
have been carried out, all of them
successfully. The complaint is
quite a common one and is ap
parently the cause of 10 per cent
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1946-03-01

of all congenital cases of heart
trouble. At least Is per cent of
the cases die on account of this
malformation before reaching the
age of 20, over so per cent before
the age of 40 and only 10 per cent
survive the age of SO.
Fortunately the structure arises
Glow the branching point
leading to those blood vessels
which supply the upper half of
the body-neck, head and arms.
Experiments on dogs have shown
that the circulation can be sus-
pended for quite a long time with
out organic injury provided only
that the brain is supplied with
the oxygen it needs. DR.. Cra-
foord therefore shuts off the cir
culation in the aorta with the aio
of nippers on either side of the
construction, then cuts away the
malformed part and finally unites
the severed ends on the basis of
a technique worked out by the
Nobel Prize-winner Carrel. A pre-
condition of success is that the
wall of the aorta is of such a
nature as to permit the surgeon
to put stitches in it. Otherwise
the purpose of the operation can
not be fulfilled and the patient
must retain the malformation.
The new operational method is
said to have caused a consider
able sensation in medical circles.
1t was recently discussed in an
article by DR.. c. Crafoord and
DR.. G. Nylin published in h e
American Journal of Thoracic
Surgery.
In 1915 the Swedish Medical
Society awarded it's Jubilee medal
to DR.. Crafoord for his scientific
achievements in the medical field.

Moose hunting is allowed for

The moose meat has formed a
