Two Groms Of Rodium
Arrive In Sweden
From America

STOCKHOLM, Dec. Is. Via
airmaiD-A precious cargo, con-
sisting of 2 grams of radium, val
ued at more than $4,000, recently
arrived in Gothenburg from New
York on the "Danaholm." Swedish
America Mexico Line. This was
the first consignment of radium
received in Sweden from abroad
since 1927.
Including these two grams, Swe-
den is now in possession of be-
tween 16 and II grams of radium.
This supply is divided between
Sweden's three main centers for
radium treatment, in Stockholm,
Gothenburg, and Lund. Further
imports from Canada and Bel
gium are expected.
The quantity just received had
to be sent by boat, since no air
line was willing to carry it, fear
ing that the radium might disturb
the airplane instruments. 1t was
contained in twenty glass tubes,
each of 100 milligrams. These
were enclosed in a brass cylinder.

vigeIand's Visions

The most ambitious sculptural
scheme of modern times was rising
recently in Oslos Frogner Park.
1t was the life work of Norway's
leading sculptor land eccentric) !,
Gustav Vigeland, who died in 1943,
aged IA Not since Michelangelo,
claimed one critic, had sculptor
chiseled such forest of figures
over 100 separate versions of the
human form, in granite and bronze,
standing. reclining, cavorting, ca
ressing, all over some 100 grassy
acres. Vigeland simply ignored the
Nazi invaders, and they let him
go on with his sculpture. The work
took 40 years to complete and cost
the Norwegian taxpayers five mil
lion dollars.
The barrel-chested populator of
Frogner Park was a mystic, a re-
cluse and a scoffer at all art
except his own. Largely self
taught, Sculptor Vigeland emerged
in 1905 from a cocoon of starva-
ton and obscurity, to receive a
prize beyond the widest dreams
of patron-seekers. The Norwegian
Government had agreed to COM
mission him with a carte blanche
job.
Thus fixed, Vigeland married
himself to his job, forever forsook
all ordinary social life. Even wives
Che divorced two) were out. Oslos
citizens caught only brief glimpses
of him when he took walks
armed with heavy stick, to pro-
tect himself from dogs, which he
hated. One result of his personal
seclusion: Vigeland is far less
known internationally than his fell
low Scandinavian sculptor, Swe-
denis Carl Miles.
The theme of Frogner Park is
nothing less than the birth, life
and death of man. There are no
monumental mementos of captains,
kings and conquerors in the Vige-
land cast of characteristics plain
men, women and children. Massive
males stagger under the weight of
a heavy fountain bowl; chubby
children sport in and out of stone
tree branches. A bridge over a pool
bears So figures of rugged toilers.
At one corner of the bridge is a
2O-ft. dragon clutching a reluctant
woman whose bowed face, closely
examined. reveals smiling pleasure.
Topping the park is a 56-ft. white
granite monolith, stone which once
was inched through Oslo, hating
all traffic, at the rate of a yard
day for one year. Carved upon
it now is a writing mass of inter
tWined human bodies.
Vigelands most enigmatic
achievement for Frogner Park is
a powerfully built man Juggling
three bronze babies on his arms
booting a fourth into the air with
his right foot The old sculptor
was once asked to explain this
caprice. His answer: In dreams
anything can happen"
