|OPA Grants Grace Period
 ToCIothiers

Washington, May 3(UP)-The Government moved ahead today with emergency steps to keep mems clothing moving into retail stores.
 The O.P.A. led the way. It de- creed 30-day period of grace from May l to May 30-in which manufacturers could make :unre- stricted shipments of higher pric- ed suits. These manufacturers started to withhold shipments yesterday be- cause of the fear of risking penal ties under the O.P.A. maximum average price tmap) regulation. It requires manufacturers to turn out the same portion of low, medium and high-priced garments as they did during a specified period in the past, generally 1914.
 The Civilian Production Admin istration also swung into action, scheduling two meetings with cloth ing industry men to discuss ways and means of boosting production.
 OP.A. officials met today with the woolen and worstered manufactur- CTS industry advisory committee. On May they will meet with the mems and boys clothing industry advisory committee.
 At the same time, Morris Warner chief of the C.P.A. compliance branch, warned he would take steps against manufacturers who with hold shipments of suits for any reason beyond the 30-day limit per- mitted by O.P.A.
 In ordering the 3O-day period of grace, O.PA. said it was planning to announce a new method for granting adjustments to individual manufacturers, to investigate price rises of companies which were not entitled to map adjustments, and generally survey the ability of the mems clothing industry to operate under map.
 The agency said it would lift map exemption levels for manufactur- CTS up to $21 for overcoats, $21 for worstered suits, and $17.5O for other suits to give them little more lee-way.-
 An OP.A.. spokesman said the agency does not want to be in the position of holding up mems cloth ing deliveries. Neither, he said, does it want to be in the position to "open the way for windfall profits to many manufacturers who were

ISoIonsV View More Action On Droft Low

Washington, May &(UP)- Senate leaders cast e wary eye at the calendar todny and decided they must act next week on ex- tension of the draft law.
 The present law expires May IS unless Congress acts before then. Congressional leaders were confi- dent 1t would.
 But time was running short. Be- fore May IS, the Senate must act on @ pending extension bill and then reach agreement with the House on an acceptable compro- mise.
 Administration sources agreed that the Senate could not delay the draft question beyond next Wednesday. They figured the Senate would pass a bill within three days. That would allow less than a week for Senate and House conferees to work out some- thing on which both houses could agree.
 Here is the way it shaped up just 13 days before the May Is deadline:- !.
 l. The House on April IS ap- proved nine month extension which would forbid any drafting from May 15' to Oct. IS, exempt all teen agers and fathers, and force release of all draftees at the end of IS months service.
 2. The Senate Military Affairs Committee has approved a bill which would extend the law for one year, exempt all fathers, limit service to 18 months and forbid drafting more men than absolute ly necessary to maintain an army

A New Sterilization Bill Will Be
Placed Before Norway Parliament

OSLO. - With present Norwe-
gian price control regulations set
to expire w tn the turn of the new
wear, a new law prepared by the
Ministry Of Finance will soon be
placed before Parliament. The
new proposition will call for an
extension and tightening of exist
ing price and other economic con-
trolls with special attention to ad-
ministrative decentralization and
improved enforcement measures.
Though the proposition represents
hardly any important departure
from established control policy, it
will provide a new legal founda-
ton for existing controls which
are based on a provisional decree
of May 8, 1945. rather than on a
special act of Parliament.
The most important change I'M
der the new proposition will give
legal foundation to regulative
measures to be formulated by the
State in conjunction with "separ-
ate bodies or committees" as may
be named to advise in price regu
lation. with the Government as
suming full responsibility for sta
bilization. Another new provision

Mountain Maybe
On Move Again

OSLO. - Mysterious rumblings
coming from deep within Ravne-
fjelle, the Norwegian mountain
which is slowly sliding into
large mountain lake, have awak-
ened a wave of speculation in the
Nordjford district. Streams of wa
ter have gushed out CT new fis-
sures far. down the mourtainside
and it is recalled that similar oc-
currances preceded the last great
slide.
This occurred in 1886 when a
huge section of the mountain tum-
bled into the lake without warning
creating a tidal wave over 200 feet
high which swept all habitation
along the lake shore Seventy-four
persops were killed in the catas-
trophe and property damage ex-
ceeded $15O,O0O. Once before in
1905 a similar disaster occurred.
Residents in the area are bein%
prepared to evacuate the shore
districts should these warnings
continue.

STOCKHOLM. - The Swedish

it's relief work in Berlin. $4,000
children in Is out of Berlin's 70
districts are now receiving one nu-
tritious meal a day, the CORE
spondent of a Stockholm neWspa-

In addition to the children's
kitchens, the Swedish Red Cross
is running two other forms of re-
lief work in Berlin just now, the
mending of shoes and supplying
clothes. Footwear is a different
problem, and number of SWed-
ish shoemakers are helping to
solve it by teaching Germans to
mend shoes.
The Swedish Red Cross now has
fairly good stock of children's
clothing and is expecting more
Gifts have also been made to the
Swedish relief centers by 9th 81
countries. Iceland, for instance,
has donated clothes, while chill
dren's shoes have been received

that this will result in all h G

providing meals being able to
come themselves to the feeding
centers during tn G approaching

ShortWave Station
Near Com p|etion

OSLO.-Oslo reports that the
new Norwegian short-wave trans
mitter now under construction
near Fredrikstad may begin, oper-
atoms by June of 1947. The new
station will have a power of 1OO,-
900 watts, approximately the same
strength as the most powerful
British transmitter, and is ex-
pected to be heard from any point
on the globe.
Expressly noted is the fact that
the new Fredrikstad transmitter
will carry to Antarctica where
the Norwegian whaling fleet will
be operating and will reach Nor
wegian ships the world over. Plans
for installing loud speakers in
the mess rooms aboard Norwegian
vessels are now under considera-
ton and programs of special in
terest to Norwegian merchant
seamen are being planned News
programs and local items from
the Vestfold district, home of
most Norwegian whalers, will be
included in the short-wave pro-
grams. The new transmitter will
represent a total cost of 100000
kroner

will make possible the confisca-
ton of wartime profits which
though not acquired illegally may
be regarded as excessively high.
In addition to a tax on export
ed fish products, already in force,
new taxes on exported wood pro-
ducts, shipping incomes, an
whale oil, are considered in the
new proposal as a source of funds
for holding down other home
prices. This income would not go
to the State treasury, but would
be credited to special funds ear
marked for specific purposes.
Under the proposal, authority
will be provided for the regula-
ton and control of prices, earn
ings, and profits of all kinds and
for the regulation of production,
sales, and distribution. The stop
page or limit ing of production in
a given industry may be prohib-
tied under the proposal and pro-
ducers may be required to turn
out specific items or perform des-
ignated services at prices and I'M
der such conditions as may be re-
quired by the authorities.
According to the new PROPOSE
ton the opening of new business
es or the expansion of old estab-
lishments may be subject to con-
troll under law. The State will al
SO have the right to demand that
production, sales, or other activ-
ity within an industry may be di-
vided between businesses in such
a way that operations of a given
unit may be legally restricted or
halted entirely. Noncompliance
may be punished by fines or up to
three years Imprisonment with the
guilty party being restricted from
business activities for period of
up to five years.
The new price act is regarded
in many quarters as the most i'm
portant piece of legislation since
liberation and heated parlia-
mentary battle is anticipated Ac-
cording to the proposition as for
warded, the law would remain in
force until July /, 1913, and rep
reSe1ts the Government program
to avoid price anarchy during
period of shortages. AS it is
not expected that the new pro-
posal will come before Parliament
before the expiration date of the
present provisional decree, a short
extension of the latter may be re-
quested

Ambassador Bay Praises Norway

NEW YORK. = Among United
States officials arriving in New
York aboard the liner Queen
Elizabeth was u S. AM bassador
to Norway Charles Ulrick Bay.
Ambassador Bay, who will return
to Oslo following 4 brief visit
here, had some vivid comment on
his first months in post-liberation
Norway.
Norway is showing a great deal
of commen sense in tackling first
things first" noted the Ambassa-
dor. Despite labor and materal
shortages, the nationwide drive to
get production under way is gain
ing momentum. One of the fac
tors OF Norwegian life which had
impressed the Ambassador most
was what he termed their dis
covery OF how to live" Nor
way" he said. has what | should
call a perfect balance between the
intellectual and material. Wealth
to a Norwegian seems to be a
fourfold affair: intellectual. cultu-
raj, physical and material. No
Norwegian home that I've been in
land I've visited quite a number)
is without snail oil painting or
an etching of some kind - some
touch OF natural culture which is
most impressive"
Ambassador Bay then turned to
the problem of a broadened cultu-
raj exchange between Norway and
the United States and noted that
Norwegian interest in things
American is both informed and
active Norway" he emphasized,
can teach us something of this
balance of life. From. US she can
learn the technical know how"
He strongly emphasized the needs
of groups or individuals desiring
to travel with a purpose-that is,
those Interested in close study or
observation of some particular
phase of Norwegian life. Provi-

sions for special summer courses
conducted in English for Ameri-
can students were intimated by
the Ambassador, and here, he not
ed, the full benefits of the Full
bright bill would be realized. This
summer school plan, he hoped,
would be functioning by the sum
r.er of 1947, as it is now being
developed by the Norwegian au-
thorities.
