House Goes Ahead Of Senate On
 Labor Legislation
(By William F. Arbogast)

WASHINGTON, CP)-The Re publican-controlled 80th Congress ended its first week of business to- day with the House threatening to take the ball away from the Sen ate on labor legislation.
 House leaders privately dis closed plans to have their branch write a comprehensive strike con trol measure before the March date chairman Taft R.-Ohio) has set for his labor committee to send one to the Senate for debate.
 It is possible the new House la bor committee headed by Rep. Hartley R.-N. JD will use as the basis of its considerations the all inclusive measure introduced yes terday by Rep. Francis Case R.- s. D..
 "We aren't going to wait for ,ne Senate; we can pass a bill much quicker in the House. a high placed Republican told reporter. The new labor measure propos- ed by Representative Case is far broader than the Case bill vetoed last year by President Truman. IL includes more than a score of l3- ! bOr law reViSionS one of which would make it possible for the government to delay a coal strike or a strike in any equally impOr- tant industry, through federal court injunction.
 l It also defines a group of "un- fair labor practices" by unions.
 Senate Republicans had planned to concentrate at the outset on the l946 Case bill with slight revisions, ; and to tackle more comprehensive legislation later.
 Competing with labor legislation : for Congressional interest and as sured of almost equally-prompt at ] tention are bills to cut taxes and i to dole out to the various govern ment agencies the funds they need for the fiscal year starting next July l.
 In the background, but likely tC erupt into the fight stage at any 
 time, are such issues as universal training, army-navy merger and removal of rent controls.
 The widely-held belief that Con- gress is in a mood to enact some form of strike control or labor union regulation legislation was bolstered by an Associated Press poll of Republican and Democratic leaders of both chambers.
 Six of the eight listed such ac- ton as certain" while the other two termed it probable.
 Only three were certain" that income taxes would be cut but five said a reduction is probable. y

 Shipments Over Alaska Highway

SEATTLE, CP) - The Seattle Chamber of Commerce said today it had a complaint from a Fair banks, Alaska, shipper that he was overchaTged by the Province of Alberta on shipments over the Alaska Highway and that the Chambers Washington, D. C., of flee had notified the state depart ment.

DANISH SCIENCE
DURING THE WAR
By DR.. Erik Tetens Nielsen

only one thing to do once we had
gained our senses; to concentrate
on our work, to lock ourselves up
with our mechanical circles.
We tried to recover our lost
balance, to find ourselves again
in our daily work.
For most sciences, which are
remote from the tumult of every
day life, this attitude was not
difficult to maintain at first. That
was in the distant days when the
Germans were still making their
clumsy attempts to win us over.
They had hopes of intimate col
liberation, and strove with civil
and almost ingratiating zeal for
cultural fellowship which they
probably believed would flattef us
enough to make us swallow the
bitter pill of occupation and ex-
ploitation.
With very few and unimportant
exceptions thi S caused Danish
scientists more than ever to turn
their backs on them and concern
trate on their work. But this at
titude lasted only for a short
time. AS the Germans encroach-
ments became increasingly more
violent, frequent, and undisguised
the resistance to them grew in
extent and intensity
The students were the first to
protest. And with the formation
of the resistance movement large
numbers of scientists of all kinds
took part, from students to pro-
fessors. Highly respected men of
science were among the leaders
of the freedom movement.
There was consequently every
reason to expect action against
the Danish students like that
which consigned { h e Norwegian
students to t h e concentration
camps, and teaching took place
more or less under ground, the
lectures being given N odd rooms
scattered around the city. Labora-
tories and colleges were the meet
ing places of resistance groups

Norway Tightens Import Controls

OSLO.-On Monday, September
18th, the Norwegian Government
announced the rationing of foreign
exchange. Hitherto, procurement
of an import license from the
Ministry of Supply has been STIFF
ficient to obtain the needed foreign
exchange. The new ruling, how
ever, provides for an additional
check through control center,
with foreign exchange to be ra-
toned by the Bank of Norway.
Licenses which have already been
issued must be registered, and
may even be cancelled.
In a statement to the press,
Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen
announced the Governments deci-
sion to reduce imports during the
coming Is months to an average
of 19O,00O,0OO Kr monthly, exclu-
sively of ships. Norway's ex-
change reserves are being serious
ly threatened by increased i'm
ports which, since January, have
averaged 255 million kr. in con-
trast to the 200 million Kr month
ly figure anticipated in the coun-
try's national budget. If Nor
ways currency reserves, including
available credits, are to last out
194S as planned, drastic import
cuts will be necessary During the
first seven months of 1947 imports
averaged 225,OOO,OOO Kr against
142 100000 Kr in 1916. Price in
creases abroad are responsible for
a large part of this figure.
A further conservation move
will reduce the daily fat ration by
5 grams beginning October LIST,
with an additional 5-gram cut
scheduled for next summer. Whale
oil, earlier ear-marked for the
domestic margarine industry, will
thus be released for export. With
this exception, however. no reduc-
ton of the present Norwegian food
ration is foreseen for the immedi-

Debt Cancellation
For Firms Urged

Cancellation of Finland's S.
100000 debt to the United States
is proposed by Senator William
x. Knowland (R.) of California.
Introducing legislation to that
end, the Californian told the Sen
ate that writing off the debt would
be "a friendly gesture to a great
people,
Senator Knowland said Finland
has been trying desperately" over
the years to keep up payments,
but still owes SS,259,0OO on loans
made in 1919 and 1921 totaling
SS.2S1 900.
On this, Senator knowland said,
Sc, AIS, 900 in interest has been paid
and a total of 1854, 900 in inter-
est and principle.

fifteen head in relatively short
time.
Another transfer will take 20
head of reindeer from the Cello
district in Norway to far-off Pata-
gonia. They will be shipped from
Sandefjord aboard an Argentina
freighter. Argentine authorities
hope that the immigrant deer will
aid in adjusting the economy of
that far southern area, which has
no reindeer of it's own. Quantities
of leaves and reindeer moss will
provide ample food, and it is ex-
pected that the 20 head will adapt
themselves readily to their new
environment.

The Norwegian Office for Spitz-

has recently shipped s musk-ox
from northeastern Greenland, and
released them in the high noun

years before the Nazi invasion

slaughtered the only musk-ox
herd on the Norwegian mainland.
These had been transferred from
Greenland several years earlier
and had increased from eight to

Silver WEDDING
In Greenland

OSLO.-A cozy note from the
wastes of Greenland was received
in Northern Norway recently in a
radio report describing the hap
piest trapper in the history of
that frozen isle.
An amazed Norwegian, Nor
mann Andersen, who had spent a
solitary 10 months at an isolated
trapping post was awakened On
the morning of his 25th wedding
anniversary by his wife who
slipped in through the door of his
sod hut to serve him home baked
silvre wedding cake and coffee in
bed
Mrs. Gudrun Andersen had ar
rived that morning aboard t h e
Norwegian-Greenland Expeditions
Polar Bear" several weeks ahead
of schedule and the bearder trap
per was taken completely by sur
prise. Following the unloading of
another years supplies for the
pair. and an afternoon of modest
festivities, the Polar Bear" pulled
away from shore with Mrs. An
dersen already hard at work over

Canadian Saws
Helping Norway

OSLO.-Anticipating record
1947-'48 Norwegian timber output
of 8 million cubic meters-some 2
million above last year-Govern-
ment authorities and representa-
tives of the Association of Norwe-
gian Timber Owners have now
reached agreement on timber pric-
es for the coming season. Conclu-
sion of negotiations means the
go ahead signal for thousands of
loggers whose extra output is ex-
ected to bring in some 100000
Kr. in foreign exchange during
the coming year.
A big factor in this years log
ing program will be the motor
driven saws-a large number of
which have already been purchas-
ed abroad. Five hundred 35-pound
chain saws were recently purchas-
ed from a Vancouver, Canada,
firm, and Norwegian producers
are planning to turn out a slight
ly lighter model in the near fu-
ture.
In statement to the Canadian
press, the Norwegian purchasing
representative noted that in time
Norway could use 5000 of these
saws in its pulp and paper indus
try.
