"Tirpitz" To Be
Broken Up

OSLO-Fate of the wrecked
Nazi battleship "Tirpitz' has now
been decided, according to recent
Oslo reports. Once judged one of
the worlds most powerful fight
ing ships, the "Tirpitz' has been
stranded bottom-up on a north
Norway beach since November,
1914, when 80 British Lancasters
capsized her with 6-ton bombs in
the shallow waters near Tromso.
At one time, certain officials in
the Tromso district proposed that
the "Tirpitz" remain right where
she was-terming her first-class
tourist attraction. The Norwegian
Directorate for Enemy Property
saw otherwise, however, and has
now sold the wreck to the Oslo
wrecking firm Hovding Skipsopp-
hugging The task of breaking up
the "Tirpitz' will begin this sum-
mer, according to the Oslo report.

Penicillin May Save
Millions In Fight
On Scarlet Fever

STOCKHOLM, June 20. (By
airmail)-Penicillin is now used
with great success in Sweden in
combating scarlet fever. Dr. A.
Flaum, of the Epidemic Hospital
in Lund, has just revealed the
excellent results he has achieved
by applying this drug over a year.
Whereas the sulfa preparations
are not strong enough to kill the
tenacious pus bacteria which are
found in the mouth and throat of
scarlet fever patients, penicillin is
able to accomplish this, and in a
remarkably short time.
DR.. Flaum has had some $50
cases under his observation in the
last year. Of these, 80 per cent
recovered within one or two
weeks and usually after only one
treatment. No relapse or after
effect was noticed-a rare occur
renee with scarlet fever. which
often brings other diseases in its
wake.
Each year 10000 people get
scarlet fever in Sweden. DR..
Flaum estimates that by using
penicillin, a saving of two mil
lion kronor may be achieved be-
cause of the greatly reduced pc
Rod of disqualification.

land every summer, which is about
the same number as the total pop
ulation of the island. The major
ity are, of course, Swedes, but the
number of foreign visitors is con-
siderable, with Englishmen dom
mating. Before the war ocean-go-
ing vessels were often anchored
in the roads outside Visby while
their passengers visited the histor-
ic sights and enjoyed the scenic
beauty.
Visby, the City of Ruins and Roses
When walking along the quiet
streets of Visby among the re-
markable monuments of the mid
die ages, the visitor may think he
has been brought 700 years back.
The sunny insular climate and the
rich vegetation Visby is es-
pecially famed for it's roses al
so contribute towards giving a
special atmosphere to the old city,
beautifully situated on terraces
close to the sea.
But there are also modern fea-
lures. There are modern hotels and
restaurants to serve the tourists,
while dancing, concerts and thea
trical performances in the ruins
are arranged for their entertain
ment. Excellent bathing beaches
extend round practically the whole
island and the fashionable resort
Snackgardsbaden, near Visby, has
recently been provided with a
large swimming pool, so that the
visitors can enjoy a well-tempered
swim even if Neptune should be in
bad humour and send cold cur
rents along the shores of Gotland.

Hollywood Wants
Peer Gynt Rights

OSLO-According 20 the Swe-
dish producer Arvid Englind,
visiting in Oslo recently. Holly
woods David Selznick has offered
$4,000 for movie rights to Hen
rick Ibsen's Peer Gynt" together
with Grieg's musical score. SELF
nick has already bought Ibsen's
Doll House" for $4,000, and the
Peer Gynt" negotiations are now
said to be nearing conclusion. Two
other Ibsen dramas, pillars of
Society" and AN Enemy of the
People" are also being considered
by Hollywood, it is reported Here
the figure is said to be $4,000.
The Ibsen works, protected in
western Europe under the Bern
Convention until 1857, do not en-
joy such protection in the United
States. AS far as American film
ing of the Ibsen pieces is con-
cerned however, degree of pro-
lection still exists, considering ac-
ton which might eventually be
taken against such films were
they to be shown in a country
bound by the Bern agreement.
Negotiations are said to be I'M
der way at the present time with
Ibsen and Grieg heirs concerning
eventual division of proceeds from
a possible Peer Gynt" sale.

after which she will be turned

citation. In the winter she will be

Iron Age Village
Being Excavated
On Old Got|and

STOCKHOLM-About 70 arch
biologists from Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Finland, Iceland d
England will participate this sum-
mer in the excavation of one of the
most remarkable ancient villages
in the Scandinavian countries,
Vallhagar on the island of Got
land in the Baltic, dating from the
middle of the iron age. The exca-
walton was prepared and COM
menced by a group of archaeolo-
sists last summer under the di-
rection of the Swedish antiquarian,
DR.. Marten Stenberger, who is
also the leader of this years eX-
petition.
I'VE do not expect to make any
sensational archaeological finds"
says DR.. Stenberger in a news
paper interview" Rather, our main
task is to make a detailed inves-
tigation of the settlement and thus
try to determine the design and
character of the village. We also
hope to get some idea of how it's
inhabitants lived their daily life"
Specialists, biologists, botanists
and PSYCHOLOGISTS, will lend a help
ing hand for such tasks as phos-
phate investigations and pollen an
alyses. The Swedish Air Force has
already given its support to the
expedition by photographing the
area from various angles, and
Swedish mine clearance troops
will try to trace hidden metal OBJ
jects by means of electrical mine
detecting equipment. By the end
of September the excavations will
be completed. After the final re-
vision of the material, the results
will be published in a work issued
jointly by the participating scien-
fists.
"The Paradise of ArchaeOlogists"
Numerous finds which have
made Gotland known as a verit-
able paradise for archaeologists-
tell their fascinating tale of the
history of this island. situated in
the Baltic. Not long after the end
of the great ice age, the first in
habitants settled on the island.
During the bronze age they be-
came seafaring people, and these
traditions were continued during
the Viking era, when they extend
ed their voyages all the way to
Byzantium via the Russian rivers.
It is maintained that Vikings from
Gotland strongly contributed to-
wards creating the commercial
route from the Orient to western
Europe that remained predomin-
ant for centuries. 1t was Gotland's
geographical situation on this
route that made the island = and
especially its capital Visby -
wealthy and powerful. There are

COYOTE SKIN GAME
 IN NOT FOR NAVAJO

GALLUP, N. M. (P)-A Marine Corps major shot a coyote near here recently and thereby learned bit of Navajo religion.
 The major searched all over town, with no success, to find an Indian to skin the animal so he could keep the hide as a trophy. He finally learned that the Navajo holds the coyote in such extreme contempt that he will have nothing to do with the animal, dead or alive.
 The major finally got one of the town butchers to do the job.
