New Singers Heard
In Guilds 2 Operas
Ry Elena de Suyn
By Elena de Soyn

The Washington Opera Guilds
repeat performance last night in the
Lisner Auditorium was limited to
two operas: Puccini's sister An
gelica" and "Gianni-Schicchi. /"
"The Cloak" was omitted beca''@e OF
illness OF one Of the principals,
Leonard Lloyd.
New singers. such as Marie Rud-
dell In the title role Of Sister An
gelica," supported by Helen Treich-
Ter, the Abbess; Iris Bailey, Mistress
Of Novices; Eleanor Starr, Grace
Hronopulos, Marion JUL and Rita
Dreyfus made their debut. In
"Gianni Schicchi" the following ap-
peared for the first time: Annette
Morse, Ethel Shields. Vivian Wood
and Jacqueline Lynch. The rest OF
the participants Of either opera had
been heard already on the flrst
night.
The enjoyable part Of these pres
entations rested in the ensemble OF
the young singers. Although mex
perienced in opera, they showed the

effect Of serious individual prepara-
ton in solo and team work. The
nature Of the music, at odds har-
monically with the vocal parts. diff
cult as to intervals and rhythms,
called for Ynusicianship that was
manifested in more than one way.
It was q good performance for an
amateur group which had no ex-
pectation Of being measured by pro-
fessional standards or OF being COM
pared with famous companies in
existence. The alma chance for
the inexperienced to prove them
selves-was justified by the per-
Torrance. Had a modest admission
price been asked instead OF a top
price, there might have been more
interest manifested.

even though Norway, Sweden, and
Denmark may not be in complete
agreement on all foreign policy
questions at the present time. I'VE

Minister, feel that developments
in war technique during and fol-
lowing the last war have resulted
in our occupying a very exposed
position, strategically speaking
We therefore believe that it is cor
rect to assume the realistic view
that chances of keeping our
country out of an eventual war
are not particularly great.
Earlier, in review of Norway's
economic development since liber-
alton, Minister Lange paid high
tribute to the Marshall Plan as
IAN aid to self help" He explained
how reconstruction planners h
counted on augmenting war-end
exchange reserves with foreign
loans contracted on a business
basis. Though developments were
favorable during the first two
years after liberation, 1947 con-
fronted Norway with problems the
same as those facing the rest of
Western Europe. ut was there
fore that Norway welcomed the
Marshall Plan: not only because
we ourselves would be directly
benefited, but because it will aid
in furthering cooperation in the
economic field among European
lands, and will help Europe as a
whole to its feet.
THE Marshall Plan is a grand
and generous effort on the part of
the American people-one prob
ably unique in history. 1t aims at
leanding aid to self help which is
just what we need. For" concluded

NEW YORK, N. Y.-(RNIS)-
Addressing a Copenhagen political
rally marking Denmark's Consti-
ton Day on June 9Th, Norwegian
Foreign Minister Harvard M.
Lange called for continued efforts
by the three Northern Countries
to secure a closer policy align
ment. Special stress was given to
the recognition of individual prob
lens which "can not always be
solved in accordance with a joint
northern policy line and which
vary fer each of the three lands
despite the broad areas of COM
mon tradition and interest. THE
clear recognition of these difficult
ties is in reality the best founda-
ton for the practical and realis-
tic cooperation which must con-
stitute cur policy noted t h

ner sufficient. The same applies to
foreign policy Were we not aware
of it before, the war has at any
rate fought us that the positions
of the several Northern Countries
do differ. We have all had our
own experiences" Minister LANCE
paid high praise to the caliber of
public debate on these differences,
however, and termed open public
discussion prerequisite for
closer cooperation. Looking to the
future, he admitted that it is not
yet possible to ascertain the
course of developments. 1.-THE only
thing we know, unfortunately, is
that they entail serious elements
of risk, and that we must now
face this truth without being
gripped by hysteria.'

STOCKHOLM.-(By airmaiD :
The Swedish Airlines (ABA) re-
Gently signed a contract with the
Saab Aircraft Company, in Lin
hoping, for ten "Saab-Scandia"
passenger planes for their Swed-
ish and European lines. The pur-
chasing sum is reported to be
about S4.2OO,O0O, and the planes
will be delivered successfully until
the end of 1949.
The Scandal" is a twin-engine,
low-wing monoplane, capable of
carrying "a to 80 passengers. The
fuselage is of all-metal design and
two 1850 HIP Pratt & Whitney
engines give the craft a cruising
speed of 224 miles per hour. For
high-altitude flying, the plane may
be equipped with pressurized cabin
and two 1850 HIP engines produc-
ing a cruising speed of 24S miles
per hour. It's moderate wing load
contributes to flying safety; flaps
are used to reduce the landing
speed and extend along the greater

part of the Wing, as well as under
the fuselage. 1t is equipped with
tricycle. landing gear. The SYM
metrical location of the passenger
accommodation in relation to the
center of gravity of the aircraft
considerably reduces the effect Of
bumpy air.
The "Scandia" is now on the as
sembly line in the Saab works.
One feature which impressed avia-
ton experts most when the plane
was first demonstrated was that it
could take off and ascend on one
engine only. The taking-off dis
lance required is only about 1900
feet, making the plane easy to
handle even on small fields.
The deal has attracted great at
tention in Sweden aviation circles
and in the Swedish press, which
emphasizes that Sweden is now
entering the field of international
competition as manufacturers of
large passenger aircraft.

Norway Exports Up

NEW YORK, N. Y. (RNIC) =
Norwegian exports during April
Excluding ships) set new record
for the month with value of 1872
100000 Kr. 6 Kr.-$1.00). Ex-
ports for the first three months
of 194S have averaged 100000, 900
Kr. while the April figure for 1947
was but 100000 Kr. Shipments
of fish and wood derivatives for
the month reached new highs, and
were largely responsible for push
ing exports during the first four
months of 1948 to 637, 100000 Kr
some 2O5, 100000 Kr. above those
for the same period last year
Though April imports were great
er than for the previous year. i'm
port increases over the first four
months of 1947 represent a mere
100000 Kr.
Fish exports during these first
four months totalled 92,100,000
Kr. against 100000 for the
same period last year; wood pro-
ducts exports, 172,600,000 Kr.
against 13O,90O,OO0 Kr.; metals
100000 Kr. against 67,200,O00
Kr; and cod liver Oil and whale
fat S2,800,00O Kr~ against 394OO,-
900. 1t is noted that practically
the whole of the 194s export in
crease can be attributed to expan-
sion within these four categories.
While the export program shows
satisfactory results, the picture is
not equally promising as far as
import licensing and foreign ex-
change are concerned : especially
when viewed against the planned
import program. Licenses grant
ed from Jan. 1st to April 18th COW
err imports of 66s,9sO,O 900 Kr.,
while by May LIST, goods valued
at 934 100000 Kr. had been i'm
ported since the first of the year.
AS the licenses issued cover deliv-
cries made at considerably later
dates, imports are expected to drop
off toward mid-year Shortages of
U. S. dollars and Belgium francs
represent weak spots in the i'm
port program. Licenses for dollar
imports as of May 18th totalled i.
182.OOO,O00 Kr. against the 340,-t
100000 Kr. anticipated under the
program. For Belgium francs, the
figure was 21,4O.OO0 out of a pro-
posed year figure of 1874, 1000 |

den out of the war, and he was
convinced that the three Nordic
countries ought to act in concert
In December 1914 he invited the
Kings of Denmark and Norway
TO Malmo to discuss questions of
common interest to them all. The
meetings afterwards provide to
have exercised a profound influ-
.ence on the Nordic cooperation
during the war.
The Nordic nations fortunately
escaped being involved in the
First World War. During the in
ter-war period, King Gustaf, in
collaboration with his Government
and the Riksdag, sought to give all
possible support to the actions
taken to establish peaceful inter-
national relations, and Sweden
took an interested part in the work
OF the League of Nations.
Appealed for War-Stricken
Peoples
King GuStaf'S attitude when the
Second World War was approch-
ing was the same as it had always
been to support the work for
peace. He hoped to the very last
for a peaceful settlement. Once
again he invited the Nordic Kings

ing against the treatment of the
Jews under the Nazi government.
During and after the two World
Wars Sweden has sought to the
best of her powers to assist the
war-ravaged countries. King Gus
tat has in every way, in public
and privately, supported these &C
tons, in which also other men,
bers of the Royal Family have
been engaged, notably his brother,
Prince Carl, and his nephew,
Count Folks Bernadotte, who in
1915 succeeded Prince Carl as
President of the Swedish Red
Cross.
A Popular King
King Gustaf enjoys a deep
rooted and sincere popularity and
respect among all groups of the
Swedish people. All those who
have come into contact with him
can bear witness to his personal
friendliness. He is simple in his
conduct, and he never deliberately
seeks popularity. He has always
disapproved of unnecessary pomp
and circumstances, but whenever
the occasion demands it, he dis
plays a dignity worthy of a reign
ing monarch.
King Gustaf's physical agility is
too widely known to require much
comment. Tennis has always been
/ his favorite recreation, and until
couple of years ago Mr.. G."
was playing his daily game, often
with the country's best players.
1t was with great regret that he
had to follow the advice of his
physicians to leave the tennis
court. but he is still frequently
seen among the spectators at ma
jor tennis events. He is also an
enthusiastic huntsman, and takes
a regular part in the seasons elk
or partridge shooting. and in sum-
mer he likes to go fishing in the
waters round his beautiful sum-
mer residence Tullgarn, neal
Stockholm.
