Island Of bornho|m Strides The
Highway Of Postwar Recovery

Rome, the little capital of Den
marks island of Bornholm in the
Baltic, would be a perfect setting
for an operetta in the style of the
White Horse Inn.
One-story, half-timbered cot
tages in old rose or yellow plaster
checked by black hand-hewn
beams, crowd up the narrow tiled
sidewalks which receive a good
scrubbing every morning from
sturdy Danish housewives.
Six-foot holly trees and roses
blooming in November, fill the
brick-walled gardens of Ronne's
gay houses, and even the empty
cellars left by bombs are now over
grown with ivy and fireweed.
At this time of year, the small
paned cottage windows are sealed
against winter storms, and almost
every morning, the fog horn in the
harbor groans its warning over
the crashing breakers of the
Baltic.
Against this background, it was
somewhat startling to see the
Nov. 3 newspaper broadsheets on
R0nne's billboards. Under three
inch headlines in Bornholm
Tidende and the Social-Demokrat,
President Truman's smiling pic
ture drew eager groups of Born
holmites to read all about it.

matter of vital Importance to the
people of Europe this year. Will

that their own future hangs to a
large extent on the decisions the

at any rate, there were numerous
indications that the results of the
election were greeted by gen.
eral feeling of relief that no un-
known qualities would be pro-
jected on the American scene dur
ing the next four years.
On May Z, 1945, although the
war in Europe had been declared
over, 80 fires still ragged in the
ruins of as many tiny bombed
homes in Rome. The night before,
the people had been dancing in

New Bells For
Oslo City Hall

The largest bell ever to be cast
in Norway was recently poured at
the Ilsen Nauens Bell Foundry in
Tonsberg. Ordered for the new
City Hall in Oslo, the bell will
weigh over four tons and will be
nearly twice the size of any to be
found in Norway today.
This particular bell will ring
only on festive occasions. The first
two bells of the new City Hall
carrillon have already been cast,
and it is expected that the COM
plete set will be in place for the
City of Oslo's 9OO-year jubilee N

According to plan, the large bell
will also be hung in the City Hall

Sweden Tests
New Warship

STOCKHOLM On November
/, the first unit in a series of
Swedish destroyers of a new larg-
er type, the ''Uppiand," completed
her final tests in a rough sea off
the Swedish West coast. Among
the 10 experts ON board was the
Assistant Chief of the Swedish
Naval Staff, Admiral Stig Erics-
son, who declared that the tests
were a complete success and that
two more destroyers of the same
type are to be built.
The Uppland, built in the Nays
own shipyard at Karlskrona, has
displacement of 1900 tons, and
it's prcpelling machinery has ca
pacity of no less than $4,000 hip.
She is all-welded an d equipped
with a double bottom, which gives
increased protection against tor
pedoes and mines The armament
consists of four all-automatic 12-
centimetre Bcfors guns in tw o
double turrets, Is anti-aircraft
guns, six 53,2-cm torpedo tubes
and four depth-charge throwers.
The ship has crew of 250.

send the workers to the guns
but they also noted that the trans
portation of the guns each way
took very little time.
In discussions of what the peo-
pie of Bornholm would do in case
of another war, the answer is al
ways another question: What
could we do?"
Meanwhile, the rebuilding is al
most completed and the empty
cellars are nearly all built over
with neat, modern homes in the
same general style as those which
were destroyed.
An important contribution was
made by Sweden, where a ST.
100000 collection taken up for
Bornholm directly after the bomb
ings, provided 1925 one-family pre-
fabricated houses as a Swedish
gift to Rome and Nexo.

The State Department dis
closed today that it has spg-

governments "some form of
Decentralization" of the Ant
arctic.
The department did not specify
whether it contemplated United
Nations administration of the South
Polar region or some other form of
international administration.
Internationalization of the Ant
arctic was suggested, the department
said, as most effective way to solve
conflicting claims of various nations
to the territory and to promote
scientific investigation and research
in the area.
The suggestion was made in in
formal. approaches to Argentina

land, Norway and Great Britain

Conflicting Claims in Area.
These countries have asserted
claims to parts of the Antarctic
which have not been recognized by
the United States. Americans have
explored the area extensively but
this Government never has asserted
any formal territorial claims of its
own.
The State Department said it ex-
poets the Antarctic question will
require an extended exchange OF
views, consideration of suggestions
and probably reconciliation of vary
ing viewpoints.
Until such exchange of views
and necessary further study is COM
pleted," the department added, 'it
is not believed that any useful pur-
pose could be accomplished by a
conference on the subject and no
such conference is contemplated at
present"
The British government, as re-
ported in press dispatches in Lon
don, is prepared to accept in prin-
ciple the American proposal for
Observation-Disclosures of a large part
of the Antarctic continent. Argen-
tina and Chile have been reported

flying boat, cracked a Navy dis
tance record today when she
passed over Ann Arbor, Mich, at
1921 am. (EST) on what started

Naval Air Station at Crosse Isle,

warning forecasters said cau-
tiously today that, unless an un-
usual change occurs, the Atlantic
hurricane mo longer offers a
threat to Florida"
Forecaster Grady Norton refused
to speculate on the 115-mile-an-

would remove any possible threat to

coasts. The tiny, but vicious hurri-
cane is now TOO to 750 miles east

iow,"' he added.
Speed Increases During Night.
During the night, its speed in
creased from Is miles an hour to

Forecasters said If the storm con-
tinued on its course, the first effects
probably will be felt along the
Atlantic Coast line tomorrow. No
threat to the coast, however, is ex-
pected to become evident before late
today, and then the hurricane would
still be far enough offshore for
