Sweden Ends Wood
PuI p Export Fee

STOCKHOLM, Sept. II. = (By
wireleless)-The Swedish Govern
ment on September 10 decided to
remove the so-called business
cycle equalization charge" of $3.50
levied on each short ton of chem
ical wood pulp exported from
Sweden. This fee was added by
the government in 1947 after an
agreement with the wood pulp in
dustry. The step was taken as
means of fighting initiation; by i'm
posing this charge it was hoped
that the high pulp prices prevail
ing in the world market would not
apply also to the Swedish domestic
market. Half of the fee was set
aside for a so-called business
cycle equalization fund" which by
1851 must be paid back to the pulp
producers; the other half is to be
used for social welfare causes
among the workers. After the ex-
port tax was introduced, pulp
prices in the. United States and
Canada decreased, and this year
the export of Swedish pulp to
America has fallen off materially.
The Swedish export has instead
been concentrated on soft cur
rency countries. In view of this
situation, the Government abolish

The Liberals, Conservatives and

bloc held by Ohlin to contest the

First returns, largely from
Stockholm, posed a distinct threat

districts gave the bloc $4,000
votes to $4,000 for the Social

He traced the history OF the

Ignorance on the part Of

many violations and arrests for
improper passing" Dwight
Havens, president OF the Neb-
raska State Safety Council,
said today.
Few motorists seem to kno
that when the solid line in the
center stripe is in their lane, it
means no passing" Havens
continued. The nd-passing
zone IS a safety measure de-
signed to provide motorists Wi
tn a warning that in 1000 fet
from the start Of the line his
vision is obscured," he said.
Previously there were COM
plapints on lack OF stripping
throughout the state, however,
the State Highway Department
at present reports it has two
stripping machines in action.
They will stripe approximate
ely $500 miles Of roadway this
summer.
Last year only one machine
was in use and the crew painted
1477 miles thus far the two
machines have striped over !, 8
so miles and two months rema
in in the stripping season.
No passing zones are being
painted on federal and state
highways this season. Last VI
only federal highways receiv-
ed this treatment.
"We Of the State Safety Cou
neil urge the Nebraska motor
lists to observe the no-passing
zone. Nearly Is per cent Of all

were caused BY improper pass
ing on the part of one OF the
