AS this issue goes to press the
Swedish people will celebrate the
Goth birthday of King Gustaf V,
the worlds oldest reigning mon
arch and the first king in the
10OO-year history of the Swedish
kingdom who has reigned for more
than 40 years.
In December last, on the fortieth
anniversary of King Gustaf's ac-
cession to the throne, Sweden's
Prime Minister Tage Erlander re-
called the unparalleled social, cul-
tural and economic progress that
has taken place in Sweden during
the last few decades. During this
period, King Gustaf has stood as
the foremost representative of
Sweden and all that is Swedish. He
has gained the respect, loyalty
and affection of his people, and
he stands out, in bad no less than
in good times, as the rallying fig
ure the respected and beloved
Father of the Country" the Prime
Minister said.
King Gustaf assembled to the
Swedish throne in period of rapid
and promising development. Swe-
dens union with Norway had been
dissolved, but the issues and prob
lens arising out of that crisis had
been settled. Democracy was re-
placing the old patriarchal system
of the 10th century, and King
Gustaf took up his duties along
democratic lines, declining to be
crowned. and adopting the motto:
with the People. for the
Country"
Since that time, the process Of
democracy and parliamentary gov

 Few ever came back after once leaving our group, and the ones that did were more dead than alive, from the hell of tor turc inflicted upon them by our captors. They soon died. If not from the torture, from exposure and malnutrition.
 As the days and weeks rolled by we slowly lost weight from short rations issued by the Japs. These rations consisted of any thing that was edible even if bitter We were given small helping every day for a few weeks. then every other day. Our variation in diet came in the form of any meat animals. from rats to dogs when we were lucky to catch one.

More Men Shoppers.
Department stores, past their
peak in Christmas gift shopping,
noted increased numbers of men in
stores this week, as they followed
the tradition of last-minute shop
ping.
Last Saturdays sales failed to
come up to the peak of a week
earlier, but storemen explained the
second Saturday before Christmas
is usually their biggest day.
One large department store execu-
tive said its unit sales are up from
last years, but that dollar volume
is below the records set in Decem-
Der, 1947. This, he said, may result
from the fact prices of many goods
are down from last years highs.

Device Measures
Twist Made by
Feather on Steel
BY the Associoted Press

PITTSBURGH. Dec. 22.-West-
inghouse scientists yesterday rest
ed a feather against a steel bar
and then measured how much the
bar was twisted.
The occasion was demonstra-
ton of their newly developed de-
vice to make better torque meters
-gadgets that measure power de-
livered by airplane propellors, jet
engines, and other rotating ma
chinery.
The incredibly sensitive device,
known as a twist detectos" by its
designers, William P. Welch and
Benjamin j. Cametti, at the West
inghous research labs here, will
measure a twist of less than one
millionth of an inch.
In a demonstration, a steel shaft,
rs inches long and one inch thick,
was clamped rigid in viselike
arrangement on one end. An 18-
inch crossarm was attached to the
bars middle, 9 inches away.
Then feather was gently
placed on the crossarm. The new
device then measured the twist in
the bar caused by the extra weight
of the feather. The twist. accord
ing to the detector, was between
one millionth and one half-mil-
lionth of an inch.
