ST.ALIN DEAD?
A

No official verification has been received of the death of Stalin of Russia.
 RumOrs concerning his demise were rife in the city early this week which were the result. no doubt, of the journey of Swed- ish cancer specialists call to the Russ Capitol. He refused to state whom he was to call upon, however.
 The dispatch was said to en- manate from Switzerland
 In event of his passing it is not altogether improbable that the fact will be kept secret for sometime.
 Very probably his successor will be kept in the background until such time as deemed nec- -essary for official action.

Letter To Oslo
School Girl Ends
Eisenhower Story

NEW YORK, N. Y. - Specula-
lions in the Norwegian press as
to General Eisenhower's Norwe-
gian ancestry were ended recently
when a little Oslo schoolgirl re-
ceived a letter from the Generals
adjutant. Until then, various Nor
Wegion dailies had sought to con-
firm that the Generals mother
was the daughter of a Norwegian
immigrant who had settled in Wis
consin in the 1S5Os. One of the
papers even went so far as to
print a photo of the settlers in
question 1t was this photo which
little Rita in her enthusiasm sent
to General Eisenhower, and this
is the reply she received. Dear
Rita: General Eisenhower is on va
cation but l know he will be very
grateful for your thoughtfulness in
sending him the newspaper clip
ping. I'm afraid I'll have to tell
you, however, that the persons in
the picture are not related to the
General, as his mother came from
the state of Virginia where her
parents lived before she was mar
ried. Ancestors of the Generals
father have lived in Pennsylvania
for many generations. Thank you
for your pleasant letter. 1 will see
to it that the General receives it
Immediately upon his return. Kind

800 Reindeer
From Norway To
Newfoundland

NEW YORK, N. Y. (RNIS) -
Prospects of the overseas trans
fer of 5000 reindeer from the Lap
districts of Arctic Norway to
are indicated in a
recent Oslo dispatch. According to
the report, a New York business
man has approached the Norwe-
gian Export Council offering to
purchase a preliminary lot of 1900
animals. The offer calls for ship
ment from Norway Between July
LIST and September LIST of this year
with approximately 1900 deer in
the first transfer. The purchase
offer has been sent out to Lap
reindeer owners in the various
northern districts, but no inter-
ested sellers have yet appeared.
1t is still to early to say how the
transaction will develop. notes the
Export Council. Although Nor
ways policy has stressed expan-
sion of domestic reindeer herds,
it is possible than an eventual sale
would be authorized in view of
the offer of dollar payment.

White Book

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Shortly af-
ter Norways liberation in 1915,
the Norwegian and Swedish Gov
ernments agreed to publish Off
cial White Books presenting each
of the Governments versions of
their relations with each other dur
ing the war period, 1t was agreed
that the publications were to ap-
pear at the same time and were
to follow mutual consultations in
the interest of clarifying misun-
derstandings growing out of the
war years.
Second volumes of Norwegian
and Swedish White Books have
now appeared-each Of them COW
eering a similar period of Nor
Wegian-Swedish relations during
the war. Both cover King Haakon's
half-hour in Sweden during t h G
German air attack on Drevsjo in
1910, diplomatic representation to
1943 when Swedish Minister Beck
Friis was accredited to the Nor
wegian Government in London, the
activities and inconvenience of
the Norwegian Legation in neu-
trail Sweden, as well as a member
of other issues. A particularly in
teresting chapter in the Norwegian
publication, however, deals with
the attitude of the Swedish Press
toward Norway's struggle, and
that of the Swedish authorities
toward the press. Considerable
space is also allotted to review
of the transit of Germanys Engel
brecht Division following Ger
many's declaration of war against

Price Rise Again
Threatens Norway
Wages

NEW YORK, N. Y. = BY April
18th, Norwegian prices were again
approaching the danger point.
Based on 1888 averages, the mid
April index figure was 1903 only
5 of a point below the maximum
rise permitted under existing wage
contracts. Nationwide labor-man-
agement agreements, which have
given Norway over three years of
unbroken industrial peace since
wars end, will be at stake should
this rise continue. One of their
basic clauses gears wages to
prices, with the stipulation that
Labor will be permitted to make
new wage demands in the event
prices top the 1908 figure. In an
effort to block this trend. the Nor
wegian Price directorate has an
nounced a reduction in the price
of sugar-4O ore g cents) per Kg.,
with the resulting difference to be
met from state funds. Consider
ing the increased purchases of SUI
gar anticipated during the sum-
mer months it is expected that
this move will keep the general
price level below the danger mark.
