Pacific War History
Still Being Prepared
By Macarthur Aides

TOKYO. Feb. 16 (CDN.-A $780,
o0o-word history of the Pacific war
and the subsequent occupation of
Japan, with Gen. Macarthur in the
starring role, has been in prepara-
ton here for more than a year.
And the end is not yet in sight.
Product of many minds, this
unique literary project is under the
direction Of Maj. Gen. Charles A.
Willoughby, Gen. MacArthur's in
telligence officer throughout the
war, as editor-in chief. 1t will be
divided into four volumes, as fol-
lows:
Vol. 1. MacArthur's campaigns in
the Pacific.
Vol. 2. japanese campaigns
against Macarthur.
Vol. 8. Macarthur in Japan.
Vol. 4. Macarthur in Japan.
Compilers Warned.
Those associated with the prep
aration of the history have been
cautioned against discussing it with
correspondents for fear 1t will be
used as political ammunition against
Gen. Macarthur.
Vol. l originally was scheduled to
be released in June. Some persons
professed to see political signifi-
canoe in this date, since June is
the month of the Republican Ma
tional Convention. Whatever the
REASON, publication has now been
postponed until summer.
Jap Editors Angered.
Vol. 2, as the title indicates, Is
the story of the war from the Japa-
nese point of view. Ten or more
purged Japanese admTals and gen.
erals have been employed as edi-
tors, to give the volume authentic
flavor. Several of them are sore
because, they say, the volume Is
devoted chiefly to an account Of
how Gen. Macarthur out-foxed
them.
Vols. 3 and relate the progress
of the occupation under Gen. Mac
Arthur's direction.
Just how many Army Department
civilians are employed on the prof.
ect is difficult to determine. How
ever, at least 20 have been working
on Vol. l alone.
Gen. Willoughby is unable TO say
when the project will be completed.

Pool Winner Still Trying 7:21 pm

The only person residing in Kodiak who knows how 1t feels to win the Nenana Ice Pool Is Margo Lester, photography studio owner, and she didn't even guess the correct time for the ice.break-up.
 Five years ago. in 1s43, the ice broke on April 2S at 7:22 pnf. No one held a ticket on thss minute, but there were 2 tickets on 7:2l and , on 7:23. Mrs- Lester had 8 half interest in one of the two preceding the right minute, and as a result netted little over S5,000.
 Every year since she has used April 2s at 7:21 for one of her tickets, but for the others she buys she has no system at all.
 Mrs. Lester lived in Anehor- age at the time she won the ice pool, and a good share of her lucky sum went to building 2 new home for herself there.

OSLO.-Prospects of any early
large-scale electric power trans
fers between Norway and neigh
boring countries have been dimmed
by a recent report of the Nor
wegian Power Export Study Coun-
Gil. The same report includes a
number of long-range proposals,
however, which may indicate an
ultimate electric power net in
Guiding Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, and England within tn e
next decade.
Since 1881 when these studies
were first instituted, number of
changes occurred which cut short
any plans for the early export of
Norwegian electric power-among
them the rapid increase of home
industries power needs. Following
liberation, the Study Council has
concentrated mainly on plans for
linking the Norwegian and Swed-
ish power nets, and now both coun-
tries have agreed to build power
lines which will meet at the Dor
der.

the first time approached one bill
lion kronor. The increase is caused
chiefly by two new social reforms
voted by last years session of the
Riksdag; substantially greater old
age pension to all persons over
sixty-seven years, and cash allow
ances to most children under six
teen.
The general increase for social
welfare is, in fact, even greater
than these figures indicate, since
during the past year new De-
partment of the Interior has been
founded to take over some of the
earlier functions of the Social Wei
fare Department. Thus matters
concerning public health, hospital
care, and the State Police organi-
zation are now handled by the new
division, which requests 229 mil
lion kronor ($63,6 million), to be
spent mainly on hospitals and med
1cal care.

Electric Power Net Joining Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and England Seen

The first appropriation for con-
struction of this line was made by
the Norwegian Parliament in 1947,
with the Solbergfoss power plant
the initial source on the Norwe-
gian side. This will make possible
a transfer during periods of power
surplus, or at times when plants
on either side of the line might
suffer temporary breakdown.

mark or England hinges on fur

lion kronor, the Government may
possibly have to borrow 200 mil
lion kronor.
Among the means suggested by
the Government for the purpose of
checking inflation-which in Swe-
den is still rather moderate-are
restrictions on investments, re-
duced consumption caused by high
er taxes on non-essential goods
and by increased control of the
purchasing power such as ceiling
on dividends, and an intensified
savings campaign. In the interest
of economy, construction of new
houses is also to be held down.
Finance Minister Comments On
Sweden's Dollar Shortage
Commenting on Sweden's pres
ent shortage of dollars, Ernst
Wigforss, Minister of Finance. de-
clared that the extent of the de-
mands on Swedens dollar reserves
was not foreseen sufficiently
early, and this has placed Sweden
in a strained situation. This does
not, however, mean that surplus
of imports represents an unfavor-
able factor in the country's eco
nomic life. A big foreign exchange
reserve is not always to be pre-
ferred to a commodity reserve, or
to an increase in production.
Mr.. Wigforss ended his analysis
of the budget and Sweden's finan-
cial situation by saying that infla-
ton can be stopped if the economic
situation all over Europe gradually
improves, which now seems within
the realm of possibility. He
stressed, however, that the Swed-
ish Institute of Economic Research
does not expect that the dearth of
fuel and food stuffs will be COM
pletely offset before 1851 Regard
ing the economic situation in the
United States, which is of decisive
importance to Sweden, the Insti-
tute believes that the current in
flation tendency will continue
through 194S.

Expenses for the national de-
Tense is the next highest item on
the budget, or 1876 million kronor
($2O5 million), a decrease of 62
million kronor as compared with
the current budget year. The ex-
penditure of the Department of
Education and Church Affairs is
calculated to increase by go mil
lion kronor to 532 million kronor
(S147,5 million). Other branches,
aside from that of the national de-
Tense, offer considerably reduced
budgets. They are the Departments
of Communications, Agriculture,
and Supply. The expenditure of the
last mentioned is lowered by 81
million kronor thanks to the abo-
lition of subsidies for certain i'm
ports.
Budget Over Balanced BY Means
of Proposed Indirect Taxes
The Government revenues for

million kr. (S1,324 million), and ex-
penditures 1920 million ($1,175
million). The surplus calculated at
$50 million kr. ($150 million), is to
be achieved, partly by higher tele-
phone rates and increased railroad
fares $50 million kronor), partly
by increased taxes on tobacco, al
coholic beverages, wines, gasoline,
etc. (450 million kronor), and on
lottery tickets $50 million kronor) i.

THE high cost of living,
bolsered by sky-high but
ter prices, has caused thousands
of Chicago consumers to turn
to margarine as substitute.
Accurate figures aren't avail
able, but if Chicago conforms
to the national average, about
Is million pounds of margar-
inc probably are consumed here
every year.
The reason for the switch is
obvious: margarine costs less
than half as much as butter.
You can get good margarine
for as little as 81 cents.
THE BIGGEST drawback to
the use of margarine in Illinois
is the fact that its yellow color
ing matter must be mixed into
the white brick that the house
wife buys the store.
Actually. when margarine is
made It's yellow. State law re-
quires that il be bleached white
before IFS sold.
On the other hand, butter,
which is yellow when it's sold,
is nearly white during three
fourths of the year. 1t must be
artifically colored by the dairy
before it's sold.
HOW DOES margarine COM
pare to butter in food value?
