Fish Scales Used
In New Industry

Glistening scales of the herring
are providing raw material for a
new Norwegian industry. The thin
luminous film which coats the fish
scales is being processed by two
new Norwegian firms into pearl
paste now in high demand by eel
luloid, plastic, and bakelite indus
tries. The product is also used in
the manufacture of artists colors
and nail polish as well as artificial
pearls.
A highly complicated process,
the manufacture of pearl paste
was a carefully guarded produc-
ton secret until the last decade
German firms earlier produced the
bulk of this product, importing
their raw materials from Norway
Purchasers of the new Norwegian
export item are pleased with its
high quality. With its extremely
rich herring fisheries, Norway is
in a good position to expand out
put to meet growing demand

The Three Scandinavian Nations Failed
To Reach Agreement On Defense Alliance

The Scandinavian defense talks
which adjourned in Copenhagen on
January "a. and were resumed in
Oslo on Saturday, January 90,
failed to reach agreement.
Press reports had seen Denmark
in the role of mediator between
Norwegian and Swedish views.
And for the record, extracts of
Copenhagen editorial comments on
the situation, in between these two
last conferences, follow:
Social Demokraten' thought
that it will cause bitter disap-
pointment and deep-going reac-
tions among the Scandinavian peo-
pie if these efforts founder with the
result that both Denmark and Nor
way are deprived of the only sure
possibility of quick and effective
help in the event of attack. The
responsibility will be heavy.
"Politiken" (radieaD stressed
two points: % Isn't a Scandina-
Wan defense union of greater value
than a North military separat-
ed"? t2) If countries situated close
to the Soviet union join the At
lantic Pact. it could increase the
international tension, while on the
other hand the fact that those
countries formed an independent
union could contribute to reducing
the tension. The purpose is not
to promote the development of a
state of crisis but to contribute to
preventing it.
"Kobenhavn" (liberaD says that
all parties clearly show a disinclin-
alton to take the responsibility for
a Scandinavian break, thus run
ming the risk of maneuvering in
such a manner as to make the
United States appear to blame for
a Scandinavian split because of the
terms for delivereries of arms.
"Boersen" Ia journal of COM
merce) says that the situation calls
for uniting all the best forces in
the Nordic countries, where polit-
ical dogmas on several questions
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-02-01

Russia show that efforts to extend
one power group to Scandinavia
cannot be made without causing
reaction from the other group.
Denmark's main task, he said,
is to draw a line of foreign policy
such as will secure Denmark s
freedom, peace and independence.
Denmark is not strong in a mill
tary way. and it is natural in times
of foreign political unrest to eX-
plore possibilities, through agree
ment with other powers, of obtain
ing greater security than Denmark
can create for herself, and also
judge if it may be possible to find
a form that can be a constructive
link in a policy aiming to lessen
tension in our part of the world.

Swedish Athletic
Clubs Show Gains

STOCKHOLM. = Swedish teams
entered no less than 100 interna-
tional contests during 1948, Win
ming rs and losing 38, while Z were
draws, Bo Ekelund, president of
the Swedish Athletic Association,
declared at the Associations an
nual meeting in Stockholm. In the
course of the year, Sweden met rs
different nations, and 85 of the
120 international contests were
held outside the country.
According to statistics presented
at the annual meeting, the Associ-
alton, which is the central organ
ization of all Swedish athletic and
sports clubs, now includes SLY
clubs with some $4,000 members,
and a total membership of one
million is considered to be quite
possible when the association cele-
brates its 50th anniversary in 1858.
Though sports and an open-air
life are practised by vast numbers
of Swedes, even outside sports
grounds, there are still large cate
gories in which a latent interest in
sports might be called to life. One
of the associations future aims is,
therefore, to increase the number
of Junior and old-boy sections in
its clubs, as well as to establish
special clubs and sections for wom-
en-. Another goal is to provide in
creased facilities for instruction
and training of athletes. In this
respect, the association is counting
on continued government support
out CT income from the state foot
ball betting pool.

Whales To Be New

Norway Storms
Cause DAMAGE

Winds of hurricane proportions
all along the Norwegian coast
have caused damage running into
many million kroner Scores of
fishing vessels have been wrecked
and many lives lost. In some dis
tricts conditions are catastrophe
with many buildings blown into
the sea and telephone and power
lines in chaos. In Bergen the DAM
aged is estimated at is million
kroner, at least one million to the
docks alone. The authorities are
doing everything possible to rem
edy the situation by sending food
and materials.
The storms that have been
raging in Northern Norway for
the last four months at last re-
port We're continuing undated;
10000 fishermen are waiting for
the weather to subside.
One good report, however, comes
from the Aaalesund area where
the herring fisheries are in prog
ress Here the weather has let up
some and although the catch so
far is only half of what it was
at the same time last year, it is
ahead of 1947. Prospects for fair
final result are now better.

patch sees as the main stumbling

the Swedish and Norwegian dele
gates. Sweden desires a Scandin-
avian pact which would not tie her
to a Western military system but
Norway favors a type of alliance
which would entail a guarantee

DETROIT, Aug. Inventor
industrialist Gar Wood has taken
the wraps off a secret ship that he
believes eventually may make
ocean liners like the Queen Mary
obsolete.
It's a strange-l looking craft with
twin hulls. 1t knifes through the
waves instead of climbing over
them. The retired king of speed
boat racing calls it prototype OF
the express-passenger liner of to-
morrow.
For % years Mr.. Wood has been
designing a ship unlike anything
that ever before put to sea. He
talked publicly for the first time
yesterday about his 120-ton ex-
perimental craft, the "Venturi."
The ship cruises at 26 knots
through high waves at COM
pletely even keel without roll or
pitch. 1t was started as hush
hush job for the Army Air Forces
in 1914. The Air Forces had
wanted an extremely mobile
radio-controlled target vessel. but
the war ended before the AAF Sc
cured full value from Mr.. Woods
ship.
He re-acquired the hulls from

to develop his dream boat.
He said the basic design should
permit surface vessels for the first
time to compete favorably with
trans-ocean airlines.
His ship. 180 feet long and 40
feet wide. looks much like float
ing tunnel when you see her head
on. A broad deck connects the
two hulls % feet above the water
line. Mr.. Wood said she Is un-
Sinkable.

Senator Will Try To Bar Liquor Advertising

WASHINGTON, (P) - A new drive against liquor advertising will open up soon after Congress conveneS next month.
 The Senate commerce committee has set hearings for January l2 and 13 on bill to bar interstate transportation and radio broad cast of liquor advertising.
 The measure, by Senator Lan- ger R.-N. D. would make unlaw- ful the transportation between States of newspapers, periodicals, news reels, photographic film or records advertising liquor, beer or wine.
 Also banned would be radio broadcasts and interstate mailing of letters, postal cards and pam phletS dealing with liquor ads.
 Violators of the proposed law could be fined from $100 to 1000, and jailed for between six months and year.
 Edward Jarrett, committee clerk who made public the dates of the hearings, said temperance groups probably will be the first witness es. Representatives of the liquor, wine and brewing industries, pub fishers, and the Union of Interna- tional Brewery Workers also are expected to appear, he told a re- porter.
