NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The Al
ger Hiss perjury trial is in recess
over the week end. When it re-
sumes Monday, Whitaker Cham
bers will face another ordeal in
his long battle Of reputation with
the 45-year-old defendant.
Mr.. Chambers. a self-confessed
ex-CommuI1ist agent. one-time
senior editor of Time Magazine,
began telling his story again yes
terday afternoon to a packed
courtroom here. That story con-
tains the crucial testimony that
Mr.. Hiss, as q State Department
official in 1888, handed over to
him secret State Department
papers for transmission to Rus
sian agents.
Mr.. Hiss, who until last May
was the $40, ,000-a-year president
of the Carnegie Endowment to,
International Peace, was indicted
last December Is when he denied
before a Federal grand jury that
he gave any secret documents to
Mr.. Chambers, and said he die
not see his accuser after Janu-
ary l, 1887.
No Surprises in Testimony.
The case was tried last spring
resulting in q hung jury on July 8
The second trial began last Thurs
day.
There were no surprises in Mr..
Chambers testimony yesterday
and the fireworks are not likely
to start Monday until the Govern
ment finishes its direct examina-
ton, probably in the early after
noon. Then Defense Attorney
Claude B. Cross will take over the
witness.
Lloyd Paul Stryker, who de-
Tended Mr.. Hiss at the first trial,
subjected Mr.. Chambers to a mer-
ciless four-day cross examina-
ton, forcing him to testify in
minute, unsavory detail about his
personal and political past.
Fewer Defense Objections.
Mr.. Chambers testimony yester-
day followed almost exactly the
pattern set in the first trial, al
though there were fewer interrupt
tions and objections from the de-
fense counsel. Dressed in gray
suit, wearing q plain blue necktie.
he appeared fatter than he had
last spring as he settled into the
witness chair. Once again, his eyes
scanning the ceiling. his thin,
gravelly voice straining to make it
self heard, he told of his early LIE
as an intellectual who dedicated
himself to the Communist cause.
Early In the 1930s, he related, he
became verbindungsmench" or
liaiSoi man between the Soviet
Communist apparatus and the
American branch OF the party. He
was sent to Washington. In a
downtown restaurant there, In
June or July of 1894, he was in
troduced to Mr.. Hiss.
Mr.. Chambers said the intro
duction was effected by Harold
Ware, described as the then head
of the Communist underground
In washington, and y. Peters"
the head Of the underground for
the entire country.
Couldn't Recall Details.
Mr.. Chambers could not recall
details Of the conversation, but
he remembered the main sense
OF what Peters said: "Alger Hiss
was to be disconnected from the
apparatus to which he belonged.
He was to join a parallel organi-
zation that I was then organic
ing."

engaged in the search for the

To keep from potential enemies
an exact indication Of how many
Super Fortresses will be earth
bound until inspection can be
completed, the Air Force refused
to say how many of the SAC and
10th Bomb Group planes lack
modernized engines.
The long-range bomber fleet at
present is composed of two groups
OF B-36 "heavy" bombers, 1o
groups of B-29s and three groups
of B-50s. the new version of the
wartime-designed B-29.
Each group normally consists OF
80 planes, but there are additional
spares. The total Of B-29s In op-
irrational use, either in units or as
spares now is estimated unof-
flcially at between 400 and 500.
Two Involved in Collision.
Although the Air Force order
indicated that engine or plane
failure was the chief reason for the
grounding, not all Of the crashes
have been for that reason.
OF the six B-29s wrecked dur
ing the last is days, two were in

California and the plane missing

went down, that she didn't know

Except for their troubles with
the grand jury, however, F4sk-
gerald and Sullivan led moderately
unmolested lives as Michigan
gamblers.
Both had operated for yearS In
the Detroit area and their only
other troubles were when they
occasionally ran afoul Of police.
Originally the two were charged
in Macomb County with corrhbt-

When, in August, 1948, they
gave up their extradition hight

Introducing Scandinavian Organizations In Seattle
Culture And Traditions Of Old Countries Moin+oned
Order of Runebero

lHt OTucT VI hultDerS Is
fraternal lodge which was organ
lied in 1920 by group of people
who were chiefly Swedish Fin
landers. These are the people from
that part of Finland where the
Swedish language predominates.
The lodge bears the name of
JOhan Ludwig Runeberg who was
well known and loved throughout
Scandinavia as poet, writer,
teacher and statesman.
The Order of Runeberg is basil
cally fraternal and sick benefit
organization, but the culture of
Finland as portrayed by such men
as Runeberg, TOpelius and in more
recent years Jan Sibelius has be-
come a tradition in the Order of
Runeberg. The sons and daughters
of the founders of the organization
are carrying on this tradition to-
day. Music has always played a
big part within this lodge through
out the country and in Seattle the
organization sponsors the Seattle
Runeberg Mixed Chorus under the
direction of George HalvOr. This
chorus is taking part in various
activities of the Ballard Christmas
Festival. 1t is with great pleasure
and anticipation that this group
is looking forward to partaking
in this outstanding event in order
that they may express in song the
traditions of the land of their
parents and forefathers.
Next summer, members of the
Order of Runeberg throughout the
United States will gather in Seat
tie for their National convention
Several hundreds of visitors and
delegates from the Orders seventy
lodges are expected.
The present Supreme Lodge Pre-
sident is Carl Helgren of Seattle
who was elected at the last con-
vention held in Gardner, Mass.
The local lodge meets in the
Fremont I.O.O.F. Hall the second
Thursday of each month.
Local officers: President. VIM.
Anderson; Vice President, George
HalvOr; Financial Secretary, Ar
thur Erickson; Recording Secreta-
ry, Margaret Johnson.

Swedish Pulp
Exports To US
Are Increasing

STOCKHOLM-Saies of Swedish
pulp to the United States for
shipment this year, estimated to
have tOtalled 1880 tons as of
August 81, by the end of Septem-
Der had exceeded 200, 900 tons, ac-
cOrding to the latest market sur
vey of the Swedish Board of Trade
and Shipping.
It is therefore not held unlikely
that total deliveries before the
years end will reach 100000 tons
Obviously, the development in the
United States market has materi-
ally influenced the price level in
other areas since dollar prices
have remained fairly steady. Thus,
marked improvement in prices
for paper pulp is noted in soft
currency countries. In this con-

after exactly fifteen years the
lodge will meet on this anniver-
sary under our own roof. The
property at the corner of w. Goth
and 22nd N. w. was recently pur-
chased by the lodge For the past
six weeks the members have been
redecorating the property and
building furniture and cabinets to
provide a suitable meeting place
for all Scandinavian organizations.
The property has two large lodge
halls. two smaller halls, committee
rooms and kitchen. Should the
festival require such facilities we
shall be happy to cooperate and
invite your inspection of the pre-
misses.
Our building committee, pro-
posed by past Magne Smedvig less
than year ago, have shown ini-
tiative and action which deserves
a great deal of credit. The COM
mittee consists Of: Erling Smed-
Wig. chairman; Dan L. Hansen;
John. Hennum, Alfred Bergen,
Math Larsen. treasurer; Sigurd
Stevens, Olaf j. Aunan and Nor
man knutsen, secretary. The pro-
perty will be known as NORDIC

rated by the above committee.

nection a heavily increased de-
mand for bleached pulp, especially
bleached sulphite where outright
scarcity is felt. has been a con-
tributory factor. Similarly, rise
in viscose pulp quotations is to be
expected, at least where deliveries
for next year are concerned. Mech
anical pulp mills are probably sold
out for the remainder of this year
while demand is simultaneously
growing, the report states.
According to the Dagens Nyhe-
ter total Swedish exports of pulp
during 1949 are estimated to in
crease to 1000, 0OO-1 100000 tons
with 1,450.00O tons last year.

championship at the Daughters Of
Norway convention of the Pacific
Coast in Tacoma. At present we
have splendid flag team. They
add lot of color to all our initia-
tions and installations of officers.
We also have the Breidablik Lad
les Chorus and String Band which
not only gives pleasure to the
lodge members, but also to out
side organizations with their beau
tiful Norwegian and English
songs.
The lodge meetings are held the
first and third Tuesdays of each
month at the l. o. o. F. Hall, at
18th and Market st. Our first
