Scandinavian Decision
On Alliance Expected
In Week or 10 DAYS
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

| COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Feb l.
The attitude of Scandinavia to-
ward the North Atlantic security
pact may be determined definitely
in the next week or 10 days.
Although Sweden, Norway and
Denmark were not able to agree on
a joint program during months of
conferences, the nations now are
free to act individually.
Norway, which has favored Joining
the Western powers despite Russian
pressure, may be the first to make a
decision. Sweden is expected to
stick to her policy OF neutrality.
Denmark, which wavered between
the two, may make up her mind
soon.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Hal
ward Lange will address Parliament
today on the Scandinavian defense
talks. His speech will be followed
by a debate on the labor govern
ment's defense policy.
The National Council of the Nor
wegian Labor Party last night voted
unanimously to back the govern
ment's policy, which is reported to
be in favor of joining the North
Atlantic powers.
A showdown on Denmark's atti-
tude toward possible military CO.
operation with the Western powers
is expected next week when the
Danish Parliament convenes for Q
foreign policy debate.
In preparation for the debate,
there will be a closed meeting to-
morrow of the Parliamentary For
eign Policy Committee of which all
political parties but the Com
munists are members.
The committee is an advisory
body established during the war to
investigate matters in which Danish
interests are involved. After its
meeting, the Danish Ambassadors
to Paris. Moscow, Washington and
London will return to their posts.
They were summoned home for the
Scandinavian meetings in Oslo last
week end.
At least two parties-the Agra
rians and Conservatives-will de-
mand that Denmark join the North
Atlantic negotiations in Washing
ton.
Both will argue since attempts at
unified Scandinavian alliance
have failed, Denmark must look to
the West for military security.
The Social Democratic govern
ment represents a parliamentary
minority. Neither the governing
party nor any of the other opposi-
tion parties except the Communists
have disclosed their stand
The Agrarians and Conservatives
need the support of at least one
other opposition party to push
through their view If the Social
Democrats prefer to hold off action.
But the other parliamentary groups
principally are antimilitarist, maxi
ing their stand on joining the
Western powers doubtful.

Both Houses Continue
Hearings on Extension
OF Export Controls
By ChoImers IA. Roberts

Committees In both houses of
Congress were to continue consider
alton today Of export control exten-
sion after a stop-gap voluntary
ALLEGATION plan had passed its first
major hurdle in the Senate.
The voluntary scheme. which has
resulted in ALLEGATION of scarce steel
and pig iron, won Senate approval
late yesterday but only after Repub-
licans taunted Democrats for bring
ing in a Republican measure" as
the first Administration move
against imitation.
The Senate Democrats beat down,
4S to 81, Republican move to ex-
tend the law, originally passed in
the 80th Congress, for 13 months
instead of seven. Senator Bricker,
Republican, of Ohio proposed the
move in frank effort to take the
steam out of administration plans
for mandatory ALLEGATION powers.
The seven-month extension was
finally approved on voice vote.
House Action Due Tomorrow.
The House Rules Committee yes
terday approved rule for the VOL
untary program measure. Majority
Leader Mccormack told the House
he would call up the measure to-
morrow for action.
The Senate and House Banking
Committees, meanwhile, are con-
ttnuing hearings on export control
extension. The Administration has
asked for extension until June 30,
1851. The bill is the first of Presi-
dent Truman's eight anti-inf1ation
measures to start through Congress.
The voluntary measure is not one
Of the points but a stopgap Until
mandatory powers can be adopted.
Senator Baldwin, Republican, of
Connecticut repeatedly told the
Senate yesterday he was amazed"
that the first anti-inflation measure
to be considered was one originally
sponsored by the Republicans. He
taunted the Democrats about cam
paign promises of quick action on
the high cost of living.
Mandatory ALLEGATION.
Senator Bricker said he was con-
fident the majority of Senators do
not want and do not expect to vote
for" mandatory ALLEGATION powers.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat, of
Alabama. told the Senate that man
datory ALLEGATION authority is "ab-
solutely essential for any housing
program you put on" He will open
hearings this week on the Admin
istration's big public housing pro-
gram.
The Senator said 1T may be" that
mandatory controls will not be
needed. but he said permissive leg
tslation should be put on the books.
On the Bricker amendment two
Republicans, Senators Morse of
Oregon and LANCER Of North Dakota,
joined 46 Democrats to defeat 1t.
Chairman Maybank of the Senate
Banking Committee said Senators
should take a long look at the man
datory measure before voting for it.
He pointed out that Secretary Of
Commerce Sawyer had testified the
mandatory measure will contain a
two-year extension OF the voluntary
scheme rs we'll.
