Antitrust Acts
Protects Basic
Civil Rights

Lincoln University, Pa.-tANS)
The Antitrust Acts is a protec-
ton of Basic Civil Rights says
Victor Kramer of the Antitrust
Division of the U. S. Department
of Justice, in an address before
Lincoln University students.
Attorney Kramer pointed out
that the Sherman Act makes lille
gal any conspiracy in restraint of
trade. He said that the Act is a
flexible statut cast in gnral Ian
guag, capabl of bing applid to a
veariety of cases. The prosecution
in the medical case in Washing
ton where the District Medical So
ciety and the Medical Association
sought to put doctors out of hos
pitfalls who were conducting p
prepaid medical care plan, is an
example of the Acts flexibility.
In this case indictments were
brought against the medical so.
ciety by the Department of JUS
tees Antitrust Division, and the
Supreme Court ultimately ruled
that the medical society, in ex-
Guiding doctors of the prepaid
medical plan from hospitals, were
acting in restraint Of trade.
The aim of the antitrust laws.
said the attorney, was to give OPP
pOrtunity to large and small bus
inesHes alike. and to make it posi-
bic for many small companies to
operate because many independ-
ent producers are probably pre-
ferred in the American way of
life.
Mr.. Kramer's appearance at
Lincoln was sponsored by the
economics department Of the Uni
versity, which is headed by DR.
Joel Dirlam.

Our Responsiveness

The Scandnavians and their descendants it take
rather affirmative view toward their clinical origin and
background and active within their internal
CARNATIONS than most of the other socaled minority
groups in this country Yet the Scandnavians noted
for their high degree of assimilation in this country and
the u S. immigration quotas for the Nordc countries
exceptionally high, proving they welcomed to
shores.
1t would be interesting to know exactly how the Scan
dnavians have to show such genuine responsiveness
to the American way of living and at the time main
many active organizations and lodges which
to unite them in spirit of Scandinavian brotherhood
While the lodges of various other minority groups have
dissolved quite rapidly the process among the Sean
dnavian groups has been much slower In fact in many
places their lodges and organizations being bosered
with the addition of descendants of the second and third
generations well many persons without Scandin
avian background.
+ This trend is certainly encouraging 1t proves that
strong undercurrent of good will toward Scandinavian
exists among large segments of our population

The Case Of Kristen Flagstad

We feel the Fagstad controversy gone far enough
and after surveying recent editorials the subject
found that the Los Angeles Times made very apt pre-
sentaon of her Here is the editorial in its entirety
Kristen Fagstad is perhaps the worlds greatest Wag
merriam soprano But it would make difference if she
singing barmaid far the principle involved in
the latest effort bar her singing San Francisco and
Los Angeles concerned The principle involved is simply
justice-Amercan justice not European offbrand
The trustees of the San Francisco Memorial Opera
House decided to ban Nine Flagstads appearance they
because of the controversial character of her appear
elsewhere in the United States This is both
ardly and fundamentally unAmercan. No direct charge
is made but the implication is that Nine F1agstad colab
Grated with the Nazi conquerors of her native Norway
What the known facts?
When the Germans invaded Norway in April 194O Nine

Johansen wealthy Norwegian lumberman.
In the fall of 1941-while the United States still
technically neutral-Mme Flagstad flew home her hus-
band. She remained in Europe during the
Nine. Flagstad says the Germans never asked her to
sing and that would have refused them if they had
She says she sang Switzerland and Sweden but
in Germany and refused to sing with the Berlin Phlhar
monte in Stockholm She she took part in politics.
Her husband, Johansen, died while awaiting trial
charges of membership in Vdkun Quisings party. No
formal charge filed against Nine Flagstad by the
Norwegian government which granted her the passport
upon which she came to the United States in 1917
The American Guild of Musical Artists, in curious
equvocaton, denied her membership but granted her
working permit because, they said the charges
ing her had not been substantated.

II. Swedish Midsummer
Boy Meets Girl.
The sun had been blazing
down on the countryside all day
and the earth was ripe with
luscious green growth. A soft
breeze flowed gently across the
land and flocks of birds sour
ried playfully from tree to tree
and there was an invigorating
almost lusty note in their chirp-
ing voices. The vital force and
beauty of blooming summer had
sprung out Of the rolling wood
ed hills, the cool, mysterious
glens and groves and the little
meadows beside the winding,
purling brooks, still overlooking
with the fresh abundant waters
of late spring, pouring forth
the once-frozen juices from the
rich, sun-baked earth to nearby
streams and lakes.
And the earth, how it
smelled! Horses, cows, pigs
snorted and were alive with it;
chickens, birds, dogs, beavers,
rabbits, deer, all the earth-peck-
ing, earth-digging animals,
sunk their beaks and noses into
it and rejoiced in the fat, rich
smell. My father sensed it on
his uncle's farm and as he had
lived in Norway by the fjords
and the sea all his life it was
his first real encounter with the
awakening spring and the
bursting bloom of summer on a
vast expanse of farm land,
stretching from horizon to
horizon, devoid of the salty sea
smell.
by golly, that Swedish land
smell was something like
manure and fresh hay put to-
gether and some of that there
Eau De Cologne stuff to boot"

Yes, it was a good old Nordic

sun beaming happily, almost
continuously, day and night. 1t

cold, snow, kerosene lamps,
dark rooms, washing hanging in
the kitchen, stuffy closets and
living rooms, troublesome
jaunts to the clubhouse, isola-
ton and brooding melancholy
during the long winter nights.
This was midsummer day in
Varmeland, Sweden and father
was destined to remember it as
long as he lived.
Father was promising
fiddler, having picked up a few
tunes here and there, and was
chosen to play with two accor-
dionists at the Midsummer
dance at Sunne.
The dance was held on
crudely constructed outdoor
dance floor, surrounded by
birch trees with an open
meadow extending on one side.
The musicians were squeezed
onto a small platform in one
corner of the small-sized sun-lit
floor. Voices, tinkling with mid
summer gayety, were heard
from the meadow or the near
by grove when the musicians
stepped playing. And in the
groves and bushes liquor bottles
were handed about and some
men had passed out; there was
an occasional fight and there
were mysterious, inviting re-
treats for love-making, harbor-
ing, perhaps, some rare inno-
cent Towering of youthful love,
inspired by the Midsummer oc-
casion.
Yes, in all this, in the Nordic
tradition of the outdoor Mid
summer dance, there was still
something very reminiscent of
the old Viking spring and mid
summer feasts, a touch of the
ancient quest and longing for
wild orgies, to celebrate the
longest brightest day of the
year, and the elimination and
elevation Of life on earth to
superb beauty, by breaking the
chains of wintry repression.
And in doing this there was the
sense of feeling life afresh and
anew in all it's melting mid
summer glory.
The musicians had started off
a hambo when someone shouted.
Look what's happening to Elsa
Larson,"
My father listened intently,
the name was very familiar. In
deed, he recalled her distinctly
as the waitress at one of the
local cafes, girl of whom he
had become quite fond, although
he had never went out with her.
In fact, he had been hoping he
would meet her at the midsum-
mer dance.
He looked around and saw

floor, she was confronted with
a drunken boy who was Juggling
her by the arm, while she
backed away. He was struck by
indignation and before he knew
it he rushed out onto the floor.
still carrying his violin.
Sensing that the girl didn't
want to dance with the boy,
father rushed forth and grabbed
him by the arm and told him to
let go of her. Instead, the boy
dealt him smashing blow on
the face and father retaliated
with an uppercut. Someone, try

father by the arm while the
drunken boy approached him to
make another attack.

Then father with only one
arm free, lifted the hand with
which he was clutching his vio-
lin in threatening gesture.
Once again he felt a stunning
blow on his face and then with
out knowing it he smashed the
violin across the boys head. The
boy reeled to the floor in a
drunkenly manner amidst the
shattered remains of fathers
precious instrument.
"Oh, how terrible!" cried Ell

scene. Father felt awkward
among the gaping crowd that
had assembled and he was per-

floor and rushed into a nearby

her face in a shameful manner.

emotion.

plans for their marriage of

father was intent on taking his
bride to America after they got
married. That's when the trou-

Look my boy" my grand
father said to his future SON
in-law one day, I've lived to
see six of my seven brothers go
to America and the scoundrels
left all the hard work for me to
do on my fathers farm. My
father cursed America and |
did too. My uncles left, my
aunts left, my cousins were 60

America! Entire villages were
wiped out because people were
mad about America. And more
