Foes Of Atlantic Pact
Say Hope Of Peace
Lies in Paris Farley

A Conference on Peaceful AL
ternatives to the Atlantic Pact
declared here yesterday that the
pact points in the direction of
war while the foreign ministers
meeting beginning in Paris to-
morrow can open the way to peace.
The conference, held in the Cos
mos Club. was attended by 125
men and women from various sec
tions of the country. 1t was ar
ranged in response to call by
Thomas Mann, the German
author. DR.. Albert Einstein, the
scientist, and others.
Mrs. Emily Greene Balch, We'll
lesley College econopist, honorary
president of the Women's Inter-
national League for Peace and
Freedom: Bishop w. j. Walls of
the A. M. E. Zionist Church, and
the Rev. E. J. Cloward of New
York. an official of the Northern
Baptist Conference, presided at
the sessions here.
Henry A. Wallace, Progressive
party candidate for president last
fall, sent letter opposing the
Atlantic Pact because ut will help
breed war
Besides adopting resolutions urg-
ing Senate rejection of the pact
and suggesting moves to settle the
German situation, the conference
established an 11-member COM
mittee to enlist other groups ito
work vigorously to defeat the
Atlantic Pact and the armament
program"
The conference contended that
differences between the United
States and the Soviet Union can
be settled through strengthening
of the United Nations as the prin-
cipal instrument for peace; pro-
hibition of peacetime export OF
arms and the outlawing of all wea-
pons of mass destruction; world
disarmament under international
police force; establishment of Ger
many on democratic and peace
abiding basis and the support of
her struggle toward unification;
non-interference in the internal
affairs of nations; and abandon
ment of xtra-territorial military
bases by all nations.
Rivalry between two blocs to
exploit the German issue for their
own purposes will result in Ger
many using that rivalry for ultra
nationalistic purposes" the con-
ference stated.

Deva|uation Makes Europe The Top
Travel Attraction For Americans

Devaluation of currencies
by most European countries
gives Americans the oppor-
tunity of a lifetime to see
Europe at unheard-of-low
prices, according to Burger
Nordholm, Chairman of the
European Travel Commission
in the U.S.A., who has just
returned from travel confer
ences in Scandinavia. Trans
Atlantic ship and air lines
have already reported accel-
Grated bookings, which may
develop into a fall and Win
ter boom in ticket sales.
In the majority of European
countries, the American tourist
dollar will now buy up to 5000
more. If the traveller had planned
to spend $500 while in Europe on
his vacation, he can now get the
same things for about 5000.
Devaluation combines with other
factors to give the American
traveller the greatest value he has
ever had. One of them is the
winter special airline fares which
goes into effect October l. This
offer terminates on April 1, 1850
though the ticket holder is per-
mitted to return up until May 1.
In that period, the airlines servic-
ing Europe will have round-trip
fares equal to the present one-way
fare plus one third.
Furthermore, most of the pas
senger ships flying the Atlantic
will have low-cost Accommodations
available the first of October.
Space in all three categories will
be available on short notice where
similar accommodation for the
summer months have had to be
reserved for six months to a year
in advance.
Add to this the fact that prices
in European hotels and restau-
rants in many instances take a
substantial drop in September and
October and remain low until May.

Ski Aces Will
Also Compete
In Northwest

A number of the Norwegian and
Swedish ski stars, who will par
ticipate in the world champion
ship ski events in Aspen, Colo
RADIO next February, are also ex-
pected to compete in ski events
in the Northwest next winter, ac-
cording to a report to the Scandi-
navian American.
Arrangements are being made
by promoters of ski events in
Washington for several "hot" con-
tests in which the participation of
the Scandinavian big shots should
arouse considerable interest among
ski fans in the Northwest area.
There are already a number Of
Norwegian ski jumpers in the
Northwest area-two of them are
in Seattle-who are also expected
to make a strong showing during
events this winter.

With the money thus saved, the
traveller can buy and bring back
European goods at bargain prices.
Here another recent development
weighs in his favor. Customs regu-
lations now allow Americans who
have been out of the country IL
days to bring back $500 worth of
goods duty free instead of the
500 worth previously allowed.
If prices on the other side remain
stable, the traveller can actually
bring back $500. goods that would
have cost about 5000 under for
mer conditions.
The European Travel Commits
sion is a combination of 16 Europ-
can nations including Denmark to
facilitate American travel abroad.

Swedish And Norwegian Stars Will Participate
In World Championship Ski Events In Colorado

Aspen, Colorado-Norway, birth
place of the christie turn and
headquarters of the Federation
Internationale de Ski (FIS), world
ski governing body, has formally
accepted the. invitation of the
National Ski Association of Ameri-
ca to participate In the 1850 World
Ski Championships races here
February Is to Is.
Leonard Woods, executive sec
rotary of the FIS races, said that
Norwegian champions coming to
Aspen will include Stein Eriksen,

races at Pontresina, Switzerland,
in 1913; Guttrom Berge, 1949 Hol-

will celebrate her 26th birthday
during FIS Week at Aspen, took
first place in the 1948 Pontersina
slalom for women and is the cur
rent Norwegian woman champion.
Although the word "slolom" is
Norwegian, slalom and downhill
competitions are fairly new to the
midnight-sunners, who up to the
early 3O's put the emphasis on
ski jumping and cross-country rae
ing. However, the first Olympic
Games downhill race in 1886 was
won by Norway's fabulous Burger
Ruud, probably the greatest skier
of all time.
Ruud's youngest brother, Ash
jorn, will show his jumping style
in the World Ski Championships
at Lake Placid, N. Y, where the
jumping and cross-country Nor
die events will be held Jan. 80
to Feb. S. The Norwegian Ski
Association, which was founded
in 1883 and is the oldest in the
world, has named the following
skiers also to the FIS Jumping
team: Peter Hugstad, Olympic
jumping champion, who this past
February took the American Ma
tional Jumping Crown at Salt
Lake City; Vidar Limbo Hansen
George Thrane, at present a
student at Washington State Col
lege, Pullman; Thorbjorn Falkan-
ger, 1949 Holmenkollen winner;
Arnfinn Bergman, Norw gi a n
Junior Champion in 1913. Accord
ing to information received at
Lake Placid, the Norwegian FIS
cross-country team will not be
named until January LIST.

Unexplainable as the match

Elder Stanley Goes
Visiting In Arkansas

|, Mrs. Stanley, Johnny Baker,
his wife and their two sons left
Long Fork in the Bakers car at
1870 Dec. Is, to visit relatives in
the West. Except for stops for
gasoline and lunch, we drove
straight through. We had no trou
bile but did have to stop awhile
between Knoxville and Nashville
on account of a deep fog.
At the break of day on Dec. II,
we arrived at the Mississippi
River. We crossed the river,which
at this point was two miles
wide, on a motor boat. The moon
was shining, and the water was
sloshing against the boat. This
was exciting to us. We arrived
at the home of Eli Baker, my
wife's brother, about one o'clock
on that day. Eli and Albert Baker
moved from Dickinson County
around forty years ago and have
lived since at Ninangua, Missouri.
These brothers married sisters,
the daughters of the late Dave
Smith. Their mother was a sister
to Pres and Jeff Fleming.
We also visited Walker Smith,
who lives at Niangua. Walker is
a brother to Morgan Smith, who
now lives on the Open Fork of
Mcclure near Nora.
On Sunday, we had dinner
with Joe Baker and family. Joe
is my wife's nephew On Monday
I went squirrel hunting with
John Williams and killed two
squirrels.
On the following Wednesday,
Joe Baker drove us by way Of
Jefferson City to the home Of

visited Radford Stanley and fam
lily.
On Christmas day, we had din
ner with Eli Baker and supper at
