NAMED there for three years. Dur
ing that period, a son Snorri was
born to Karlsefni and Gudrid.
Through a series of hostile en-
counters with overwhelming num-
bers of Indians, these first white
colonists became convinced of the
futility of their venture and re-
turned to Greenland. Karlsefni
went to Norway in 1907 and to
Iceland the following year. In the
latter country many noted people
trace their family back to the
first white man, according to the
Sagas, born in America.
Why Left Was Called
"The Lucky"
Left received the addition to his
name on his return to Greenland
from the Vinland voyage The
Saga tells us that favorable winds

Greenland. When the glaciers
doomed in the distance, Left un-
expectedly changed his course. To
his men he said, Il see my course
clearly, but also other things. I
know not if it is ship or a
skerry, but there are men upon
it" Left rescued fifteen men from
the skerry and found quarters for
them in the Greenland colony. At
ter this he was called THE Lucky"
and gained both wealth and re-
speet, the Saga tells us. In the
terse style of the Saga this de-
scription is found
Left was a great man and
strong, grave and well favored,
Herewith wise and moderate in
all matters"
Source of the Story of Left
Hand in hand with the spirit
of bold adventure by land and
sea went the northern love of
song and saga. Reciting of stir
ring events and deeds in rhyme
or prose was the favorite pastime
wherever these people assembled.
Runic characters (the sixteen
letter alphabet) were used for in
scriptions, but stories and poems
We're not committed to writing
until the Latin alphabet came into
use. This was brought to the north
with the advent of Christianity
in the tenth century. AS soon as
this had been adapted to the old
Morse language (then spoken in
Norway, Sweden. Denmark, as
we'll as Iceland, the Orkneys, and
parts of the British Isles we hear

corded on vellum. Two original
vellum manuscripts containing the
story of the discovery of Amer

of Copenhagen and are known as
the "Flateyjarbok" and Hanks

High Court Justices
Refuse RCA Invitation
To See Color N Test
BY the Associated Press

The Supreme Court apparently
has decided to stay away from
the current Wrangle over color
television-at least at this stage
of the game.
The Radio Corp. of America
formally invited the court yester-
day to witness a demonstration
OF its color system at a downtown
hotel. None Of the justices showed
up, but a number of Supreme
Court employees appeared to wit
ness the demonstration, along
with cabinet members and other
top Government officials.
Some radio industry sources
suggested that the absence of the
Supreme Court members may
have been due to a likely posi-
bility foreseen by the industry.
This is that the entire color ques-
ton may eventually be thrown
into litigation which would have
to 60 to the high tribunal for
final review.

that there is grave doubt that

Also, the ANA has two other
lobbyists listed-Joseph M. Law

penses, and Frank E. Wilson, al
$4,000 in Salary and up to S2,4OC

ANTI-LABOR LOBBY-A whole
string of organizations make up
this lobby-among them, the Natl
Association of Manufacturers, the
us. Chamber of Commerce, the
Committee for Constitutional Gov
ernment, the Tool Owners Union,
various big corporations and many
individual lobbyists.
The NAM claimed it spends only
approximately $150,000 a year on
legislative matters, though its
total budget, mostly devoted to
anti-labor propaganda, runs to $5,-
100000. Similarly, the Chamber of
Commerce, with $2,000,000 a year

brought in by railroad. Existing
coal-handling facilities will trans
fer the coal to the power plant coal

Federation Head Tells Publishers
Association Treuf Labor FuirIv

State College, Pa. (LPA)-When

criticism of the press, that's front

The Pennsylvania Newspaper
Publishers Association did just
that this week. 1t invited James l..
McDevitt, president Of the Penn

speak at its statewide conference
here.
McDevitt accepted and gave the
publishers a straight-from-s should

begin with, he made it clear that
he did not come to "plead" labor's
cause on the basis of perfection.
81 say to you quite frankly we
have made mistakes-yes, costly
ones from the standpoint of public
relations" he declared. "Also, there
have been some dishonest persons
found among us, but that is true
of every other segment of Ameri-
can society,""
McDevitt stressed that organized
labor supports "the principle of a
free, unhampered press"
"We are with you side by side on
this issue, but with that right of
freedom is a very definite response
bility on the part of publishers
responsibility for impartial news
reporting and editing"
Many editors, he said, haven't
met that responsibility, and he
Melted examples right in Pennsy-
Ilvania. One involved the Harris
burg Evening News. Building
trades unions in Harrisburg, he ex-
planned, got into dispute with the
Pennsylvania Supply Company. The
management gave its side in a
series of half-page "ads" in the
Harrisburg paper.
"Whereupon that paper, without
making any inquiry as to labor's
position in the controversy, severe
