the effects of heavy work on the
human body since 1913, states that
if a farm laborer's or stone cut
ter's temperature doesn't rise to
well over 38 c, he isn't quite fit.
The reaction and adjustment of
the body to heavy labor are ques-
tons of prime significance and re-
suits thus far obtained in occupa-
tional physiology find extensive
scope for their application in our
modern society. states Prof. Tot
terman. Realization of this fact
is at the bottom of recent re-
quests for appropriations from
Swedish public funds for contin-
ued research.

Physical Exertions
0fLoggers And Top
Athletes Are Equal

STOCKHOLM. = Investigation
carried out by the occupation re-
search laboratory of the Udde-
holm Company, large Swedish
steel and timber concern, have
shown that log hauling is SO
strenuous that the body tempera-
ture of carriers at times will ex-
coed 80 degrees c., with a pulse
rate of as much as 10000.
AS long observed, the more con-
tinuous physical exertion required
in telling, or logging, accounts
for an average temperature of 3S
c and a pulse rate of around $50.
The most exacting operations
would require energy conversion
equivalent to an oxygen consump-
ton via the lungs of two liters per
minute. Hauling by skillful, en-
ergetic and physically well equip
ped carriers, with its periods of
extreme eXertion when stacking
or loading, would correspond to
an. oxygen consumption of from
two and a half to three liters per
minute. This is the highest rate
ever observed in study of occu-
pational exertion, equalling the
most spectacular feat in certain
sports.
Commenting on these investi-
cations Prof. Yngve Zotterman,
noted Swedish occupational phys
iologist who has been studying

The provisional trade agreement

The provisional trade agreement
between USA and Sweden now
ruling including 1947-1948 temp
orary notifications of quantita-
tive and nom discriminatory claus
es in the 1885 treaty, was extended
by memoranda exchanges on June
81 for effect till date when Swe-
den joins the Geneva tariff and
trade protocol of October &c. 1947,
or at the latest June 80, 1850.
Following negotiations in Stock
holm, the Swedish Timber Pro-
ducts Export Association last May
concluded price accords for pro-
cessed timber products with three
additional countries, namely Den
mark, France and West Germany.
Export sales We're brisk during
June. According to official re-
ports, 65-7O9o of this years es-
timated exports of sawn and pro-
cessed timber products has al
ready been contracted for.

The Swedish standards for the
kilogram and the meter have ar
rived back in Stockholm after hav-
ing been compared with the world
standard in Paris. The Swedish
standard meter differs by 100000
parts of a milimeter from the
world standard platinum bar in
Paris, and the kilogram by two
thousand parts of milligram. The
differences are, however, so small
that they are deemed to lie within
the allowed margin of error, and
the Swedish standards are there
fore judged as not having under
gone any change since 1889, when
they were made.

tives, even with a half century
of experience, have not driven
private business out of any given
field. Which simply means that
the average Swede's realism rec
ognizes that an all-cooperative
state would be as disastrous as
a monopolistic state.
Helped Many Refugees
Beneath their oftentimes stand
offish demeanor the Swedes poss-
ess warm hearts. Credits for re-
construction in war-devastated
Europe totaled more than 500 mil
lion dollars. All during the war
some 100000 children, old people
and workers in Nazi-occupied Nor
way obtained a hot meal day
from voluntary gifts. Up to this
spring, under the auspices of the
late Count Folke Bernadotte and
the Swedish Red Cross, million
meals had been served to under
nourished children in Berlin-an
astonishing act of generosity, since
Berlin is our" responsibility, not
Sweden's. Even Marseilles has a
rest home for convalescent child
rem, donated by the Swedish Red
Cross.
Potentially the most explosive
act of Swedish philanthropy has
been to provide sanctuary for
more than 10000 Estonians and
Latvions who have fled Soviet
domination. In Sweden it is an
ironic jest that such refugees us
ually provide a parade, with first
the erfugee, then a plain-clothes
agent from the Soviet embassy,
and then an agent from the Swe-
dish secret police watching both.
Despite pressure from Russia,
Sweden steadfastly refuses to re-
turn refugees to Soviet hands.
Sweden's philanthropy, besides
being generous, can also have an
acute element of common sense.
One of Sweden's most thriving
philanthropic organizations which
devotes its funds to general char
liable purposes is called the
Flower Fund"-because Swedes
send money to the organization
instead of flowers to a funeral.
Stockholm Is Beautiful
Stockholm has been character
lied as the worlds most beautiful
city. It's architecture varies from
the medieval to sweepingly mod
ern. The heart of the ancient eli
~, founded in the 18th century,
includes the looming bulk of the
Kings palace and scores of old
buildings, all huddled on narrow
streeted island; while on bluffs
surrounding the harbor stretch
magnificent modern apartment
houses, with balconies for most
tenants.

Suspect in Staying

Hunted in Mexico
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.
manhunt in two countries was on
today for a 66-year-old retired
baker wanted for questioning in
the brutal Staying of 6-year-old
Linda Joyce Glucoft.
An autopsy. meanwhile, dis
closed details of the vicious bru-
tality Of the attack.
The mutilated blanket-wrapped
body of the little girl was found
early yesterday buried under rub

bor's house where she was last
seen alive. In that house lived
Fred Strobe, 66. the retired baker.
who figured in another child
molestation case. Strobe, a
pohcc broadcast said, "is believed
to have murdered" Linda Joyce.
A bus driver told police he drove
a man resembling Strobe across
the Mexican border. Police there
launched a search for him.
Child Was Strangled.
Officers at San Bernardino, so
miles east Of here, hunted for a
man a bartender identified as
Strobe from news pictures and a
mutilated finger. The man was
reported to have left a bus on it's
arrival from Los Angeles.
The child had been strangled by
a mans tie and her body hacked
with an ak and stabbed by an
ice pick or similar instrument.
DR.. Frederick D. Newbarr.
county autopsy surgeon. said
death was caused by asphyxia
from strangulation. He found
three stab wounds, two of which
penetrated the lungs. DR.. New
barr believes they were inflicted
while the girl was dying.
While Detective Sergt. Bill
Brennan said that all evidence
pointed to an assault, DR.. New
barr said he found no evidence
of sexual attack on the child.
However, he said microscopic tests
will be made to determine this.
Linda Joyce had been missing
since Monday afternoon when
she ran laughing out to play.
Police believe she had gone to the
home where Strobe was staying
to play with his grandchild.
Rochelle Hausman, 6. Rochelle's
backyard, with its swings and
teeter-totters, was a neighborhood
mecca for kids.
But Rochelle and her mother,
Mrs. Sylvia Hausman, were not
home. Strobe was alone in the
house. He was gone when they
returned.
Strobe had been at the home
of his son-in-law, Reuben Haus-
man, only a week. He had
jumped $500 bail May II when
due for trial on a morals charge
involving a 10-year-old girl In SUBJ

Search was intensified in Mex
leo as Strobe was known to have
visited Tijuana recently and had
friends there.

House today around the contro-

Grams bonus bill reported out
favorably by the House Veterans
C O m mittee yesterday amid
charges that Chairman Rankin
had used "dictatorial" tactics in
pushing the measure.
Representative Byrnes, Republi-

today to declare:
This legislation is dishonest.
1t attempts to deceive the veteran
into believing he is getting some
thing for nothing" Mr.. Byrnes
noted that the favorable commit
tee report o nthe bill had been
called "a hot potato in the lap of
the administration"
He said it was not a hot potato
to him, and that members of Con-
gresS would be bound to vote
against the pensions to be honest
with veterans.
Rankin Defends Measure.
Mr.. Rankin spoke in the House
a few minutes later and held aloft

Mr.. Rankin said the bill merely

President Truman would
start getting a $50 a month
pension while still in the
White House if a veterans
pension bill approved yester-
day by the House Veterans
Committee becomes law.
AS a veteran of World War
I, the President would be eli
gible as soon as he becomes
IS, which will be on May 8 of
this year.
Veterans Committee Chair
man Rankin also would be
cut in on the pension, since
he is a World War I veteran
and will be 81 next month.
