Final House Action
Expected Today on
Social Security Bill
BY the Associated Press

A final House OK. is due to-
day on legislation vastly expanding
social security coverage and h1k-
ing benefits.
All signs pointed to an admins
tration defeat on one section ir
advance of final action.
President Truman and other
administration leaders have vigor-
ously backed the general idea Of
the bill but object to an amend
ment put in by Senator Know
land, Republican, of California.
The amendment was left in the
bill by Senate and House negotia-
tors who worked out differences
between the measure passed by
each chamber. It restricts the
power of the Secretary of Labor
to withhold unemployment COM
pensation funds from States wher
he questions whether the COM
pensation system of State con-
forms with Federal standards.
Representative Lynch, Demo
crat, New York, contends the
Knowland amendment STRIKES al
the very foundation of the entire
unemployment insurance pro-
gram" He also objects to the
elimination from the bill Of 9
provision to allow payment o1
permanent and total disability
benefits.
Mr.. Lynch will move to send the
measure back to the House-Senate
conferees, with instructions to the
House members to insist on dis
ability benefits and the elimina-
ton of the Knowland amendment
The Republicans lined up almost
solidlv against Mr.. Lynch's pro.
posals and a good many Demo,
Gratis were expected to jump theil
party traces. This led observer.
to predict defeat for Mr.. Lynch
and passage of the bill as worked
out by the conferees.
After the House acts, the bill
will go back to the Senate where
early final action sending it tt
President Truman is looked for.

1T is known that Norway en-

that Norway's agriculture also is
of considerable Importance is I'M

been impressed by Norway's tech

press that the possibility of ex-
panding Norway's export of fish
to new foreign markets is being
discussed by the Marshall organi-
cation. There might be several

Introducing Scandinavia
Sweden
ART
ART

Although there have been periods
of art culture in Sweden before,
the first, outstanding Swedish art
lists appeared in the 18th century:
sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel and
painters, PHO and Roslin.
In the 10th century a strictly
academical trend developed in fl
CURE and landscape painting with
the Academy of Fine Arts as the
center.
By the turn of the 10th century
French-inspir e d "Oppositionists"
like Ernst Josephson, Karl Nord-
strom, Karl Williamson, Prince
Eugene, Carl LARSON, Anders
Zorn, Helmer Osslund, and Bruno
Liljefors expressed strong dissat-
isfaction with academic art. Util-
izing the sweeps of Swedish land
and sea, these artists created a
native style with their paintings
of landscapes and wild life.
Among the young expression
ists," a group of artists painting
at the beginning of the goth CEN
fury were: Isaac Grunewald, Sig
rid Hjerten, Leander Engstrom,
Costa Sandels, Nils Dardel, and
Karl Isakson.
Most prominent among naivists
influenced by native art are: Hill
ding Linnqvist, Axel Nilsson, and
Even Erixson. Among free col
orists" may be mentioned: Carl
Kylberg, Ivan Ivarsson, Inge
Schloler, and Ragnar Sandberg.
Sculpture had a slower and har-
der pull in Sweden. Besides Carl
Miles may be mentioned Carl
Eldh and the modern naivist, Bror
Hjorth.
Architecture
With the advent of the goth GEN.
fury came a revival of Swedish
architecture based on traditions of
this movement was the style of
Ragnar Ostberg, designer of Stock
holm's City Hall built in the 20's.
Functionalism burst into full
bloom with the Stockholm Exhibi-
ton of 1880, designed by Gunnar
Asplund, Contemporary architec-
ture is still dominated by this
trend for the practical as well as
the beautiful in apartments and
industrial and public buildings.
! Design
The beautiful 18th century style
has influenced Swedish designers
whose product has been called
Swedish Modern since its appear
ance in the New York World Fair
in 1889. The British have christ
ened it Swedish Grace.
Largely under stimulation of the
Swedish Society of Arts and
Crafts, the new designs have come
to dominate industrial manufac-
turing. Brighter and lighter home
furnishings have come off the pro-
duction line. Glass, ceremics, sill
yer, stainless steel, pewter, rugs.
textiles, and wallpaper are all
styled to meet modern demand for
a blending of artistic form with
practical function.
Many leading Swedish artists
are engaged in industrial art.
Room and furniture design are
represented by men like Carl
Malmsten, Elias Svedberg, and
brentwood pioneer Bruno Mathsson.
Native. handicraft thrives again
in modern Sweden, though once
threatened by the tide of indus
trialization. Revival of this art
has been largely fostered by the
, Swedish Homecraft League.

Elephant Boy NOT Guilty
OF Fatherinq Dancers S Child
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. ia Su-
perior Court jury has decided that
Sabu, elephant boy of the movies,
is not the father of a British
ballet dancers 2-year-old baby.
The jury of six women and six
men returned a 9-to-3 verdict
yesterday favoring Sabu in the
paternity suit brought against him
by Mrs. Brenda Julier Ernst.
Mrs. Ernst. who married a
British film technician last Au-
gust, claimed the baby was con-
ceived in December. 1947. while
she was living in Sabu's home at
Northridge, Calf. Her attorney
said the baby was born September

Attorney Sydney M. Williams.

name is Sabu Dastagir. told the
jury no proof was produced to
show that Mrs. Ernst is the moth

I'VE have only her naked word
that she had a baby in Dublin"
Mrs. Ernst's attorney, Frank D.
Catlin, declared in his argument
to the jury that "Sabu played a
dirty trick, because any man who
gets a girl pregnant and runs
