WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-(A9.
a federal judge IN Washington

The judge has set Monday for

The government attorney, Nor

Little Hope Held
For Workable
Majority In New
House OF Commons

LONDON. Feb. zs.a Tie
Labor Party Is still in the lead IN
the British election returns SO far.

the Laborites, headed By Prime
Minister Clement Attlee viii re-
ceive d so-caIled unavoidable ma
lorlty. Laborite leaders say the
Labor Party needs majority Of
at least 80 seats to function effec-
lively. An absolute majority in
the new House of Commons is
|313.
Conservative Party experts said
just a short while ago that pros
poets Of a clear-cut victory for
their side looked quite hopeless. Z
But one analyst said. Whichever
government wins it will not stay
in power long"
For instance, the Labor Party,
although victorious in the cleo
ton. might be defeated in Com
mons on a vote of confidence.
And Winston Churchill said 1T
is obvious Parliament is going to
be in a very unstable conditions. =
The total vote in the elections

Morse Sfockfish
Production Heavy

Most of the stockfish produced
this year, estimated to reach a to-
tai of $4,000 tons. has been sold
at fair prices, reports the Stock
fish Export Committee. The guam
tity is approximately twice the
1949 production Before the war,
however, normal annual yields
were 25,0OO-3O, 900 tons.
Where Ii Went
Main buyers of the 1850 output
were Norway's old stockfish mar
kets, Italy and West Africa. Italy
is getting 6,OOo-7 900 tons, and
West Africa 3,00O-4,0 90 tons. The
rest of the $4,000 tons will go to
the United States, South Ameri-
ca. the Netherlands, Belgium,
France, Sweden and Finland, in
smaller quantities. Payments are
being made in foreign exchange
only.

Norway Plans Vast Projects To
Bolster Its National Defense

The Norwegian Cabinet has APP
proved a proposal designed 10
strengthen national defense. An
estimated total of about $50 mil
lion Kroner was asked for the next
twO-and half years, in addition
to six million Kroner to cover the
cost of placing Norwegian ship
ping at the disposal of the United
Nations for use in its Korean po-
lice action.
Cabinet States Reasons
In the preface to its propose!
the Norwegian cabinet observes
that the aggression in Korea, to-
gether with subsequent events,
have made it necessary for Nor
way, along with other nations, to
reconsider it's security problems.
Against this background, the
preface continues, it would seem
to be of vital Importance to all
peoples desiring to preserve peace
and liberty, to make it clear that
an aggressive war will not be toll
Grated, and that the solution of
international disputes can be
found only in arbitration. The u.
N. police action in Korea, it de-
clares, is decisive battle against
aggressive warfare and against
aggressive mentality.
In proposing the extraordinary
defense appropriations, the Nor
wegian cabinet emphasizes that a
realistic peace and defense policy
in the present situation will re-
quire the Norwegian people to as
sumo heavy burdens in the form
of additional taxes, and reduced
consumption and investments. The
Cabinet expresses its conviction
that the overwhelming majority
of the Norwegian people is ready
to make these sacrifices for the
sake of peace and liberty.
Main Detectives
The proposed Norwegian pre-
paredness program is based on the
following principles:
a. The primary objective is 10
increase the size and the effec-
tiveness of the armed forces which
Norway can mobilize by the end
of 1852, and to assure a rapid
mobilization.
b. The preparedness appropria-
tons, as proposed, will not allow
for special inductions or lengthen-
ed periods of military service.
Separately, the Cabinet request
ed powers to induct and keep in
service officers and men beyond
the regular period of training in
time of peace, when necessary.

CHATTY
CORNER
Swedish Writer
Is In Portland

Perhaps you thought Norwegian
Matthea TOrseth is the only Scan
dinavian author of any Importance
in the Northwest. Well, you're
wrong. You might as well count
on Hulda Peterson Putzke, too.
She's Swedish, hailing from Port
land, Oregon, and her prize book
is Goat of Many COlOrs."
1t all happened back in 1880, in
Wisconsin. She was living in Wis
consin; her hsband was travelling;
her son Thomas was in high
school, and Hulda was lonely.
IT sat down at the typewriter
I think better that way-and be-
gan" she recalled. II don't know
where 1 got the plot, except that
I lived in a community of loveable,
generous, broad-minded Jews. Per-
haps the story came to me SUBJ
consciously. My best character
was a Jewish doctor. He was so
fine that l actually fell in love
with him.
THE GIRL in my book was
really a very bad one. She did
nothing I wanted her to do-none
of my characters did, except the
doctor. They all got away from
me, and the book ended so differ
emily than the way l wanted it to
end"
Mrs. Putzke was past 80, and
it was her first attempt at writing
fiction. She wrote through to the
finish, then rewrote the story and
sent it to an agent. AS usual in
depressions, nothing happened,
she said. and when she got her
manuscript back, she laid it away
and forgot it."
She returned to Portland in 1887
to be near her father, Sven Peter
son, an early oil company en-
ployee in Oregon. There was still
a depression, but the author re-
calls those years as happy ones
without war land the world had
not yet blown up"
WITH THE END of World War
II came a flood of books touching
on prejudice and intolerance. Mrs.
Putzke read many of them before
she was convinced her book was
better than any she had read. She
got the manuscript out and read
it for the first time in years. Dor
rance & Co. of Philadelphia ac-
cepted it.
