Sam Lano Conviction
On Extortion Charge
Upheld on Appeal
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. May 12.-The
Court of Appeals yesterday up
held the conviction of Sam Lano
on an extortion charge.
In 60 decision, it affirmed a
one-year jail sentence pronounced
by Judge John B. Gray, jr., in
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court.
Lano was convicted of threat
ening John Duffy of Duffy's Tav-
ern, 4308 Rhode Island avenue,
Brentwood, Md.
Mr.. Duffy ordered two slot ma
chimes. owned by Lano, removed
from his tavern last August, the
State said. Lano threatened to
prosecute Mr.. Duffy on a bad
check charge unless the machines
were put back, the State added.
Lano "categorically denied max
ing any threats" his lawyers
said. They argued the indict-
ment on which he was tried was
too vague and failed to inform
him fully of the charges against
him.
This contention was rejected
by Chief Judge Ogle Marbury
who wrote for the appeals court:
ut is not necessary to supply
proof in an indictment. nor does
the State have to define it's allie
cations beyond the point where
the accused is sufficiently in
formed of the charges"
"All things necessary to be
proved are not necessary to be
alleged" Judge Marbury added.

Assistant Superintendent r. H.
Rice said today.
In the past, Mr.. Rice reported,
schools have been forced to limit
the amount of some surplus foods

of the car. Police were not sure
what kind of hair was snagged in
the rope but propose to have it
tested IN crime laboratory.
Doctors who performed an au-
topsy determined the woman had
been choked to death and struck
three blows on the head. Abrasions
on the neck indicated, the doctors
said. that she was strangled by a
rope.
Ohio police also were checking
the possibility that the slain wo-
man had lived near Akron.
P. c. Yost, a former commits
sioner of Morgan County told
Prosecutor S. D. Helsley that he
gave ride Tuesday to a woman
answering the description of the
murder victim. The woman said
she lived on a farm near Akron.
Mr.. Yost said he picked up the
hitchhiker near Duncansville, Pa,
and drove her about As miles to
Bree2ewood, Pa.
At that point, Mr.. Helsley said,
she got out to flag a ride to Ohio
with her fiance, a tractor-trailer
driver scheduled to pass that way.
Mr.. Helsley attached special sig
nif1cance to Mr.. Yost's report be-
cause the motorist said the wo-
man complained of a foot blister
and limped away from his car.
The autopsy disclosed a large
blister on the right heel of the
dead woman.
Examining doctors insisted,
however, that the murder victim
had been dead for three of four
days.
Slayer May Have Known Area.
Police expressed the belief
the murderer was familiar with
the surrounding countryside. While
the place the body was discovered
is only $50 yards from a major
highway, it was dumped out on
an old road seldom travelled by
cars or pedestrians.
The body was sighted by Ben
tamin Mills, a mushroom hunter
who lives near Hancock. Mr..
Mills walked into Hancock and
notified Police Chief Howard Muir
fin and Maryland State troopers.
Trooper Charles Burke, who is
stationed here, and Sheriff Paul
Munson took sample fingerprints
of the dead woman to Washing
ton for check but FBI files there
contained none to match.
Prosecutor Helsley said one of
the difficulties in solving the case
is determination of the woman's
age. She was thought at first to
be between 20 and Is years old.
Later, her age was estimated as
high as 40.

Colonial Beach Seeks
Gov. Battles Aid in
Fight on Gambling
Special Dispotch 10 The Stor


COLONIAL BEACH, Va, May
12.-ToWn officials are preparing
to make personal appeal to Gov.
Battle for State aid in their fight
against slot machines and whisky
by the drink. both illegal in Vir-
ginia.
The Town Council of this sum-
mer resort voted, 4 to /, last night
to direct Mayor Norman F. Brew
ington and Town Attorney George
Mason, jr., to arrange a confer
ence with the Governor.
Mr.. Brewington and Mr.. Mason
will ask him to help prevent
liquor sales and operation of slot
machines on piers jutting out into
Maryland waters and on a gam
bling ship anchored offshore in
the Potomac River.
The councils move followed pro-
tests by residents who became
aroused when the 100-foot vessel,
Pleasure Island. dropped anchor a
few days ago off the center of the
town. Owners of the ship plan
to operate slot machines, bar and
a dance floor on the two decks.
Ready for Slot Machines.
-Four piers have buildings ready
for slot machine operations under
Charles County (Md) licenses. One
also has a Maryland license to sell
mixed drinks.
Councilman John E. Mayo op-
posed the resolution seeking the
Governors aid.
IF the Governors attention is
directed here" Mr.. Mayo said,
there may be complications that
affect certain business places
here"
Mr.. Mayo did not elaborate,
but persons familiar with the sit
uation believe he was referring
to bingo establishments which,
though illegal, have operated un-
molested for more than 20 years.
Real Estate Levy Cut.
In another action. the Council
voted 3-to-2 to set the real estate
levy for the next fiscal year at
$2.40. The rate this year is So.
Objecting to the action, Mr..
Mayo said a property revaluation
last year had raised assessments
SO per cent. He contended that a
81 tax rate would bring in the
same total as the SO levy did be-
fore reassessment. The extra 40
cents, Mr.. Mayo declared, was in
tended to meet a $1,000 deficit
which would not have existed if
the town had leased the municipal
wharf to slot machine operators. i"
On April Is the Council rejected
bids for use of the town pier. One
bidder offered $4,000 a season and
agreed to top any other bid up to
$4,000.

Youth Problem Confronts scandinavian Societies
BY A. BJERKESETH

Wan fraternal work is perhaps a
question that should be answered
by the young people themselves.
One thing is sure, we must alter
our course considerably and get
away from too much business"
in our meetings. Our programs
must embrace more than just
card parties and dance" with
coffee and.
For long time some old
timers have tried to figure out
ways and means to interest the
young people but without much
success. Personally I have been
of the opinion that it should be
left more TO the young people
themselves to set the course. In
Sons of Norway it seems hopeless
to get a youth movement" I'M
derway as long as the Supreme
Lodge insists on insurance" as a
condition for joining.
Many of our churches have
solved this problem through their
Luther Leagues and young peoples
society, and it is proven that
the young people are very much
competent to run their own af-
fairs, without too much interfer.
ence from us older people.
Why not try 20 organize on a
similar line in our fraternal orga-
nizations There should be no ri.
tual to follow. not too many laws
and certainly no compulsory in
surance tlife or sick benefit).
The problem of getting the
young people along in our work
could be solved by the young people
themselves only but that requires
that we give them a fair chance.

One of the problems confronting
most of the Scandinavian societies
in America is the fact that il is
almost impossible to get the young
people along in the work. The
average age in many of the fra
ternal organizations now is above
fifty, and consequently their flu
ture is very limited,
Something must be done very
soon to gather in the young ones"

Introducing Scandinavia
Sweden
Universities and Colleges

In most cases a high school di-
ploma is requisite for entrance at
any college, but some of them
stressing the vocational side also
request practical experience and
likewise admit students with trade
high school diplomas.
Sweden's two State universities
are at Uppsala and Lund, the first
founded in 1477, the latter, 1868.
Two private universities at Stock
holm and Goteborg date from 1877
and 1891 respectively.
The State universities have all
four colleges: medicine, law theol-
ogy, and philosophy, with the lat
ter divided into science and arts.
Stockholm university has law
and philosophy. Goteborg has on
ly philosophy. In addition, there
is an Independent college of medi-
cine in the capital (The Caroline
Instituted, and another will be
shortly established in Goteborg.
Professional colleges of univers-
ity caliber offer subjects not dealt
with in universities proper.
Engineering training headquart-
ers are the University of Tech
nology at Stockholm and the Chal-
mer's University of Technology at
Goteborg.
Business graduates get their de-
grees at the two private Colleges
of Commerce at Stockholm and
Goteborg.
Other professions are supplied
by the two Colleges of Dentistry at
Stockholm and Malmo, by the
Pharmaceutical Institute, the Vet
Urinary College, the College of
Forestry, the College of Art, the
College of Music, the Central Gym
nastic Institute and the Graphic
Institute-all at Stockholm.
Further, there are Social Insti-
tutes at Stockholm, Goteborg, and
Lund, the Agricultural College at
Ultima near Uppsala, and the AL
narp Agricultural, Dairy and Hor-
tical Institute near Lund.
Finally, military colleges furnish
all branches of service with Off
GERS.
The number of pupils per teach
er in universities compares I'M
favorably with the situation in
lower schools. While the number
! per teacher in grade schools was
20, secondary schools 10, at Up
psala University students per pro-
fessor were 55, at Stockholm "a,
at Lund AZ in 1945.
! Measures have been taken to
add more university teachers and
personnel and to improve their &C.
onomic and working conditions.
Large-scale expansion of schol-
arships and loans was proposed in
l94s by a Government committee.
/ One fourth of new students would
receive scholarships. The proposal
includes abolition of all fees, the
building OF many student hostels
and canteens, free medical care.
Also students would get free
transportation to and from home
/ towns
Total costs of such a program
I for fiscal 1949-50 were estimated
at 6 million crowns (Sl,667, OOO.)
