Copyright, 1850, by Bell Syndicate, Incl By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-There's more than meets the eye behind the mysterious maneuvering to block the Kefauver resolution for an in- vestigation of organized crime and gambling in the US.A. It is now April the Kefauver Investigation was first proposed in January. Yet it hasn't even passed the Senate.
 Officially, the delay is part of usual Senate routine-the question of which committee shall investi- gate what, etc.
 But behind the question of which senator shall do the crime-gam- bling Investigating, some powerful forces are at work which don't want any investigation at all Senator Kefauver, himself, has had all sorts of personal pressure brought by friends he never dream ed were close to the gamblers ask ing him to sidetrack his probe. Kefauver is standing pat, though one or two of his colleagues may not be so scrupulous.

AIR TRAFFIC B00M5;WILL
 CAB SEE IT!
Everything with Wings Pressed Into North-
 ern Service

SEATTLE, April 10-tR-Need for additional air service to Alaska. re- commended recently by a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner. has been underscored the past few days by the tremendous volume of air freight being flown to the Territory by both scheduled and non-sched- uled lines
 Cargo volume between Seattle and Alaska has skyrocketed for two reasons, military construction in the Far North and signs of an early spring in the Territory. Pan American World Airways, for example, has scheduled several extra all-cargo flights. Northwest Airlines has added additional flights, too, to fly such items as perish- ables. machinery parts and lumber to Anchorage.
 Non-scheduled lines, such as Air Transport Associates, are stepping up operations, with three and four 1 flights a week set for Anchorage and Fairbanks.
 Everyone Goes Construction and fishery workers are beginning to head northward, too, and impressive increases in pas senger volume are being recorded. Apparently every line serving the Territory will have to assign all
 available planes to Alaska service
 not later than May l. And even then it's doubtful if the firms can ! meet the demand.
 Word has been going around the aviation industry here, for example, that contractors bidding on secret 1 government projects in the Far North are seeking air line bids on cargo ranging up to 3,00O,OO0 pounds 1 this season alone.
 Airline officials are convinced that the Civil Aeronautics Board must approve more scheduled Alaska air service to meet this stepped-up demand. They want decision soon so additional planes can be placed into service during this rush season. Decision Due
 If Pacific Northern Airlines wins it's Juneau-Seattle link, for example, the firm plans to acquire additional DC-4 transports.
 Oral arguments in the Alaska service case were completed in Washington, DC, last week. Con- ceivably CAB decision on the route award could be made within a month. Cargo consignments being flown north by Pan American include food caches destined for geological sur vey parties of the Department Of the Interior working far inside the Arctic Circle.
 Small containers of food are loaded in huge drums, resembling regular oil drums, and then the drums are carried out into un- mapped wilderness by bush pilots and dropped on the tundra, on river sandbars or other terrain where their shiny, black surface will be visible.
 Food thus cached in the air-tight containers is sought out by survey parties working from central survey camps. The drums are delivered two or three weeks in advance of the land parties.

Finnish Debt Payments To U. S. Will
Be "Refunded" For Cultural PURPOSES

Today only Finland continues to
repay the debt, with interest.
When other beneficiaries of the
program defaulted, a State De-
partment spokesman recalled, it
was suggested informally that a
Finnish request for cancellation
probably" would be approved.
Finland replied with a diplomatic
answer to the effect that when
we borrow we pay"
With the exception of the four
years 1940-43, Finland annually
has paid on the principal amounts
ranging from a low of $4,000 to
a high of 100000. In all, ST.
474,O00 has been paid on principal.
At the same time, and with
the exception of 1941 and 1912,
she has paid interest charges
ranging from $126,O0O to $169, 900
for a grand interest and principal
total of nearly a half million dol
lars more than the original debt.

Nobel Awards Portray Panorama
In an article in the December
1949 issue of Scientific American,
George w. Gray, well known
writer, gives a vivid and author
itative summary of the history of
the Nobel prizes in science ("The
Nobel Prizes = Although they are
given in literature and peace as
we'll as science, they have mainly
reflected a scientific age. A history
of the science prizes and how they
were begun.")
Despite omissions, Mr.. Gray
writes 1.-The series of Nobel awards
portrays as in a grand panorama
the past half century of physics,
chemistry and biology. The work
of scientists is so interrelated that
the names chosen automatically
suggest the missing ones. Checking
over the list of the 154 persons
who have received or shared in a
Nobel science prize, one is i'm
pressed with the steady, almost
continuous advance of knowledge,
and with the magnficence of the
total achievement. From its con-
temptation there arises a sense of
grandeur"
AS for the standing of the ma
tons in the science awards, Mr.
Gray points out that the most
striking point about the U. S. is
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1950-02-14
Honesty Pays:

Another chapter in the story of
a little international neighbOr
that believes in paying two-and-
One-half-fold for a loan of war
time food has been announced by
the State Department.
Thirty-five Finnish graduate
students and ten technical spe-
cialists, the Department has an
nounced, will be the 1850, an
first, beneficiaries of an Ameri-
can program to spend on the Fin
nish-American cultural relations
the First World War debt money
that Finland continues to pay,
though the rest of the world long
since has defaulted.
Behind the announcement Is
the tale of debt compounded by
interest and stubborn Finnish
pride, story of how the little
country has already repaid S8,-
702,98O on a S8281, 926 debt and
insists that it intends to pay an
other $13,4O8,2Os by 1884 to wipe
the slate clean.
The original Finnish debt came
about in February of 1919 when
the Firms received powdered milk
and other surplus Army supplies
from the American Relief Admin
istration. The supplies were part
of 100000, 900 worth of relief ma
terials Congress made available
for impoverished European ma
tions, on the condition that they
take it on credit and repay the
debt at 5 per cent interest.

the acceleration Of awards to
Americans in recent years. "In the
first 16 years of the Nobel prizes,
only three scientists in the U. S.
received awards during the next
16 years there were four; but in
the past 16 years, ending in 194S,
there were 20. In 1916 all three
prizes in science went to the u S.
Moreover, many Nobel laureates of
other countries have moved to
America - More Nobel prize VIM
ners are now residing in the U. S.
than in any other country"
mo recurrent event in the intel
lectual world" Gray concludes, SIS
so avidly awaited by so many peo-
pie as the annual announcement
of the Nobel awards; no formal
honor conferred by man carries
such distinction as a Nobel prize
Alfred Nobel - avoided publicity,
invariably refused to be interview
ed by the press, and despised self
advertisement. Yet, surely no other
man in modern times has raised so
wide-known memorial to himself.
Year after year, as long as civili-
cation stands, Scandinavia an
nual weighing of human achieve
ments will serve not only to rec
ognize and honor those who have
m a d e unusual contributions to
mankind but also to remind the
world of Alfred Nobel the dream

out that never has preparation for
war been carried on by so many
different countries in time of
peace as today. Men do not real
ize yet that history proves that
governments that have placed
their faith in military machines
have been destroyed by the de-
struction they themselves brought
about. 1t is therefore necessary
that our United Nations change
their policy and work harder for

Ice Cream Makers
Learn How People
Prefer Strawberry

The ice cream men meeting at

day how the public likes its bites
of strawberry ice cream.
DR.. w. S. Arbuckle, professor Of
dairy manufacturing at the Uni
versity of Maryland, gave the low
down to the National Association
of Retail Ice Cream Manufac-
turers, holding it's 17th annual
convention here.
DR.. Arbuckle said that over a
two-year period the University of
Maryland fed different prepara-
tions of strawberry ice cream with
several varieties of strawberries to
consumer groups" to find out
which type had appeal.
Groups of so persons tasted 6
cups OF ice cream couple of times
a week and were retested to make
sure their votes were not just
based on the mood of the taste
buds.
The verdict: People want lit
tie slices of Strawberries" DR..
Arbuckle said, "and they want
slices in each mouthful. That way
they don't feel they're being
gypped."

Traffic Slower
With Light Off,,
Keneiipp Says
Bridge Time Faster,
But 14th Street
Truvel Slower

The first survey of the traffic
flow since the controversial light
was turned off at Fourteenth and
D streets S.W. shows cars are
moving faster across the Four
teenth Street Bridge but are 16
seconds slower in reaching Con-
stitution avenue, Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp reported today.
The running time from the
south end of the bridge to the
north side of the D street inter-
section is Is seconds faster, Mr..
Keneipp said. But by the time
the cars reach Constitution ave-
nue., he added, the elapsed time is
Is seconds longer than it was be-
fore the light went out.
These figures were recorded by
Mr.. Kneipp's Office during rush
hour traffic: On October S, with
the light working, it took three
minutes and three seconds from
the bridge to cross D street. Today
it took two minutes and 38 Sec
onds-a decrease of Is seconds.
On October 5 the running time
from the bridge to Constitution
avenue was six minutes and %
seconds. Today it was six min
utes and 38 seconds-an increase
of Is seconds.
For southbound traffic on Four
teenth street, the survey showed
on October S that two minutes
and 80 seconds were required to
travel from Constitution avenue
to the bridge. while today's figure
was two minutes and "a seconds
an increase of four seconds.
In releasing the figures, Mr..
Keneipp said, There is no ques-
ton that Fourteenth street traf-
fic could be expedited with the
signal light turned off at D
street" He added that speed
could further be increased if the
lights at c street, independence
avenue and Constitution avenue
were turned Off"
But that leaves the $64 ques-
tion," he commented.
How would pedestrians and
moving traffic get across these
streets? No one ever contended
that traffic lights would speed
up traffic. They are meant for
orderly movement of pedestrians
and traffic at intersections.
Mr.. Keneipp said further sur
veyS will follow.
