Am phibian Plane
With Skis Built
By Morse Plant

OSLO. = flying boat equipped
not only with retractable wheels
but also with retractable skis, has
been constructed by the Norweg-
ian company, Norsk Flyindustri
AS at Lysaker near Oslo.
Particularly we'll suited for am
bulance duties as we'll as for char
ter or feeder-line service in high
ATTITUDES, it is sturdy craft like
ly to give good account of itself
under all sorts of conditions. While
the plane is still undergoing tests,
experts are of the opinion that the
new plane should offer distinct
possibilities for the special type of
service for which it is designed. 1t
is built to meet the requirements
of the U. S. c. A. A.
THE Finnmark," which the
plane is named after Norway's
northernmost province, is an all
metal cantilever high wing mono
plane with Sponsors, which accom-
modates the retractable ski-wheel
under-carriage. The hydraulic-op-
Grated under-carriage can easily
be removed, changing the aircraft
into an ordinary flying boat with
Sponsors. The wings are furnished
with fittings for ordinary wing tip
floats. The tail wheel, which is
fully retractable into a recess in
the tail of the hull, is combined
with small ski.
The cabin has seats for twelve
passengers and a crew of two.
Mail and baggage is carried in a
compartment in the nose of the
hull. The cabin is sound-proofed
and provided with a controlled
heating and ventilation system.
The seats are removable so that all
space can be used for freight or
ambulance work.
The plane is powered by two
600 H. P. Pratt & Whitney R-134O
engines.

Nordie Cooperation:
Airlines Will
Work Together
Under Accord

STOCKHOLM - The directors
of the Swedish, Danish and Nor
wegian airlines, who recently met
in Oslo unanimously agreed that
the cooperation among their three
companies should continue. They
decided to appoint committee
of six to solve the practical prob
lens connected with the continued
cooperation.
The committee charged with the
preliminary investiga ton en-
phasiZes that Scandinavian CO.
operation in commercial aviation
has so many great advantages that
it should be preserved in sensible
and rational form. Scandinavian
Airlines System will take over the
of the whole combine.
In this new organization, the Dam
ish Dbl, the Norwegian DNL, and
the Swedish ABA will be allotted
certain relative parts. They will
to work as independent
national companies, but at the
same time they must operate their
business solely as jointly respons-
IDLE partners in Scandinavian Air
lines System. The new form of
is expected to ensure
savings.

a thing? - l find the American
P. T. A. meetings are very inter-
esting, not in the least because
the adults in attendance aren't
afraid to get up and speak their
minds. It's also interesting to note
how American efficiency in
fluences schools over here. They
seem to be geared to it. And as
for comparing school children in
America and Sweden there's no
denying that the Americans give
an impression of being SO much
holder and cockier and that's
in good keeping with the American
brand of personal freedom - but
the Swedish children certainly
study harder and learn more
What About American Personal
Freedom?
Speaking of personal freedom,
you would think Americans would
have a broader concept of it in
most every respect, but 1 have
found there are certain limitations
which impose more restrictions
than the Swedish variety. Now
take this respect: In Sweden it
would be quite all right for man,
a friend of the family, to invite
me out to a movie, while my hus-
band, who agreed, was away on
some business. That's assuming,
naturally, that the man in question
is doing it without having a love
affair in mind. Now that could
hardly work over here. I wouldn't
dare trying it,
Mr. AXE Alderman, listening in
on the conversation and agreeing
with his wife, attributes the Am
erican moral aversion to such pro-
ceedures to puritanism. He believes
puritanism is strong in America
because of the hard and primitive
conditions which characterized the
NOuHNly QUIlllS It's Garner illSlOI .
Puritanism Is Extremity
Shooting, lawlessness were
common in nearly every COM
munity", he says. The first wo-
men to arrive in some outpost or
remote town were often of the
shady type or prostitutes. The
moral reaction to all this was
naturally so much stronger and
puritanism, in becoming the op-
posite Of the extremities of law
lessness and immortality, eventual
ly produced moral codes far too
rigid and severe. Speaking of
frontiers, Seattle still gives the
impression of being virgin ground

Sweden Sending
Field Hospital
To South Korea

Sweden will send fully
equipped field hospital corps to the
United Nations troops in South
Korea.
The decision follows an appeal
from United Nations General Sec
rotary Trygve Lie for direct mill
tary aid, preferably in the form
OF troops, from all member ma
tions.
Sweden, in giving an affirma-
tive reply, stated that it could not
send troops now because they were
needed for the defense of the coun-
try. The best possible help it could
give at this time, the reply said,
was to send the field hospital COM
plete with all necessary equipment
and stated by Swedes. 1t will have
a maximum capacity of 200 beds
and the staff will include 10 doc
tors, 10 nurses and SO specialists
and medical attendants. Cost of
the field hospital is estimated at
1000, 900 crowns.
Only four nations, none of them
scandinavian, have offered to send
troops, totaling not more than sew
eral thousand men, to South Ko-
rea.
, Hundreds of Swedes have Of
fered to serve with the hospital
and with combat troops in Korea,
according to latest Stockholm re-
ports.

Roy Peterson, the we'll known
Seattle restaurant operator, has
been awarded the lease for opera
ton Of "Norselander," the name
of the restaurant to be situated
on the top floor of Norway Center
in Seattle.
Peterson, born of Swedish par
ents In Seattle, is operator of the
Golden Goose Cafe in the Smith
Tower.
Completion of the Norway Cen
ter building is scheduled for Oc-
tober / and the opening of the
restaurant is tentatively set for
November 1. The new establish
ment, which Peterson earnestly
believes viii be one of the most
popular of its kind in Seattle,
will not be a Norwegian or Nordic
restaurant in the ordinary sense
of the word. However, foods that
are typical for Scandinavia Will be
served although the menu will
specifically feature fish courses,
both for lunches and dinners,
which should have a Scandinavian
flavor at that. Open from lunch
time to midnight, it will be classed
with the inexpensive but quality
style eating places with dinners
ranging from S1.75 to $3.50. Sun
days are expected to provide the
occasions for family dinners" No
doubt the restaurant will be a IA
vorite eating place among Scan
dinavians.

There are now 100000 radio

there were 476,OOO license-holders.
AT the liberation in May, 1s45,
there were only $4,000 paying lis

RAIN|ER5 IN
FOURTH SPOT
Once AGAIN
(By the Associated Press

If the Hollywood Stars don't watch
their hits and pitches somebody s
liable to bop them out of third place,
or even out of the first division in
the Pacific Coast League.
Manager Fred Haney's defending
champions led the league the first
half of this season but succumbed
to Oakland July II and later were
passed by San Diego.
The Stars seemed planted, then
in third place but the scramble in
the middle of the race is SO tight
that anything can happen in the
last three weeks of the schedule.
Hollywood descended another step
on the ladder by losing to San Diego
81 last night.
This left the Stars only three
games ahead of the fourth place
Seattle Rainiers, who took that spot
away from San Francisco, again,
by beating Los Angeles 9-5 while
the Seals were losing to Portland
6-5. Oakland took Suggest from
last place Sacramento 10-7.
With Seattle only a half game
ahead of San Francisco. and the
latter but three games atop Port
land, there are now only 6l2 games
between third place Hollywood and
sixth place Portland.
Jim Baxes' 400-foot score-tying
homer was Hollywood's lone effort
last night, nullified when San Di-
ego's Harry Simpson smacked a two
run double. Red Embree held the
Stars to four hits.
Seattle put on an 11-hit attack,
aided by six walks, to whack the
Angels. Three-run clusters in the
second and sixth we're really all the
Rainiers needed.
Four Portland homers, by Jim
Gladd, Mickey Rocco and two by
Joe Brovia, his Both and 37th this
year, were too much power for San
Francisco. The Seals went down
threatening, however, with a four
run rally in the ninth, stopped by
relief pitcher Bill Fleming.
