Virginia Science Academ,
Told OF Sensitive Balance
BY the Associafed Press

ROANOKE, May IA mag
netic suspension balance working
in vacuum, for measuring the
smallest possible weight changes
of billionth of a gram, was de-
scribed here today by its inventor
DR.. Jesse w. Beams, University
of Virginia physicist. suggested
how his new magetic suspension
balance might be used to measure
changes in weights too tiny to be
seen with the unaided eye. He
has already given science one
powerful tool in the Ultracentri-
fuge with which the fastest man
made rotary speeds have been OBJ
tanned.
This new balance is operated by
a complex series of scientific prin-
ciples which DR.. Beams outlined
today before the Virginia Academy
of Science meeting here.
Studies of cosmic ray showers

The vast amount of work con-
fronting the subcommittee led
Senator Hickenlooper to suggest
some more practical approach
for examining the files and carry
ing on other phases Of the inquiry
Under restrictions laid down by
Mr.. Truman in making the files
available, only members of the
subcommittee are permitted to
examine them. They have been
barred to the committee staff.
The tight restrictions also re-
quire that the files be examined
only in the White House. One
member said the committee was
not even permitted to take notes
on the cases.

The Tox Goes On
THE ONE PER CENT city payroll tax,

TNHE ONE PER CENT city payroll tax,
IL first adopted five years ago when our
city was in virtual financial crisis, is now once
again renewed for another five year period.
This despite the fact that this particular tax
was to be of an emergency" nature and, as
such to be discontinued when the emergency
no longer existed.
Well, the emergency is gone now Our city
is in sound financial circumstances Doubtless,
with the millions of additional dollars that the
tax will bring in through the coming five year
period, our city will be- or certainly should be,
in excellent financial condition. We hope SO.
We sincerely hope that the money taken in
will be used wisely to serve the best interests
of our city and the general welfare of our peo-
pie
The only regretable feature of the re-en-
actment of this tax is that our City Council
did not deem it wise and necessary to permit
the voters of our community to decide for
themselves, through secret ballot as all ques-
tions of taxation should be decided, as to
whether they want to continue taxing them
selves or not

The Double Squeeze

CHORTLY AFTER the government issued its
~ new regulations on credit controls the
UAW-CIO, through Presi ent Walter p.
Reuther and the other top officers, pointed out
that these controls will result in undue hard
ship the workers everywhere The UAW-
CIO statement pointed out that because of the
exorbitant price levels few workers, if any,
will have the necessary funds to enable them
to build new homes to buy automobiles and
other appliances that they may need.
AS usual the editorial mOuthpieces of Big
Business greeted this warning as malarcky;
as another attempt by labor officials TO en-
courage rather than discourage initiation in
the country.
Well we didn't have to wait long to find
out who was right. New home building, we are
told by the US. Savings & Loan League, has
dropped anywhere from $50 to $50.
Moreover, for the first time since the end
of World War III, all makes of automobiles are
now available for immediate delivery" Once
again a sign that working people no longer
able to meet the new credit requirements. AS
far as second hand cars are concerned, well,
in this field the dealers are yelling bloody
murder that they are ognig bankrupt.
It's the same old story: if you got the
dough, you can get anything you want. But the
workers, usual, just aint got got the kind
of money these credit rules talk about

as the ceiling became lower.
The plane flew north up the

height of about 300 feet. The place
of the crash is about 300 feet
above sea level. AS there was moth

Il Nazi Prison
Camp in Norway
Soon Wiped Out

Though the grim watch towers
and high wire fence still remain,
the rows of lOw-roofed barracks
which once made up Grim con-
centratiOn camp near Oslo are
slowly disappearing, and the camp
will soon be little more than q
gray chapter in NOrway's wartime
history.
The largest Nazi camp in Nor
way, Grim housed thousands of
Norwegian prisoners during the
occupation. Since 1915 it has been
used as a prison for collaboration
lists and shortly after Norway's
liberation, 3,400 quislings and sus-
poets were lodged there. At the
present time, mere 2O8 remain.
The others have either served their
sentences or have been transferred
to other prisons. Many of the
German-built barracks have al
ready been dismantled and sold,
and it is expected that the last of
the wartime buildings will have
disappeared by next fall.

1919 Was Second
Best Year For
Morse Fisheries

With a catch of 1,035,l22 tons,
valued at Kr. 295. OOO. 900, the Nor
wegian fisheries in 1919 had its
second best year. In the record
year 1913 the figures were L.
201,2l5 tons, valued at kr. 3I6,-
10000 Poor weather In the early
part of 1919 was the main reason
why last years catch did not equal
that of 1948.
This year a below-average yield
is expected by the Lofoten Cod
fisheries, according to a statement
by the Minister of Fisheries, Reid
ar Carlson. Demand for Norwe-
gian fish abroad. says the Minis
ter, cannot be satisfied, particui-
arly processed fish and in order to
meet the need for this type of fish
it has been necessary to limit the
export of fresh fish, for which
there is also growing demand.
Norway has won completely new
market by developing trade in
frozen fish. Mr.. Garrison believes
that Norway will now be able to
spare considerable quantities of
herring meal for export as pro-
duction is constantly growing.
Herring meal is used for animal
fodder.

Open Letter
From Norway
Center, Inc.
An open letter to the bust
ness and professional men of
Norwegian descent in Seattle.

In the first half of this century.
just tucked away in our memory,
the Norwegian colony came into
being and it is today of great i'm
portance in the life of our city.
No individual person or group can
claim the credit for its existence.
1t was born out of the desires of
the men and women who i'm
migrated here at the turn of the
last century to join together
around the tradition and heritage
they brought with them from their
mother country. The nucleus of the
colony has been the thousands of
men and women who banded them
selves together into different
groups because of different ideas
and interests, although always
ready and willing to undertake
the functions that needed joint
action. The members of these
groups naturally turned to people
of their own nationality when they
sought legal advice, medical care
and when in need of commodities
necessary to maintain a home for
a family. This was very beneficial
to those of the colony who came
here equipped to serve them. Be
cause of this patronage something
fundamental was established for
themselves and for the second and
coming generations. The various
organizations have also prospered
as the colony grew stronger
1t has long been agreed that a
bigger and better center for the
colony must be built The colony
has done well in the past 1t is up
to us to see to it that Norway
Center becomes reality, a home
we can be proud or for the next
fifty years.
Several organizations have put
everything into this undertaking
They have saddled themselves with
the task to pay off the indebted
ness and a fare rate of interest to
the investors. 1t is not enough.
They need help. The question to
the business and professional men
of Norwegian descent is this: Is
a large healthy Norwegian colony
a liability or an asset to you?
Many have already answered in
the affirmative. Whatever your
answer is, say it now - February
1850.
