Swedish Clothing
Is Now Attracting
Foreign Markets

STOCKHOLM One of the
largest mannequin shows ever ar
ranged in Sweden took place in
the Stockholm City Hall recently
when the 1850 models of leading
Swedish firms in the field of Ia
dies ready-tO-wear clothing were
displayed.
AS a result of efforts made in a
rapidly growing ready-to-wear in
dustry, Swedish people in recent
decades have earned the name of
being among the best dressed in
the world. This industry has alb
sorbed many of Sweden's fore
most tailoring experts and this
fact, coupled with far-reaching
naturalization, has made it pos
sible to turn out a product COM
bining quality and style with a
moderate price.
Nowadays, Swedish ready-to-
wear clothing is attracting a great
deal of attention also abroad.
Both mems and ladies' wearing
apparel is finding market in Bri-
tain, France, Belgium, Germany,
Switzerland and other countries,
partly as a result of the special
Swedish export drive in this field.

Americans ADOPT
Buddy System"
Special to the Express

American GIs who are interest,
ed in the future Of Korea are
very pleased with the buddy sys.
tenn recently adopted in Korea.
The buddy system, tho still on
a small scale, works like this: each
United States soldier has a south
Korean soldier with him from
morning to night and charged with
teaching him United States tactics
varying from military matters to
personal hygiene.
This is done to bring about
closer relations between the forces
of the United States and South
Korea, which have suffered be-
cause of the naturalization re-
%gulations.
The GIs have learned the hard
way to distrust Korean ''refug-
ees", so they gladly obeyed orders
to clean-out native huts to pre-
vent enemy troops from hiding in
them by day and joining United
States lines at night.

Fred B. Smith, Belcher learning
of Williams presence at the home
of his wife, broke into the house
through the screen door, and see

with the bullets finding their mark
in the chest and abdomen of the
victim.
Later seeing his wife run into

Fourth Division
Finds Indignation
Works

FORT ORD, Calf. (ANP) The
Fourth Infantry division, pioneer
in the Utopia Of military service
complete Indignation or the alb
sence of segregation in even the
lowest unit has found out that
such a program works, and for
the betterment of all concerned.
Not only has the division elimin-
ated the separation of Negro units
on the regimental battalion and
Company levels, but it has gone
further by mixing Negroes and
whites in squads : the bottom
unit in the army.
There is no coddling, and there
is no trouble. Negroes assigned to
the Fourth, currently engaged in
it's most expensive training pro-
gram since World War II, are
treated exactly as their white
counterparts. They must maintain
the same standards and when they
make good, they are promoted.
Officer personnel, some of whom
served inthe last war, believe the
policy of complete interrogation
serves as an incentive for a soldier
to stand on his own feet. 1t also
has the effect Of breaking of sep
arate cliques of Negroes or whites.
Instead, the two races have shown
a marked tendency to mix freely
in training and at play.
What will happen to these train
ees when they are sent out as

fits is one question occupying the
attention of Fourth division Of

They believe that if Negro troops

Life in Hiroshima on this fifth

To the unfamiliar observer, the

startling newness of many of the

following humanity's initial atomic
bombing, when more than 60 per-

the city has acquired a "new look''
astounding to the American who
visits there expecting to see bat.
