America Ranked
9TH In Swedish
Imports In '49

Great Britain last year main-
tanned its position as Sweden's
foremost supplier and leading
customer. The United States con-
tinued to hold second place in the
Swedish import statistics, while
as customer it fell from third to
fourth. Western Germany moved
to third place in both respects.
AS in 194S, Norway was Swe-
denis second best customer. Its
purchases consist largely of ves-
sells, for which Sweden, in great
part, receives payment in Marshall
dollars.
The increase in Sweden's trade
with Western Germany was very
striking. Swedish imports rising
by Is per cent and exports by
lis per cent, as compared with
194S. Before the war. Germany
normally was Sweden's most im-
portant source of supply, While
in the Swedish. export statistics it
held second place after Great
Britain.
Aside from Germany. Swedish
imports in general showed a con-
tinued decrease last year Minor
increases Were noted from Africa
and Asia, but for most European
countries as well as for America
the import figures were lower
than the previous year. Imports
from Russia went down from Al
TO IL million kronor, which was
the largest perennial decrease.
Purchases from the United States,
however, decreased considerably.

they will rise again this year.

back to France and then to Eng
land. His fame as a violinist had
by then spread all over Europe,
and when in 1874 he also gave
concerts in America, he was greet
ed with the greatest enthusiasm.
Bull founded the theatre Den
Rationale Scene" in Bergen, and
in 1852 he tried to establish the
Norwegian colony Oleana in
Pennsylvania. This, however,
proved to be disappointment,
and cost him fortune. Bull liv-
ed his last years in America,
where he was an honorary citizen
of New York. The summer holi-
days, however, were always spent
near Bergen,-his place of birth
where he died.-Next to Pa

virtuosos. In his early youth he
had already developed his own
distinctive style. which remained
basically unaltered during his la

Question Of Religion
Holds Up Selection
For Labor Committee
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

An undercover wrangle over re-
1igious aff1liation was reported
today to be holding up selection
of a Democrat to I'LL a vacancy
on the House Labor Committee.
Members said that Representa-
tives Mitchell, Democrat, of
Washington and Tauriello, Demo-
crat, Of New York are being con-
sidered for the seat left vacant
by the death of Representative
Lesinski, Democrat, Of Michigan.
Mr.. Mitchell is a Protestant, Mr..
Tauriello a Catholic.
The religious issue is Of some
Importance because of the bearing
1t has on months old controversy
within the committee over Federal
aid to education.
Mr.. Lesinski, who was chairman
OF the committee and an ardent
Catholic, bitterly and successfully
opposed legislation sponsored by
Representative Barden, Democrat,
OF North Carolina, which would
deny Catholic parochial schools
certain Federal benefits.
Bill Bottled Up in Committee.
The Catholic hierarchy termed
the Barden bill discriminatory.
Mr.. Lesinski. with the support of
those members opposing all forms
OF Federal school aid, was able to
bottle up the bill in the committee.
While Mr.. Lesinski's death ele-
vated Mr.. Barden to the chair
manship, the North Carolinian
has indicated a desire to smooth
over the dispute. Meanwhile,
the vacancy on the Democratic
side has yet to be filled by the
House leadership, although the
committee held its first session
under Mr.. Barden yesterday.
Members said the school aid
issue was at the bottom of the
delay, with Democratic leaders so
far unable to agree on whether
to appoint Catholic or a Protes-
tant as successor to Mr.. Lesinski
Committee vacancies are filled
by party leaders. subject to ap-
proval of the House.
Both Serving First Terms.
Both Mr.. Mitchell and Mr..
Tauriello are serving their first
terms in the House. Mr.. Tauriello
is a Buffalo attorney with wide
Catholic fraternal connections.
Mr.. Mitchell, former newspaper
man, was assistant to former
Senator Mon Wallgren and him
self served short appointive term
in the Senate.
Mr.. Barden has intimated
strongly he will not attempt to
force his bill out of committee
during the remainder of this Ses-
sion or stir up new bitterness.
The committees first session
under his Craftsmanship yesterday
was described as a harmony"
gathering, aimed at ending dis
Sension.
Mr.. Barden made it clear also
that there would be mo strong
arm" use of subpoenas to enforce
testimony before the committee.
Mr.. Barden'S statement indi-
Gated he would not grant Repre-
sentative Jacobs, Democrat, of
Indiana, the independent author
1ty to subpoena John L. Lewis be-
fore Mr.. Jacobs union democ-
facy" subcommittee.
Mr.. Barden said the subpoena
matter will be settled at a COM
mittee meeting today.

Passing Of Dr..
Edwin Embree

NEW YORK, Feb. Shock
and grief at the sudden passing
of DR.. Edwin r. Embree was eX-
pressed today by Roy Wilkins, act
ing secretary of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of

dolences, Mr.. Wilkins referred to
DR.. Embree as "a longtime friend
and active supporter" of the work
Of the NAACP, and praised the
"immeasurable contribution to The
progress of human relationships"
made by the former president of
the julius RoSenwald Fund.
Regarded as one of the OUT
standing authorities on race rela-
tons in the country, DR.. Embree
headed the Rosenwald Fund from
1923 until it was depleted in l94S.
He was the author on many vol
umes on Negro life and on race
relations, and was chairman of the
Chicago Mayors Committee on
Race Relations from 1913 to 1913.
AT the 39th Annual Conference
of the NAACP in Kansas City in
1949, Dr. Embree presented the
Spingarn Medal to DR.. Claiming
II. Tobias.
On the day of his death, Febru-
airy 81, DR.. Embree attended a
luncheon in honor of Bishop Fran
els j. Mcconnell, chairman of the
Committee of 100, which raises
money for the NAACP Legal De
Tense and Educational Fund. He
died that evening after leaving
his office at the recently estab-
lished John Hay Whitney Founda-
ton, where he served as con-
sultant.

Race Relations
1919 Summarized
In Booklet

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Dming
1949 the various states enacted
more civil rights laws than in any
previous years, according to Civil
Rights in the United States in
1949," the second annual balance
sheet of group relations, published
today jointly by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People and the American
Jewish Congress.
In a foreword to the 71-page
booklet, Roy Wilkins, acting Ma
ACP secretary, and David w. Pc
tegorsky, AJC executive director,
observe that while. progress was
made during the year, "racist pat
terms of conduct still shape most
of our lives"
The major portion of the task
still lies ahead" they say. eve
have made progress, but not near
ly enough. This progress, too, we
must remember, has been achieved
during a period of relative eco
nomic prosperity, the most favor
able condition for such gains. If
discrimination is to be abolished
during our lifetime, our rate of
progress will have to be greatly
accelerated. The groundwork is
being gradually laid but we shall
have to move much more rapidly
in building the structure"
The booklet summarizes adj
vances and setbacks during the
year in the fields of law enforce
ment, suffrage, employment, ed
ucation, housing, public accommo-
dations, immigration and naturali-
zation, armed forces, Voluntary
associations, sports, press, radio
and theatre, and other areas.
