way began to carry out a compre-
hensive plan for developing the
nations civil defense into a close
ly integrated system to be manned
by 10000 carefully trained ward
ems. To date more than half of
the total number of wardens have
received their initial training in
rescue work, fire fighting, decon-
tamination, first. aid, and other
tasks of the civil defense. In addi-
ton to the $4,000 local wardens,
the 4-year plan calls for the train
ing of a 10000 man strong indus
trial defense force.
Before 1852, Norway will have
spent "a million kroner for con-
struction of command and alarm
stations, depots and mobile sup
port centers; another 81 million
kroner for public air raid shelters
blasted into solid rock, and well
over 81 million for miscellaneous
equipment, bringing the total ex-
pendit,lre for civil defense develop
ment to 1875 million kroner.
During the last war, Norway
suffered more than 700 air attacks,
resulting in the loss of about 800
lives and 100 seriously wounded
Material damage was estimated at
400 million kroner. About 2,100
houses were totally destroyed in
air attacks and another 1900 bad
ly damaged, aside from the 10000
houses burned and blown up by
the Germans in the province of
Finnmark.
A Novel Departure
With this experience fresh in
mind, Norwegian civil defense au-
thorities have developed a unique
system of mutual support areas,
which has been studied with great
interest by observers from other
countries in Western Europe.
There will be Is such mutual
support areas, composed Of local
mobile reserves which, on. short
notice, can be rushed to where
ever they are most needed. Be
sides, the chief of each mutual
support area will have at his dis
posal a separate mobile support
column, consisting of fire battai-
ion, plus medical, rescue, demoli-
ton, decentralization, patrol and
commissary units, totalling 200 Of
ficers and men with about 80 mo-
tor vehicles. OF major Importance
will be the standard 10O-man fire
battalion, to be equipped with 9
pumping engines and "a fire hoses.

Swedish Election

Scandinavian American
My husband wants to know
about the final vote the commun-
lists in Sweden got. he says ne
has not seen any final vote and
being from Stockholm he wants to
know how they made out there.
Please give us some information
on this.
B. S., Seattle.
Ed. Note: In the recent elections
Sweden's communists lost two
thirds of their seats in provincial
assemblies, town and city councils
throughout the country. In some
cases absentee votes modified the
the preliminary figures. Thus, two
more seats went to the conserva-
tives in the 10O-man city council of
Stockholm, the liberals and social
democrats losing one each. The
final position in Stockholm is now
16 conservatives, SO liberals, 43
social-democrats, and 5 commun-
lists. the latter formerly having IL
seats.

retary of State for Public Affairs,

Dorothy
Dix
Girl Asks Advice
On Marrying
An Oriental

DEAR MISS DIX: am an
American girl and have been in
love with an Oriental for four
years. We fell in love in our
grammar-s school days and have
been devoted to each other ever
since, but we cannot marry be-
cause of our parents objections
on account of our difference in
nationality. We know that If we
could marry we would live happy
lives. loving and working and help
ing one another, and it seems too
cr1-el that we should be separated
by the accident of race. What
would you suggest? Shall wei
marry in spite Of our parents OBJ
jections? Or shall we break of
our engagement and go through
life loving and wanting each other?
PUZZLED.
Answer: The problem of the
mixed marriage, the marriage of
people Of different nationalities
and different religious faiths is one
that tears at thousands of young
hearts and that no one has the
wisdom to solve, or the temerity
on which to give advice. So much
is to be said on both sides of the
question. There is religion, for
instance. It would seem that re-
ligion, which in its essence is the
love Of God and the desire to live
life filled with kindness sand
charity and good deeds, should not
be a bar between two people who
love each other no matter to what
particular creed they belong. Yet
experience teaches us that there
can be no other one thing, not
even the greatest crime that a
husband and wife can commit
against each other, over which
they can fight so bitterly and
which can tear them apart 80
effectually as their respective
creedS.
OF course, people Of different
religious faiths do marry and live
happily together, but this only
happens when both the man and
the woman are exceptionally in
telligent and broad minded and
just.
The same thing may be said of
intermarriage between the races.

Barrett said 80 per cent of the
radio audience in France hears the
Voice of America, and State De-
partment films are seen by a mini
mum of 100 million people a year.
The department has been able
to guage the influence of it's Voice
of America broadcasts on the
"other side of the Iron Curtain, -
Mr.. Barrett observed, through the
increased attention they have re-
ceived from the Russian press and
radio.
The biggest problem with which
the State Department has been
faced in getting the broadcasts
over, the speaker pointed out, is
the enormous jamming campaign
being carried on by the Russians.
''They have spent more money
on jamming, than we have on the
broadcasts themselves, Mr.. Bar
rett declared.
Due to technical improvements
in communication, closer cooper
alton with the British Broadcast
ing Corp. and a new method of
"cuddling" the Russian broad
casts, he added, we're faring
much better"
The speaker explained the new
"cuddling" method involves using
a radio frequency so close to the
Russian frequency, they jam
themselves out.
Pointing out what IAN enor-
nous opportunity the expanded
information program will give the
United States on the psychology
ical front. Mr.. Barrett declared
"the Russians are not infallible in
this field. They made an extreme
blunder in handling the Korean
situation and in doing so gave
us more ammunition than we've
had in a long time.
Were moving fast to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity" he
continued. We'll be making mis-
takes. Well stick our necks out a
bit, but only because we think we
have a big job that has to be done
and in hurry"
Mr.. Barrett accompanied his
talk. which was entitled 'The Big
Truth VS.. The Big Lie" with the
showing of two films contrasting
the operation of Russian and
information services.
One, a captured Russian film
made for distribution in the satel-
lite countries depicted the Soviet
of life in capital
istic America" The other film was
a State Department documentary
short on the Korean war, which
within a month after the outbreak
of hostilities was copied in 1000
prints in 26 languages.
Mr.. Barrett was introduced by
Mrs. Frank Pace, program chair
man. Mrs. Fred Morrison, presi-
dent of the club. introduced honor
