What Happened In Norway Ten Years Ago

Generally speaking one of the
blessings of human beings is the
ability to forget. But if thought
lessly applied it may also be a
danger. There are certain things
which we may forget only at our
own peril"
Norway's Ambassador to the
United States, Wilhelm Morgen-
stierne, sounded this warning note
in his statement concentrating

Norway by the Nazi aggressors

bassador Morgenstierne. had been
thinking that the well-being and
the cultural and spiritual develop
ment of the people, the whole
people, was the thing that really
mattered. That schools and hos
pitfalls and decent homes for human
beings were more important than
guns and tanks, warships and
planes. We were rather proud, l

For two months the Norwegian
military forces under the leader
ship of King Haakon and the legal
Norwegian Government fought the
invaders on Norwegian soil. When
early in June, 1910, our British,
French and Polish allies had to
withdraw their forces from Nor
way owing to military develop
ments in France and Britain, the
NorwegianS could not stand up
alone against the overwhelming
forces of the mechanical barbara
ans. King Haakon and his Cabi-
net were forced to leave the coun-
try in order to continue the fight
for Norway's liberation from Lon
don, where they had been warmly
welcomed by our ally and friend
Great Britain
The Ambassador emphasized
that the Norwegian Government
in London, 1940-45, was not a
group arbitrarily established in an
emergency to carry on for its
country-not a Government in
Exile" in the ordinary sense-but
a genuinely constitutional Govern
ment with full powers to represent

economy. Cash payments by gov
ernments-Federal, State and
local-were about $4,000, 900 .000
higher in the calendar year 194s
than in 1948. Federal cash pay
ments alone were 5000, 900 ,000
higher.
Unifying Principles for Action.
These facts show our tre-
mendous economic strength. But
this strength does not rest in ma
terial things alone.
If we are to continue our eco
nomic growth the major economic
groups must all pull together
businessmen, wage earners. and
farmers must work toward the
same ends. Government, in turn
must carry out the aspirations OF
the whole people.
First. Our economy can and
must continue to grow.
An expanding population and
an increasingly productive labor
force require constantly expand
ing employment opportunities and
steadily rising levels of invest
ment and consumption. Within
five years, we can achieve an
annual output in excess of $780,
000. 100000. The gain in national
income would be equal to an aver
age of nearly $1,000 for every
family in the United States. This
would greatly improve standards
of living. It would go far toward
our goal OF the complete elimina-
ton of poverty. 1t would provide
employment opportunities for
about $4,000, 900 workers.
Such prospects are not fanciful.
They are based upon our long
term record OF achievement. = =
But we will not make this prog
ress within five years unless we
begin to move in that direction
now. Our immediate goal for
1850 should be to regain maxi
mum employment. This requires
the reduction of unemployment to
the minimum level consistent with
labor mobility in a free economy.
We should strive this year to re-
duce unemployment from $500, 900
to 100000, or 100000 at most.
This would mean about 81, ,000.0
civilian jobs. It would mean STEP

Experts on flag protocol were

question of how the United Ma

President Truman ordered Gen.
Macarthur, as supreme command
er of the U. N. forces, to display
the blue and white U. N. flag
"concurrently" with flags of va
rious nations participating" in the
fight against North Korea.
That seems to leave Gen. Mac

CAB to Ask Dissolution
Of Temporary Injunction
Won by AOA Employees

Sale of American Oversee Air
lines to its transatlantic rival
Pan American World Airways
was delayed by a temporary re-
straining order issued by Judge
Henry A. Schweinhaut of District
Court at 2:30 am. today.
The order came only q. few
hours before the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board was to have announced
approval of the sale by direction
OF President Truman. The CAB
which had been overruled by the
President after it voted 2 to 3
against the sale. moved immedi-
ately to get the order dismissed.
Emory T. Nunneley, general
counsel of CAB, planned to confer
with Judge Schweinhaut TODAY in
an effort to have the order dis
solved. The judge set a hearing
date of July 10 on the petition
for a permanent injunction.
TWA Not Represented.
The temporary order was OBJ
tained in behalf of employees of
American Overseas, represented
by James M. Lands, former chair
man Of CAB. Another party to
the action was the Seaboard &
Western, Inc, a non scheduled
carrier now seeking. a trans -Atlan-
tic air freight route.
The compliments told the court
they faced irreparable damage if
the board issued any order other
than that originally sent to the
President. Mr.. Truman used his
authority under the Civil Aviation
Act to overrule the board and
approve the sale.
Trans World Airline, which has
opposed the sale since the agree
ment was announced by the rival
airlines in December, 194S. was not
represented in the action to OBJ

ates in competition with Pan Am
and American Overseas.

Mr.. Truman stipulated, it was
learned, that TWA be permitted
to serve London and Frankfurt
and Pan Am was to have the right
to fly to Paris and Rome, now
served only by TWA.

Authority for Hiring
On Emergency Basis
Written into Job Bill
House Committee Votes
To Permit President
To Suspend Rules
By Joseph Young

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today took action to give
the President authority to sus-
pend civil service hiring rules and
put the Government on a war
service hiring basis.
The committee left it up to the
President to decide if and when a
national emergency exists to JUS
tify suspension of regular Civil
Service hiring procedures.
The proviso was inserted in the
bill to give Federal agencies great
er hiring and examination author
ity.
In approving the measure today,
committee members said they felt
the President should have the nee
essary authority to place Govern
ment civilian employment on a
war-service basis "at a moments
notice."
Modified Hoover Proposal.
The Government operated on a
War-Service hiring basis during
the last war. Under this pro-
gram, the Civil Service Commits
sion does the bulk of the recruit
ing, but Federal job applicants
are not required to pass regular
Civil Service exams and the
agencies have free hand in
hiring.
The rest of the bill is a modi-
fled Version of the Hoover Com
missions proposal for decentral-
izing hiring functions to the in
dividual departments and agen-
cies.
The committees bill gives the
Civil Service Commission the re-
sponsibility for establishing regu-
lations and also gives the commits
sion strong powers to crack down
on agencies violating these rules.
On Category Basis.
Inc measure PROVIDES that hlr-
ing for top-level Government
jobs would be done on a "cate-
CORY" basis, grouping applicants
into categories of outstanding, y
well qualified" qualified" and
unqualified"
The commission would still
have the responsibility for giving
exams and placing persons for
lower-grade Federal jobs and
some of the middle-grade ones.
The commission would make
the final decision as to what kind
of job exams would be held by
the agencies.

Troops of unestimated strength
were said to have arrived in Can
ton Tuesday on their way to
Manchuria.
A small movement of Commu-
mist troops from Canton toward
the Hong Kong border also was
reported. The dispatches said
this maneuver was intended to
confuse foreign intelligence as to
'the real intentions" of the Reds,
and to distract attention from
transfer of sizeable forces toward
Manchuria.
This diversion, the reports said,
was made at the specific direction
of the Soviet high command.
