Norway Aids
TB Refugees

A hospital train, stated by %
physicians and nurses, recently
brought SO tubercular refugees
and 81 of their relatives to the
end of a long and weary journey
"a permanent home in Norway.
Arriving in Oslo, the train had
been four days under way from
Naples, Italy, with stop-offs in
Austria and Germany to pick up
more refugees with IRO staus.
Local branches of the Norwegian
Relief for Europe have arranged

get the refugees established in
their new homes. Sponsored by

in cooperation with the Relief for
Europe organization, the project
has met with warm response

Taxed To Limit

The rolling stock of the Norwe-
gian State Railways, badly de-
pleted and run down during the
war, has not as yet been entirely
replaced. 1t is estimated that 11fc
of the rolling stock now in use is
average. In the face of a 1870
increase in freight traffic and a
doubling of passenger traffic
since 1889, Norway's railroad sys-
tenn is being taxed to the limit.
The Government is now seeking
additional operating improvements
to increase the efficiency of the
railroads.

Not Five, But 10-Year Plan For
Development Of Northern Norway

A comprehensive 10-year plan,
designed to raise the overall level
of productivity and to assure full
year-round employment in the
three northern provinces, has been
made public by the Norwegian
Government. The proposal calls
for large-scale development of
the regional economy, to be carried
out mainly by private enterprise,
aided by loans and guarantees
from proposed 200 million kroner
development fund.
Northern Norway has large re-
serves and natural resources which
have not been fully exploited. The
coastal waters abound with fish,
and the land has mineral and ore
deposits, and large, contiguous
areas suitable for cultivation. Man.
power reserves are available too,
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1951-12-03

but the foundation of the regional
economy as whole is weak
Northern Norway, which occu-
pies one-third of the total area,
has but 12at of the total popula-
ton. 1t accounts for only 7.1%
of the national income and 1850
of the estimated national capital.
Of the total loan funds at the dis
posal of private banks only 1870
are found in the northern prov
inces, and for savings banks the
regional figure is 7.28s. Also noted
is the fact that only 2.1%o of the
regions farm workers enjoy the
benefit of advanced agricultural
training, against $50 in the rest
Of Norway. Lastly, only 500 of
the homes have electricity, COM

scandinavian Alrl1neS system,
known all over the world as SAS,
recently marked the fifth ami
versary of its North Atlantic Serv-
ice across the Atlantic. s in e
September II, 1916, the cOmpany's
routes have grown to worldwide
proportions, linking 81 cities in 81
countries on five continents. To-
day, SAS Bees fly the air routes
to North America, South America,
throughout Europe, Africa, the
Near and Far East, and as far as
Tokyo.
Living up to it's claim as the
"Skyway to the Olympics," SAS
has planned series of all-inclusive
tours in connection with the 1852
Winter Olympic Games, to be held
in Oslo, Norway, February 1925.
Prices include admission to all of
the so winter sports events; room
with bath and shower at Oslo's
centrally-located Continental Ho-
tel; three meals day; all tips and
gratuities; transfers between air.
port and Oslo; trans Atlantic
round trip transportation via SAS,
and all additional transportation
while in Europe. Four of the six
Olympic tours include side excur-
sions to other European countries.
Passenger Traffic Increasing
Since the inauguration of the
North Atlantic Service, SAS pas
senger traffic has shown a steady
increase. In 1947, the first full
year of the service, SAS carried
a total of 1876 passengers over
the Atlantic. The following year,
1948, the figure grew to 1926.
In 1919, SAS flew 1888 passen-
gers, and in 1850, 21,331.
With a Viking fleet of Sd air
planes, SAS operates Douglas DC
6's on it's international flights, as
well as in Europe. In addition, the
company has contracted to pur-
chase eight of the latest type, $685.
mile-an-hour Douglas DC5B's, with
delivery scheduled for next year.
Although the companys inter-
national flying activities have been
confined to the five postwar years,
the three national airlines of Nor
way, Denmark and Sweden, which
together form the SAS, can boast
of more than 25 years of flying
tradition and experience on the
continent. Realizing early that the
growing challenge in the field of
international transport could be
met only on a partnership basis,
representatives of the three Scan
dinavian countries began negotia
tons back in 1899 and on August
1, 1945, they signed the original
merger agreement which created
the Scandinavian Airlines System
the only airline in the world rep
resenting the m a Or airlines of
three countries pooled into one
organization.
Complete Merger
To extend the policy of mutual
cooperation, repres natives of
Norway, Sweden and Denmark met
again on February 8, 1851, and
signed a new 25-year agreement
effecting a complete merger of the

, three participating airlines. The
internal structure of the new SAS
remained substantially the same,
but the entire company was given
thorough organizational stream
lining for greater efficiency of OPP
GRAFTON, welding the European and
International Divisions into one
unit.
Privately operated ever since its
inception, SAS is owned jointly by
the three parent airlines, which
control so per cent of the total
stock, with the balance held by
the Governments of Norway, Swe-
den and Denmark.
SAS is governed by a Board of
Directors composed of two repre-
sentatives from each of the three
countries, with the craftsmanship
rotating among them yearly. Its
top management consists of Presi-
dent Per A. Norlin, Sweden, and
Executive Vice Presidents Per M.
Backe, of Norway and Viggo J.
Rasmussen, of Denmark.
Variety of Passengers
Analysis of SAS passenger rec
ords shows an interesting trend.
In the first couple of years of the
North Atlantic Service, passengers
flying the SAS were predominantly
businessmen. Now, however, judg
ing from unofficial statistics for
1850, the pleasure of SAS air
travel is attracting increasing
numbers of farmers, factory work
ers, and vacationists of all kinds
of occupations. Housewives, Incl
dentally, constitute the biggest sim
gle classification of people flying
the SAS. And, as many Americans
may recall, the SAS has the dis
tinction of carrying the first baby
ever to be born in an aircraft
while in flight across the Atlantic.
That event happened on November
Is, 1949, aboard the plane "Sverre
Viking" after which the baby girl
was named Maria Sverre Rolbiecki.

Two special types of spies are

JoeLouis
 Knocked Out ByMartiano

NEW YORK, Oct. 27 - R = Joe Louis is through. Boxing has a new idol today in Rocky Marciano.
 It's the old story of the ring. Youth must be served.
 At 2:36 of the eighth round in Madison Square Garden last night. the old Brown Bomber was stretched on his back on the apron of the ring in a pathetic finish to one of the most fabulous stories in all sports.
 Today 27-year-old Rocky, one time soldier, shoeworker, and ditch digger with little more than three years of pro fighting be- hind him, was the toast of the town, the man of the hour.
 The big brass of the International Boxing Club will sit down today with Rocky, born Rocco Marche- giano on Sept. 1. 1924, and discuss future plans for the new young tiger of the ring.
 He'll be offered a shot at Ez- gard Charles, the ex-champiOn, for February or March and a pos sible title shot with Jersey Joe WalcOtt next summer. rt
 For Louis an old man of the ring at 37la years, it's the. end of the long trail = trail that began IT years ago and brought him the worlds heavyweight championship and ring earnings of more than $4,500,0O0. Now the road turns in another direction.
 Joe said he'd wait until Monday to make a decision about his fight ing future.
 T don't want to make a nasty decision" he said through puffed lips in his dressing room.
 He doesn't have to say it though. The crowd of 17,241 (gross gate $152,845) in the Garden and the 50,000000 or more others who watched via coast-to-coast tele- cast, know the answer.
 Now the talk was all Rocky, the new WOW of boxing, the hit of television Thirty y-eight fights, thir- weight victories, B knockouts, all most a carbon copy of the string hung up by the once magnificent Brown Bomber.
 And Rocky tore a page out of Louis book in writing finish to it.
 He belted the balding Joe with rights to the kidneys to take the drive out of his legs, he rushed him until the Bomber was befud- dled and he finished him with the fury of the old Louis.
