Lively Oslo Concert Season Ahead

Dixon, slated to lead the Oslo
orchestra in a program of Ameri-
can music, probably featuring
Gershwin, with singer Anne
Brown, now a resident of Oslo, as
soloist. Later on, Eugene Or
mandy will guest-conduct CLASH
cal program, presenting violinist
Nathan Millstein as soloist.
A number of modern Norwegian
works will be played this season,
including Arne Eggen's "Olav Lii
jekrans," Klaus Egge's latest
symphony, and three major pieces
by Harald Saeverud. AS a novel
departure, though an old idea, Oslo
Philharmonic will devote two full
rehearsals to try-outs of new Nor
wegian works, exclusively for the
benefit of their composers.

Common Touch" Defined
The major question to be thrash
ed out at the meeting was that Of
membership. Should the club b.
restricted to newcomers only, that
is, those who have come to this
country in recent years; should il
be open to anyone with Scandina.
Wan interests or background; anG
should an age limit be imposed tc
insure membership of young peo-

the others, who are newcomers.
1t was agreed not to impose an
age limit; also that membership
be by invitation for the time be-
ing, and that participants "be
Scandinavian" to the point that
they were able to converse in any
one of the Scandinavian languages,
at least so they could make
themselves understood. The mott
walton for the latter decision, I'M
animously agreed upon, was that
the club would not fulfill its true
purpose if membership were open
ed to those who could not add
much to the common touch" The
understanding being that speak
ing Scandinavian was the best
way of making the members feel
they had something in common.
There was even proof of this at
the meeting. At first, while using
English, this meeting of strangers
was conducted in a. rather dry,
business-like fashion. After switch
ing to Scandinavian" completely
the meeting became very intimate
and no longer was there any doubt
of the common touch" In fact
there was even merrymaking
with the singing and playing of
old Scandinavian songs and bal
lads. Danish, Norwegian and Swe-
dish were spoken and sung.
Full Approval
Miss Dalthorp, one of two non-
newcomers present, who does not
speak "Scandinavian,' voiced her
full approval of the decision. The
meeting thought that her sugges.
ton of inviting Am.
orleans like herself to special pro-
grams was excellent. Undoubtedly
when and if the scope of the club:
. activities is broadened, such {
!, course will be favored.
The question of young Firms wa
also raised, and the group agreed
, that they should also be required
to speak any one of the Scandina
Wan languages.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aarthun, a talent
ed couple, are to be congratulate,

Much of the discussion was CEN
tered on details not specified or
barely mentioned in the proposal
of the finance committee, ably
headed by Gus Backman, also
chairman of the meeting. But there
was also some disagreement as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of restricting Yot-
ing rights in the way the finance
committee proposed. However,
participants of the meeting agreed
to use the advanced proposal as
basis for discussion among men,
berships of their respective organ
izations and report back what the
memberships would propose at the
next meeting. Backman and Cliff
Benson, secretary of the commit
tee, both pointed out that the fl
nance committees proposal was
obviously subject to change, and
that workable agreement would
have to be reached at subsequent
meetings. Some representatives
wanted to discuss the finance
committees proposal, word by
word, at great length during the
first meeting. However, a num-
Der of other speakers, including
spontaneously applauded Mrs. Lau-
ra Anderson, K. Einar Carlson and
Victor Lysell, turned the tide in
favor of adjournment, further
study and more discussions in the

Mayor Den0Unces
Representatives

The seven Democratic Third
Division representatives were
the target of Mayor Lee G.
Bettinger's wrath Thursday
and were bitterly denounced
for their action last week of
introducing a memorial in the
Territorial House calling for
the establishment of the Re-
public of Alaska in the event
statehood was denied by Con-
gress.
Mayor Bettinger told the.
Chamber of Commerce that
the action of the representa-
tives was "treasonous, that
they were not speaking for
me, and that there was not a
man on that list that had done
a thing toward statehood. -
The Chamber of Commerce
went on record as strongly op-
posing the memorial. Wires
and letters will be sent to Ju-
neau protesting the action. In
urging the G of C to oppose
the measure Bettinger de-
clared, They are not speak
ing for me when they propose
secession. l am proud to be an
American. Their action is one
of the greatest blows state
hood can receive.
He explained that Congress
sional opponents of statehood
would jump on the Third Div
ision representatives memoir
ial as evidence that Alaska
was politically immature and
not capable of governing or
administering the affairs of a
state.

A meeting among Ray
Lewis, Los Angeles contractor,
Captain w. F. Wesanen, USN,
district public works officer,
and Mayor Lee C. Bettinger
was held Thursday to speed
the defense housing project in
the east addition.
Lewis trip and the meeting
were for the purpose of deter
mining the rental costs to be
placed on the single family
units, which will be built, and
to arrive at a tentative alloca-
ton of the units to enlisted,
officers and civilian personnel.
The rental ceilings deter
mine the number and type of
buildings that will be built,
Lewis said.
Construction will probably
begin this spring pending the
setting of the price the Alaska
Housing Authority must pay
the Bureau of Land Manage
ment for the land decided it by
the city. The AHA then sells
the land to Lewis and he builds
and rents the houses.
The single family houses
will have two and three bed
rooms. Two-bedroom houses
will run around 80% and three
bedroom the remaining 2O% of
the construction.
Plans must be approved by
the Navy Department, AHA
and City before being sent
to Washington for final ap-
proval. On receipt of approval
there the Secretary of Defense
will issue a certificate of occu-
pancy.
Every house will have a gar
age and will be insulated for
Alaskan weather.
