Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1951-05-21

A group of civic-minded Nor
wegians have started a vigorous
campaign to transform the L app
Society into a nationwide organi-
cation for all who are interested
in the cultural and economic adj
vancement of Norway's 10000
Lapps, or "Samer," as they prefer
to be called.
Founded in 194S, the Society is
dedicated to fostering better un-
derstanding between the Lapps and
their fellow Norwegians. It's main
objective is to help the Lapps in
adapting themselves to modern
society. AS part of its expansion
plan, the Society proposes to pub
lish Lapp-Norwegian dictionary
and also Lapp Yearbook, pre-
senting factual information on the
historical background and present
conditions of this ancient, peace
full, and often underestimated and
misunderstood minority group. The
Society will also campaign for
more free scholarships for Lapp
youths, many of whom at present
are unable to take full advantage
of the educational opportunities
available to them as Norwegian
citizens.
To Preserve Culture
The Importance of the new pro-
gram was stressed by Asbjorn
Nesheim, who heads the Lapp So
ciety's current membership drive.
Mr.. Nesheim told "Aftonposten"
that the Society will do all it can
to speed the assimilation and nor
wegianization of the Laps. At the
same time, efforts will be made
to preserve certain unique aspects
of Lapp culture, not least in or
der to strengthen the growing
feeling of equality and self-respect
among the Lapp people.

Judges Oppose Bills
To Change Procedure
OF Small Claims Court

The judges Of Municipal Court
have voted overwhelmingly against
"all sections" of two identical
congressional bills which would
change certain aspects of Small
Claims Court procedure here.
The judges voted 11-2 to back
a three-judge subcommittee re-
port opposing the proposed legis-
lative changes. Chief Judge
George P. Barse and Judge Mil
ton S. Kronheim, jr.. cast dis
senting votes.
The bills have been offered in
the House by Representative
Celler, Democrat. of New York
and in the Senate by Senator
Pastore, Democrat. of Rhode Is
land.
Merit Seen in One Section.
In their report released yes
terday. Judges Walter j. Casey,
Thomas D. Quinn and Frank H
Myers recommended against all
of the five proposed amendments
although they declared one Sec
ton has "some merit"
In point-by-point breakdown,
the subcommitte had this to say:
To raise the Claims Court pres
ent $50 jurisdictional limit to
$100 would substantially and per-
manently increase the work load
|of an already "understaffed''
court.
Sharp Rise in Volume Forecast.
Whereas an average of 1000
cases are now filed there monthly.
the proposed $100 limit would
mean more than 1000 cases
would be added each month. If
that were to come about, an ad-
ditional judge as well as more
clerks would be required, "and
there is no likelihood that Con-
gress will grant this help"
At the same time, an increased
jurisdictional limit would tend to
make the court become '1ess and
less a small claims tribunal
where the poor lftigant can come
in without benefit Of counsel and
have his claims determined sum-
and by simple procedure. {"
The subcommittee also agreed
that the proposal TO give any de-
fendant lawyer without charge
and to allow defendant the right
to set his own return date for a
suit against him would only "com-
plicate the present simple proce-
dure."
The judges questioned consti-
tutionality of a section which
would permit a judge to deter
mine whether a suing creditor
granted credit in "bad faith" and
to throw out a suit If such were
found. Different judges conclu-
sions on the bad faith" issue
would vary with each judge, the
report observed. adding, 1--WE must
get away from a personal brand
of justice.
The proposed amendment to
exempt certain defendants from
attachments should apply to Dis
trict Court as well as Small Claims
Court, the subcommittee said.
Members felt there is some
merit" in the bills proposal to fix
"a four-week time limit for apply
ing for judgment of condemnation
after garnishment has been filed.
