AMERICAN SWEDISH MUSE
In the southern part of Phila-
delphia, on ground which once was
owned by Swedish immigrants of
the 18th century, is situated
building which is unique in h e
United States. It is the American
Swedish Historical Museum. This
year the museum held a celebra-
ton on June 2 to commemorate
it founding. On that eventful day
of June rs years ago His Royal
Highness, Crown Prince Gustaf
Adolf of Sweden, laid the corner
stone of that building before a
distinguished gathering of Ameri-
cans and Swedes. Now the Crown
Prince has become King of Swed-
en- and the cornerstone is but
block in a functioning museum,
where visitors find displayed illus
trations of the culture the Swedish
people brought to this country and
the many examples of what they
have done in America. We f in d
in the museum examples of their
work in literature, music, art, in
dustry, invention in many lines of
endeavor, government and mill
tary life.
Through massive bronze doors
we step into a central Memorial
Hall, rising two stories to a
vaulted ceiling, covered by a mu-
raj painting depicting the landing
of the first Swedes in America in
1888. The two first rooms to the
left are devoted to temporary eX-
hibitions. At the present time we
have a delightful "Rorstrand"
exhibit, which has been admired
by several hundred visitors. The
next room is the Gold Map Room,
the walls there covered by map
of Sweden and its European ter
ritories in 1888. The .Tinicum room
compliments the map room by
telling the story of the Delaware
Pennsylvania settlements.
We move across the hall to a
room, which is to be built into a
permanent exhibition room to tell
the story of the almost epic 10th
and early goth century immigra-
ton. The next room, the Pioneer
Room, is probably one of the most
popular one in the museum. It
represents room in a Swedish
farm house in the province of
Dalecarlia with it's open corner
fireplace, typical "Mora-klocka,"
and painted ceiling decorations.
The Military Room is designed
to show the role played by Swedes
and American Swedes in Ameri-
cas- various wars. The John Han
son Room is the last of the rooms
on the first floor. 1t shows the
contributions that have been made
by Americans of Swedish birth or
descent to peace, government and
political science.
Upstairs, to the left of h e
main stairway, is one of two
rooms devoted exclusively to wom-
en-, the socalled Arts and Crafts
Room. The other one is the Fred
RIGA Bremen Room. The Jenny Lind
Room is devoted to music and
musicians in general. At present
we have on loan from Musikhis-
toriska museet Museum of Mu-

of their very valuable collection
of Jenny Indiana" among other

things, extremely interesting. The

Defense Chief Fears Public Will Expect Quick and Easy Victories
Committee Head Sees Lack of Pioneering on Atomic Weapons

proval on the Senator's con-
tention that atomic weapons
can play a great part if pio-
neered urgently and we'll.
In a recent Senate speech.
the chairman declared that a
proper and eventually possible
atomic weapons program would
result in an eventual defense
saving of $50 billions a year.
The Secretary of Defense then
felt it was necessary to knock
down any immediate optimism
about miracle weapons and
miracle savings resulting from
them.
The Secretary has now cau-
toned the press and public.
Senator Mcmahon in turn has
won unanimous committee ap-
proval of his demand for STEP
ping up the atomic weapons
program. The resolution, how
ever. will not be acted on by
Congress but go directly to Acc
and Defense. This is only be-
cause Congress is so close to
adjournment, according to Sen
ator Mcmahon. There Is little
doubt that Congress would fail
to approve. Any step that would
promise relief from present
staggering defense budgets
would have universal appeal.
At the cost of some public
confusion, the rivalry between
the military and the atomic
energy exponents is probably a
good thing. Members of Con-

because he believes he "can
conduct the only kind of cam

The Senator doesn't say that
only he can conduct that kind
of campaign, but that is the
clear implication. That's the
idea he would like to leave with
Republicans. hungering for the
offices so long held. by Demo-
Gratis. He promises them a cam
paign that will win. Landon
didn't win. Willkie didn't win,
Dewey didn't win. Ergo. they
didn't conduct the right kind of
campaign. And, by the same
token, some other Republicans
who are fooling with the idea
of seeking the nomination, say
Eisenhower or Warren or Stas-
sen, probably would not conduct
the right kind of campaign.
The great complaint, within
the party. against the three
losers named was that they con-
Quoted "me too" campaigns;
that they went too far in ad-
mitting the solid value OF many
things produced by the New

This takes in quite a lot of
territory and proposes the use of
public funds to find out what
anybody can find out by reading
the Ten Commandments. It will
come as a surprise to most men,
bers of Congress and to most
officials of the Federal Govern
ment, including the Judiciary,
that matters have come to such
a sad pass that a national COM
mission is needed to find out
what's wrong with persons who
hold Office in their own Govern
ment.
1t will come as a surprise, too,
to find four of the same five
Senators advocating a law re-
quiring all public officials and
legislators with salaries above
$4,000 a year to make public
annually their incomes, assets,
and all dealings in securities and
commodities"
This is a strange way to i'm
pugn the integrity of American
public officials who happen to
earn more than $4,000 a year.
The assumption that a person
with less than $4,000 a year
will not be tempted to do some
thing unethical by taking a gift
or fee but that the moment he
makes $4,000 he becomes
suspect will hardly seem logical.
