smaller plants, inspectors make
periodic visits. They recommend
security measures, check on the
quality of the work being done
and see that the standards of the
armed forces are being met.
Handy Arrangement
l HEY can be fairly arbitrary
sometimes, but it pays off. An Air
Force officer told me of the case of
a consultant who had been cleared
for access to blueprints. When the
inspector called at his office to
check on where the material was
stored, he found that the consul
tant was keeping it in a safe with
a combination lock, as regulations
required. But the combination and
the safe were shared with two
attorneys who occupied the same
office but had no connection with
the Air Force. The consultant was
directed to take his plans out of
there Immediately!
Most private contractors are
alert to the need for security.
They even ask the services to help
them improve it. Such measures
are not only a patriotic duty; they
are vital for self-preservation.
Cases of non-co-operation are
very isolated. Air Force officers
told me of one contractor who
agreed to their regulations but
put off enforcing them. He said,
privately, that it was "all hooey."

carelessness or mere ill-will. For

plant that pressure gauges on
seven oxygen-nitrogen tanks had
been broken open within u hours.
Sabotage? The security man
thought not. First, anybody -
even the least skilled laborer -
could see the damage clearly;
there was nothing hidden or in

not hurt the planes in any way;
it could only delay take off till I'M

the security director told me. But
once appeared on the scene and

stopped breaking the gauges. Why
had he done it? Well, maybe he
was sore at his boss. Or maybe his
girl friend gave him the gate"

by carelessness than sabotage. A

We heard a lot about this man.

we went there one day, assisted
by Ivar Nelson of Everett, and
everything looked pretty much ac-
cording to description, at first.
Yes, he is what may be called
a mystic. for Percy Richards has
now bundled up all his extraordin-
airy inclinations into one last pur-
suit, the inner life, the inner sane
tums of heavenly peace on earth.
and in so doing he has virtually

of self denial, or so it seems.

turnabout: back, as it were, to

Let's recapitulate to make sure.
Percy Richards was born of an
English father, a lawyer, and a
Swedish mother in London July 4,
1880. His father died, his mother
took him to Sweden to stay as a
small boy. He attended the finest
schools, became an officer in the
Swedish army. He was a born
singer, performer. and soon made
his concert debut, of which the
crabby critic Wilhelm Peterson
Berger said thus: clearing his
singing lone feels transport ed

Norway Supports
Big Production
Boost In Europe

In an address over the Norwe-
gian Broadcasting System, for
eign minister Harvard M. LANCE
pledged Norway's wholehearted
support in carrying out the pro-
posal for increasing European
production by $3.50 during the next
five years, recently adopted by
the Ministers Committee of the
Organization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation lOEEC).
Mr.. LANCE stated: The Norwe-
gian Government fully supports
the OEEC plan for increased pro-
duction, because the plan is in
agreement with the policies for eX-
pansion of our own economy, and
because it calls for solution of the
main economic problems today
confronting western Europe and
the free world. We pass a mile
post by adopting a plan which
gives up hope that. despite the
heavy burdens of rearmament. we
may look ahead to brighter Geo.
nomic future"
The cooperation between the
United States and the OEEC
member nations is decisive, not
only for the solution of the secur-
ity problems of the North Atlantic
nations, but also for the solution
of our economic problems.

in the wake of last springs farm
strike. Though agriculture was
granted price increases totaling 6
million kroner to compensate for

nevertheless, challenged the Gov

The 3-man Oslo Court ruled that
reservations made by the Govern

agreement were intended to main
tain, not a formal, but a real bal

respective economic groups in
Norway. This balance was upset
in favor of the farmers, the Court

whatsoever on that part of their
produce consumed by themselves
