WRU, the FEC said, is an un-

Only two radio stations in this
country have call letters beginning
with WRU-these are WRUA and
WRUL, both in Massachusetts, and
both sending Voice of America
broadcasts by contract with the

WRUA denotes Radio Univer-

WRUL is translated Radio Uni

|Guard's S D. {. Visitors
See PiIofIess Plane
Crash Onto Highway
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey
Star Staff Correspondent

u FORT MILES, Del. July 19.-
The crash Of a pilotless radio
controlled plane on the Ocean
highway furnished an unsched-
uled thrill to the party Of visiting
officials from Washington to the
District National Guard training
installations in this area.
The plane had been put through
all of its loops, climbs and strafing
runs. Then Brig. Gen. William H.
Abendooth, commander of the
District Guard, gave the order to-
call it in. The engine was shut of,
and the parachute broke out. but
lit failed to open.
The small plane plowed toward
the ground and landed in the CEN
ter of the roadbed of the high
way, within inches of a parked
automobile. Before it struck the
highway, it tore through series
Of telephone lines, cutting off
service between Rehoboth Beach
and Ocean City, as well as to all
the intermediate resorts along the
highway. Traffic was jammed on
the artery until a salvage crew
could get the wreckage out of the
way.
Weather Delays Plane.
The visitors were delayed on
arrival by weather. The plane
that brought them from Wash
ington was stacked over the Re-
hoboth Airport for more than an
hour, waiting for the ceiling to
rise. They were met by Gen. Aben-
droth and his staff at the airport
and then brought to this camp,
where they were serenaded by the
257th Army Band.
They ate troop chow in the gen.
erals mess and then were taken
through the headquarters Offices
and the troop quarters Of the
headquarters detachment. They
inspected the kitchens and the
messing arrangements. Before
leaving here for Bethany Beach,
they inspected the area of the
l104th Ordnance Maintenance
Company.
After stopping at the radio plan
area at Bethany Beach, they were
taken to the firing point Of the
90-millimeter guns Of the 340th
Anti-Aircraft Gun Battalion. But
the ceiling closed in again.
Fog Adds Delay.
When it cleared at Bethany
Beach. the planes were grounded
by fog at New Castle, Del, for
some time.
Included in the party were
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue,
Col. Thomas Hayes, Assistant En-
lgneer Commissioner; Walter Fow-
Ter. District Budget Officer; Mai.

tory the aborous struggle the ripe fufment of that
aspiration which makes Norway Center of the
truly great accomplishments in the Pacific Northwest
The task of porrayng the colorfu chapters of this epic
in the language of the adopted land has been rightly and
adequately done by number of those who played i'm
portant part it's making The story outlined in articles
this issue, and for the cooperation provided in this
presentation extend sincere thanks.
But Norway Center claim place in postery, and
speaking for the American generations which will
help preserve it, We might add little footnote.
This is of the most gratifying and heartening
compshments Scandinavian people has passed on
to succeeding generations in Amerca.-T. N.

Swedish School
Leader Is Dead

Joseph Weijne, who rose from
public school teacher to Minister
of Education and Church Affairs,
died in Stockholm recently at the
age of fifty-eight. 1t was primar-
lily thanks to his efforts that a
sweeping school reform was unani-
mously passed by the Riksdag in
June of last year. The new plan
calls for an increase of the COM
pulsory education period in Swed-
en- from eight years to nine as
well as for a unified elementary
and early secondary school sys-
tenn. Because of its great scope
and its many qualifications, the
new system is not expected to
be in operation for at least de-
cade.
He was also one of the leaders
of the Swedish temperance move
ment.

"In regard to training, I got
the impression that the Army Is
perhaps less closely in touch with
its British counterpart than are
the Navy and the Air Force. More
than one officer spoke to me of
their wish to go on attachment to
the British or United States Army.
A policy of extended attachments

good of both parties Our own off

Scandinavians
Discuss Korea,
United Nations

The Foreign Minister of Dem
mark, Iceland, Norway and Swed-
en-, at a recent meeting in Oslo,
discussed the continued support
of the Scandinavian countries of
the United Nations action in Korea
and their contributions to humani-
tartan work and reconstruction.
They agreed that the Scandinavian
countries should offer all possible
support to the efforts to achieve
a peaceful settlement of the con-
flict.
The Foreign Ministers also
called for the highest possible
degree of economy in the activi-
ties of the United Nations and its
special organizations. They de-
cided to assign budget specialists
to prepare concrete proposals for
cutting U. N. operation costs. At
an earlier meeting, in Reykjavik.
Iceland, from August 81 to Sep
TENDER l last year, the Foreign
Ministers discussed the question
of joint Scandinavian action in
the General Assembly for the pur-
pose of speeding up the efforts to
coordinate and streamline the
work of the United Nations. This
would mean the avoidance of over
tapping work and a more effective
use of the means available for
International collaboration in vari-
Gus fields. 1t was decided that the
delegations should together try to
further this matter in the Gen.
eral Assembly.

"In brief, the air plan is to

the utmost speed. No more hang

Relations between the Swedish

just as cordial as those between

Field Army of 100000 Men,

Lastly, I met the Army. . .
The individual conscript is well
trained. Conscripts from North
and Central Sweden have an ad-
vantage in that 100 per cent of
them have learned to ski before
they join. I watched both artillery
and infantry exercises in deep,
soft snow. The rapid and
noiseless passing of these white
clad ski-troops was most impress
sive. Everything else-guns, ma
chine guns, wireless sets, mortars,
casualties-went across country
on sleds. :.
"On mobilization, conscripts un-
der training (about 10000 in
Army and 10000 in Air Force and
Navy would not take the field.
Instead, about 100000 reservists
would be called up to form the
Troops of the Line or Field Ar
my; about $4,000 more could be
called up for Local Defense
Forces and Reserve. Every one of
these reservists is already ear
marked for his precise job. In
order that they may learn these
jobs, 100000 are now being
called up annually. Every man has
to do three such monthly periods
of repetition. In this manner the
Army is tackling with great thor
oughness the very difficult prob
lem of combining extremely short
conscript service with rapid mo-
biliZation."

Lieutenant General H. G. Mar
tin, London Daily Telegraph mill
itary correspondent, recently spent
a fortnight with Sweden's armed
forces, and in an article for his
paper entitled How Sweden Re-
arms Against the Threat from the
East" he reported in part:
AT Karlskrona I went aboard
the Uppland, one of the Nays
two 1,900ton postwar destroyers.
These destroyers and the two g.
000-ton cruisers, the Ire Kronor
and the Gotta Lejon, are the Nays
most modern ships. In addi-
ton, the Navy has three old
pocket battleships,' still useful for
coastal defense, two smaller CRUZ
sers, 13 fleet destroyers, Is M. T.
BIS and "a submarines. In view
of the conditions likely to prevail
in the narrow waters of the Bal
tic in another war, no more cruiS
sers are planned. Two 2,40O-ton
international Class destroyers are
building, as are also II M. TBS
and three submarines.
"In the Swedish Navy the feel
ing of comradeship with the Brit
ish Navy is strong. Everywhere I
heard acknowledgements of the
debt the Swedish Navy owes to
our Navy for radar and other tech
meal equipment. Today, of course,
radar is indispensable to all three
Services, for early warning, or
navigation, or gun control. Swe-
den, however, lacks a developed
electronic industry. :"
Swedish Air Force Object Lesson
In Manpower Saving"
General Nordenskiold is the
creator of the Swedish Air Force,
of which he has been Commander
in-Chief for eight years. He has
made it the second in Western
Europe, with a peacetime strength
of about 800 first-line aircraft
He has made the Swedish Air
Force an object lesson in manpow-
er saving. Sweden is a country of
Z million people, where everyone
is employed. Swedish manpower
is precious. The Russian Air
Force employs nearly three times
as many men per first-line aircraft
as does the Swedish; the Canadian
Air Force employs nearly three
and-a-half times as many; the
United States Air Force five times
as many; the French and British
more than six times. True, Swe-
dish Service aircraft are mostly
single-engined. Nonetheless it is
an astonishing comparison; and
the R. A. F., I understand, is to
send over party to find out how
the Swedes do it.
