Back in 1880. postmaster Fran
sen, Nesbyen, Norway, started to
collect and sell used stamps, do
mating the proceeds to the Ma
,tional Association Against Tuber-
culosis. In 1943, when Mr.. Fran
sen retired from the Postal Serv-
ice, his stamp business, called
Tubfrim. was taken over by the
Anti-TB organization.
Millions upon millions Of used
stamps have been handled by Tub
firm since it started as a one-man
hobby. The firm now employs
eight women who wash and sort
the sizeable number of stamps
pouring in with each days mail
from every part of Norway.
Recently, ten of Oslo's leading
business enterprises put up in their
shops and offices eye-catching col
lection boxes where stamps may
be dropped to aid the fight against
T. B.
In former years the profits went
primarily toward helping poor chill
dren, threatened with T. B.. to get
to sanitoriums. Now, with more
money coming in, Tubfrim is also
retraining patients, who have re-
covered from T. B., for less siren
uous jobs. where they have bet

attack.

The 6-man Norwegian railway

several months has been studying
u. S. railway technique, as guests
of the ECA, returned recently TO

many other advantages.

rienoe in the u. s. may prove Of

talented and brilliant actress,

Councillor Laurence H. Banks
OF Ward Nine was seated in the
City Council last Monday, nearly
two years after his election to
that body.
Banks entered the Council
Chamber escosted by Councillor
Perlie Dyar Chase and Council
lor Milton Cook. On taking his
seat he was congratulated by Pre-
sident William F Hurley.
Sullivan, defeated in the 1949
election, was in his accustomed
seat when the council was first
called to order and Immediately
gained the floor to deliver a
lengthy TRADE against the late
Superior Court Judge J. Arthur
Baker whose ruling that Banks
was the winner of November
1949 election was upheld by the
Supreme Court.
Continuing the fight which mad
deprived Banks of his rightful
seat in the Council, Sullivan's
last ditch try was his plea tnat
the Council members recount the
ballots and render their own
decision. The council argued for
two hours in executive session
over the question of its right to
examine the disputed ballots ard
to reverse the ruling of the
courts.
Sullivan's final effort was main
ly supported by Councillor
James S. Coffey of East Boston,
Councillor Perlie Dyar Chase of
Back Bay called the petition a
ridiculous proposition" raised
the question that the disputed
ballots had been unguarded and
might have been tampered with
and concluded:
"We'll be held up to the scorr
of the public throughout tn
country if this puny little Bostor
City Council tries to overturl
the Supreme Court" +"
The Council rejected motion
that the city law department
outside and independa1t sttoa
neys or Atty Gen. Francis Z
Kelly be asked for opinions or
its right to hold a recount, tnen
passed the motion of Councilman
, Julius Ansel of Roxbury that the
petition be denied.
Councillor Coffey then intro
duced motion asking Mayor
Hynes to give Banks his 81
months back pay amounting tc
$4500, and the motion was ap-
proved. The Council laid on the
table a motion by Councillor
that Banks be reimbursed for his
legal expenses in connection

Councillor Banks said. The
people elected me their City
Councillor over 20 months ago.
Ever since, I have been fighting
persistently and continuously to
take my seat to represent the
people. It was a tremendous
load to carry. 1t was not light
ened when many of my wen
wishers urged me to give up and
accept an offer for very at
tractive lifetime position.
At that time, I was sure I
was right in refusing to sur
render. Now, all the people
will be sure I was right when /
am elected to serve the people
for a full two-year term in the
new City Council. For the first
time people all over the City
will be able to vote for me and
prove false the prophets who
said that this was the first time
a member Of our group would
serve in the City Council and
also THE LAST.
NY Joy in being seated, how
ever, is clouded by the vicious
and unwarranted attack in the
Council Chambers on the late
Judge j. Arthur Baker. I was
among the 3s Judges, Governor
Dever and many other high
/ state officials who paid their last
respects to the distinguished

courageous decision in this vital
case was upheld twice by our
Supreme Court and finally last
Monday by the Boston City

mains unblemished.

Harry Bridges Comes
To Boston Fri. March 9

Harry Bridges, militant West
Coast labor leader, will address
a public meeting in Butler Hall,
1895 fremont ST., on Friday eve
ming, March 8.
The meeting is part of a ma
tional campaign to win his Su-
preme Court appeal against a
conviction on perjury charges
and to prevent his deportation.
President of the international
Longshoremn's and Warehouse
mems Union, Bridges rose to
world prominence in 1884 when
he led the successful longshore
strike which won the six hour
day and union hiring hall. Since
then, ship-owner interests have
made repeated attempts to de-
port him and to deny him citi-
zenship.
Bridges won every previous
case, one of them a decision by
former Dean James M. Lands
of Harvard Law School and an
other a U. S. Supreme Court
decision written by the late JUS
tice Frank Murphy. Justice Muir
ply at that time described the
proven attempts to buy off

Bridges and said the Bridges
case would stand "as a monu-
ment to mans inhumanity to
man."
Following that decision, Harry
Bridges was finally granted citi-
zenship. Later, using some of
the same witnesses whose testi-
mony the Supreme Court re-
fused to believe, a West Coast
court convicted him of perjury
in obtaining citizenship.
The Boston meeting is under
the sponsorship of the Progress
siYe Party of Massachusetts,.
The Party'S Director, Walter A.
O'Brien, announced today that
Bridges would speak on the sub
ject "Labor'S Fight for Survival"
Bridges is being prosecuted"
said O'Brien, "for no other
reason than that he is the in
corruptible leader of a militant
union. In this day of Taft
Hartley and Big Business cam
paign to make super profits out
of the hides of the workers, the
fight in defense of Bridges is

Electro Coming
To Science Park

He's not from Mars, but he's
out of this world. He weighs 260
pounds, but never eats. Who is
it? Not the Fat Man, but Electro,
the robot.
Visiting Boston for the first
time, Ele ctro, the mechanical
man, and his equally mechanical
dog, Sparko will visit Science
Park for the opening of the new
East Wing Of the Museum of
Science.
AS special guest of the Mu-
scum, Electro will be on hand to
greet visitors during opening
week at Science Park. These ia
nous Westinghouse robots have
already thrilled thousand d S
througout the country.
Despite his 260 pounds of
polished metal and nine electric
motors buzzing around inside,
Electro walks, talks. or as a spe-
cial favor, identifies colors and
counts up to 10.
Electro will arrive in Boston
aboard his own private truck
with his manager operator. Al
though this m c h mic a ! man
comes as close as anything yet to
the real Mccoy, he nevertheless
doesn't eat a bite and never has
to worry about calories or indi-
gestion. However, he does need
a full 80 amperes of electric
juice while going through his
antics.
