Before their departure from
Ornk0ldsvik, in northern Sweden,
they were feted by hundreds at
q program arranged by a church,
and were cheered on by a crowd
of about 500 well-wishers at the
railroad station. Mr.. and Mrs. Teg-
man courageously left a way of
life they had stood by for "a and
81 years respectively.
Not HOmesick Yet
Here in Seattle we'll wishers
have not been lacking, either. In
troduced to a church congregation
and aided by relatives and friends,
four members of the family have
already found work. The fifth, 49,
year-old Margaret, is expected to
find employment at the S w d sh
Hospital, where her brother, Cam
mar, is now working. Mr.. Tegman
is employed in construction work,
along with a son, Thorsten. His
Oldest son, Joseph, landed a job
as janitor at the University of
Washington. Residing at 1857 w.
10th St., the family has now set
tied down to what appears to be
a reasonably good state of affairs,
considering their adventuresome
plight of starting life anew. No
one in the family could speak or
understand English when they ar
rived, but the kids are picking up
the language quickly. None of
them are "homesick" as vet. The
family is doing well and is quite
happy.
F n n C i a ly well-off Sweden
cared for this large family as
well as it could in accordance with
Its liberal social welfare measures.
The Tegmans were getting IS
crowns per quarter for each child
under Is years Of age, about 1000
crowns annually in fuel and rent
allowances, as we'll as sizeable tax
reductions. In addition, the well
fare state had paid for half of
the construction cost of their large
home in Ornskoldsvik Still, Teg-
man found it difficult to m e
financial Roadway, not in t n e
least because he had to feed four
minor members of his family on
his 1851 wage of $500 crowns,
minus 800 crowns in taxes. The
wages of his working children
were not comforting, either, it
seems.
They wouldn't have been able
to get along very well, If they
hadn't lived at home," Mr.. Teg-
man says, adding that ''the fuel
and rent allowances saved u.s."
Embassy Officials Surprised
Aided legally by Seattle rela-
tives, Mr.. and Mrs. Hedge Kris
from, 4531 S. 18th ST.. and others
in Hoquiam, and assured by an
other large Ornsk0ldsvik family
that had immigrated to this coun-
try that America was all right
the regmans resolved to make the
trip in January of this year. Their
relatives in Sweden were against
1t, but many of their friends
thought it was a good idea.
Officials at the American En-
bassy in Stockholm couldn't help
but be surprised at the size of the
venturesome family and undoubt-
eddy will not process one as large
for immigration for q long time
to come. Since World War IL,
Swedish immigration to America
has not been so large, by COMPARE
Son. as that from the other Nordic
countries.

Ike To Take Personal Charge of His Bid For Convention Nomination
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

While one of Gen. Dwight D. EiSenhower's aides said "the jig is up" for Senator Taft, another reported Thursday Eisenhower will go to the Republican conven- ton to direct his campaign for presidential nomination.
 The Jig is up'' quote came from EisenhoWer's campaign manager, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, IT,, of Massachusetts, who flew to Den yer for conference with the re- tired five-star general.
 It was quickly attacked by Taft's campaign manager, David Ingalls, who said bluntly: "It just isn't so."
 The report that Eisenhower has decided to take on-the-spot charge of his bid at the July ' COP con- vention came from a source in his headquarters.
 The AP tabulation of pre-con- vention delegate strength, with all 1,206 COP delegates named, now shows Taft has the support of 483 to Eisenhower 405. Others have total of 129 and there are 189 in dispute or uncommitted.
 Taft says he already has the majority required for nomination - GOA votes - and Lodge says Eisenhower will get more than 500 on the first ballot at Chicago.
 As the COP convention neared it opens a week from Monday and Taft and Eisenhower stepped up their fight, some minds were being changed among the state delegations.

 For Korean Raids

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of State Acheson is going to have to do some explaining to Congress about his reported apology to Britain for not telling that coun- try in advance of the American bombing of North Korean power stations.
 Sen. Knowland R-Calif), who brought the matter to the Sen- ate's attention by reading Lon don news report about it, de- manded that a full text of Ache sons remarks be made available to Congress.
 The London account said Ache son reportedly made the apology to about 200 members represent ing both houses of parliament during a 20 minute meeting Thursday.
 Acheson was reported to have told them American officials had intended to notify the British de- fense minister, Field Marshal Lord Alexander, and Selwayn Lloyd, British minister of state for foreign affairs, who arrived in Washington last Saturday.
 But, he is reported to have ex- plained, due to a mixup over whether a State or Defense de- partment official was to make the notification. neither was informed.

First Cars Reach Fairbanks Over Hart Highway

FAIRBANKS, (P) - The first travellers to reach Alaska via the Hart Highway arrived here Thurs day and pronounced the road shorter but muddy and rough"
 The travellers reported the wooden bridge acros the Parsnip River in British Columbia, which had been the missing link in the route, was completed on Sunday, June p and a 35 = car convoy crossed at 5:30 pm.
 Some of the drivers had been camping on te highway as long as three days waiting for the bridge to be completed. Contractors re- fused to let them use the ferry >at the site.
 The drivers cautioned motorists not to try the highway since con- tractors closed it after the 35-car convoy passed through. No cars will be allowed on the highway until the official opening date on July 1. Contractors do not want traffic interfering with the con- struction crews, drivers said.
 The 265-mile long Hart High way links Prince George and Dawson Creek in British Colum- bia and provides the first direct route from the Pacific Coast to Alaska.
 When the highway is open for general travel, motorists will be able to journey from Vancouver to Dawson Creek where they will swing into the Alaska Highway. At present, they must go east to Edmonton, Alberta. The Hart cuts almost 1000 miles off the trip from the Pacific Coast to Alaska.

Congress Hears of Union Dispute In Alaska Coal Mine

WASHINGTON, (P0 - Union efforts to organize an Alaska strip mine are threatening the winter fuel supply of two air bases there, Rep. Poulson R-Calif, declared Friday.
 In a statement to the House, Poulson said gasoline and oil have been burned, a mine power house destroyed and a truck de molished at operation of the Usi- belli Coal Company.
 That firm, he said, has a con- tract to supply 2O8,OOO tons of coal to the Ladd and Eielson Air Force bases. Already, he said, the firm has lost more than S100,000 from blocked coal deliveries.
 The company, as a strip opera ton, employs men who are mem bers of AFL construction unions, PoulSOn said. They have voted 25 to l against joining the United Mine Workers Union.
 PoulSon charged that UNIV members from two other mines, the Healy River Coal Co. and the Evan Jones Coal mine, have de- fled a court injunction and ig- nored US. marShaPS efforts to halt violence in their organizing efforts.
 POulsOn said no other source of coal is available to the Air Force in Alaska, and shipments from the United States would cost prohib- itively The bases cannot be con- verted in time for use of any other kind of fuel.
 In this case, Poulson declared, Union mobsters have defied the United States, destroyed property, ignored court orders, and menaced the operations of vital air defense bases"

LIN. Prepared to Stake Flesh and Treasure" Against Aggression: Clark

TOKYO, (P)-Gen. Mark Clark said Friday it is impossible to predict what will happen in Ko- req, but he is confident the se- curity of the free world will be upheld"
 "We have asserted unmistakab- ly to the Communists that we are prepared to stake flesh and trea- sure on stopping aggression" the United Nations commander said.
 Clark departed from his pre- pared address to the. Japan-Am- erican Society to say the bomb ing of North Korean hydro-electric plants was "a military decision only" and represented mo change of policy"
 The Allies, he said, have pushed the Communists tout of territory which they coveted to have con- venient bases for pressure against Japan"
 The Reds have been offered reasonable peace terms Clark said but they have replied with Gin vective, falsehoods and bombast" which they "seem to think con- ceals their reluctance to join in the peace they so shrilly claim to be cherished by themselves alone"

End of Price Controls
 In Balance as Lawmakers Meet Behind Closed Doors

WASHINGTON, P-Adminis- tration forces threw all their strength Friday behind a last-gasp effort to keep prices and wages under government control.
 A committee of senators and House members was called into session behind closed doors to draft a final controls bill after the House voted, 211 to 1855, to:
 Wipe out just about all price controls at midnight next Monday.
 End rent controls in a great many communities starting Sept. 30.
 Time was short. Unless the con- ferees agree on controls legisla- ton acceptable to both the Senate and House, and unless both houses pass the final bill, all controls ex- pire Monday midnight. They may expire then anyway. President Truman may not sign the bill Congress sends him.
 The House bill, while ending price and rent controls, would keep most wage ceilings in force.
 It differs greatly from the Sen ate's bill, which would keep price and wage controls - as well as rent controls-in existence.

Lundebergg Rejects Releasing of Any
 Alaska SS Vessels

SEATTLE, (P)-While rejecting two pleas from Alaska's governor for release of Alaska Steamship Co. ships for emergency trips, the Sailors Union of Pacific told him Thursday he was misinformed about shipping available for the territory.
 Harry Lundeberg, the unions leader, wired Gov. Gruening:
 "It appears you have not re- ceived the correct information. The SS Seafair is not chartered by the Army. She is taking army cargo to Seward and Naknek. There is still approximately 5000 tons of space available on the ship"
 eve are not going to release any Alaska Steamship Co. ships," Lundeberg's telegram repeated. "We feel we are not getting square deal on this, considering the amount we have released and are releasing to Alaska"
 In another development, the Post Intelligencer reported there is a growing prospect of a con- ference next week of some mari time union leaders with Seattle civic and business leaders There has been no announcement of it from the office of the mayor or the Alaska Lifeline Committee. Four maritime unions which are hostile to the striking AFL Sail ors' Union have called on the mayor to summon such a confer ence.
 Meanwhile, Seattle officials of Coastwise Lines said they would give top priority to Nome cargo on the Seafair. The more Nome cargo is received, they said, the less freight they will take for Seward and the less time the Sea- fair will spend unloading enroute to Nome.
 The Seafair will dock in Seattle July 4 and is expected to reach Nome in late July.
