 African Bases. Brings Shakeup

WASHINGTON, (P-Congres- sional charges of fraud, waste and inefficiency in building multi million-dollar airbases in North Africa brought a drastic shake up Saturday of Army engineers who handled the job.

 Chairman Lyndon B. Johnson O-Tex) of the Senate Prepared ness subcommittee, which h as been Investigating the African project for months, announced the PentagGn orders after receiving a letter from Pace outlining them.
 "This is warning to this group of builders and all other govern ment contractors in this nation," the Senator said. "We don't in- tend to tolerate incompetence on contracts if it involves a sack of coffee or a million dollars"

Reverend Joseph D. Broman,
Superintendent of the Swedish Ma
tional Sanatorium, Englewood,
Colorago, stopped over in Seattle
on Wednesday and Thursday, April
16 and II, on a tour of the Pacif-
ic Northwest. While here he met
with officers and members of the
Seattle Foundation at Hallbergs
Cafe on Wednesday evening to dis
cuss with them the Importance of
the MayfloWer campaign this year.
His talk gave many reasons and
cases where free care was needed
and provided by the Sanatorium
for patients from all parts of the
u. S. He told of the various kinds
of tuberculosis and combinations
with other diseases and explained
how difficult some of them were
to diagnose and treat. 1t seems
hard to believe but never the less,
is true that as much as 81 900 has
been expended on one patient in
one year for free care. OF course
this is an exception and was a
case that needed many special doc.
tors and operations but gives us ar
idea that the Sanatorium is only
concerned with the curing of its
patients and will go all out tC
achieve this purpose.
The Sanatorium is now con
structing an addition to its May
flower Building at a cost of abou
100000 which will enable then

neighbors, too. One of his dogs
killed some nearby chickens, and
his coyote escaped one day and
was seen in downtown Seattle, but
never returned.
So Sven decided to move all his
animals out to his farm, 16 miles
from Seattle on the Tacoma High
way, where he put on his Hager-
strom Educational Wild Animal
Show. Only five monkeys are left
now. Jack Larsen, 75-year-old
Dane, lives out there, too.
Born in Sweden
Sven's love of animals dates
back to his earliest school days in
Laholm, Sweden, where he was
born in 1908. A jazz-musician in
Sweden, he arrived in the United
States in 1920, came to Seattle to
work for his uncle Joseph Erick-
son, owner of Erickson Paving Co.
After a few years in Alaska, he
settled down in Seattle in 1887,
marrying Frances Salo, born of
Finnish parents in Minnesota. He
is now master mechanic and SUI
perintendent of N. Fiorito Co.
Quiet-mannered and soft-spoken,
Sven is like a different person
when he gets into a cage full of
animals. They have an innate
respect for him.
Former Circus Performer
Having put on performances
with animals for carnivals and
circuses during nine-year period
in the Seattle area, Sven might
feel like reconsidering the $780,
a-week offer he got from circus
some time ago, or reviving his wild
animal show.
But as always, the government
has a way of deciding some things
and in Sven's case it looks like his
wife is the government.
But just for old-times sake wee
like to see another lion in the
Hagerstrom household.

Seattle MayfIower Sale Launched
For Swedish National Sanatorium

to care for sixteen more patients
and also provide a new operating
room and X-ray unit plus other
needed facilities. When the orig
inal MayflOWer Building was built
the funds were provided entirely
by the sale of the little Mayflower
(Majbloman). The object then as
explained by Rev Broman is to
spark and push the sale of the
Flowers this year to provide
enough money to meet all the OBJ
legations of the financing of the
new addition.
The Rev. Broman while in the
city contacted as many of the pas
tors as possible and also some well
known business men in a special
appeal to get pledges for the cost
of equipping this new building,
The Seattle Foundation is as u.s.

Morse Making
Sausage Skin
From SeoWeed

AS Protan, Norway's largest
professor of alginates, reports that
a new type of sausage casing,
made from Norwegian seaweed,
shortly will appear on the world
market. In contrast to the cello
phane skin now used for sausages,
the alginate type is edible and 20
times lighter in weight.
The manufacturing process is
patented in Germany. The raw
material however, will be 1000
Norwegian. This coming summer
AS Protan will have about 900
workers collecting seaweed along
the Norwegian coast.
Norway's alginate industry has
lately developed a number of eX-
cellent products which are used ex-
tensively in textiles, plastics, cos
metics, films, paints, ice cream and
lam. Used as a stabilizer, algin
acid makes better and safer ice
cream and in much shorter time
than gelatin. Serving the same
purpose as pectin in jam making
algin acide requires two-thirds less
sugar to achieve the desirable con-
sistence.

I never knew b 4 what differ
ence there was between democrats
& republicans. 1 only thought
that / was in while the other was
out. But now 1 know better,
thanks 2 the T. V. set. They had
a discussion the other night be-
tween 2 democrats and 2 republi-
cans with 1 priest acting as ref
cree.
The republicans opened the bout
(no holds barred). 1t wah some
thing like a team wrestling bout
U at the Eagles Auditorium or
on the T. V. When 1 wrestler gets
in a tough spot, his team mate
comes in & takes over.
Poor Truman took an awful
beating. He was butted, flying
tackled, airplane spinned & flat
tened out until the Lone Eagle re-
publican was all popped out & his
team mate, the Republican Angel,
stepped in & meted out Z. and
double Nelson's, headlocks, body
scissors & a flying mare.
The 2 democrats, The Stranger
& The Masked Marvel mauled poor
Taft, & when they got through
with him, his own mother didn't
recognize him any more.
The referee never got down on
his knees 2 see whether Trumans
or Taft's shoulders were both
down on the mat. He took it z &
when the bout was over, he hand
ed out his decision, which was a
draw.
The Lone Eagle and The Angel
both claimed that Truman was no
good & had lost the war in Korea.
The Stranger and The Marvel, on
the contrary, claimed that Tru-
man was o. K. & had won the war
& even averted a Bird world war.
There is the difference between
the 2 parties. If U believe that we
lost the war in Korea, U repub-
lican. If U say. that we were saw

Macarthur was told go 2 the Of
flee & get his money, then U r g

Can't Forget Toby
Nevertheless, Sven is dreaming
and scheming, and his wish may
come true. In spite of what hap
pened to him in the past, when
Toby, now II years of age, grew
up in his home and was as much
a part of the family as their now
13-year-old son Gerald, who used
to ride on Toby's back and play
hide-and-go-seek with her.
Why Can't They Leave us Alone ?!
Those were the good old days,
a few years ago. when everyone in
the neighborhood was raising a
huuabaloo over the monstrous'
Hagerstrom pet, when police drop
ped in regularly and newspaper
men got nosy and hung around the
house at 335 Serpentine Drive.
Toby was too much for civilized
nerves. When she roared at night
she was apt to wake up the neigh
borhood. When she rode in Sven's
car around town and stuck her
head out the window the police
would invariably get a number of
calls. So this started to get on
the Hagerstrom households nerves
too.
Cant understand it," muttered
Sven, why can't they leave us
alone.'
Mrs. Hagerstrom bit her fling
ernails. Gerald, fearful of losing
her, clutched Toby's neck. The
lioness just licked his face and
growled appreciatively. She was
growing bigger and tougher by
leaps and bounds.
Delights OnlOOkers Behind Bars
With civilization threatened, the
ed by neighbors voiced their trials
and tribulations in court. Sven
who had no time for such non
sense, stayed away, got the judges
behind bars in a safe place. His
heart humping it's lowest down
beat. Sven had to imprison her at
the Woodland Park zoo. But he
kept visiting her, put on little
shows for thrilled onlookers, and
so it continued during the ensuing
ten years.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
OF THE UNITED

STATES - On April 5, President
Harry S. Truman spoke over the
National Broadcasting networks,
the following message in connec-
ton with the transmission from
Denmark, of the Hans Christian
Anderson birthday program;
The people of the United States
send their warm greetings to the
people of Denmark and to the town
of Odense on the anniversary OF
the birth of their famous son,
Hans Christian Andersen.
For more than a century, the
great author and poet has captiv-
ated the imagination of peoples
living far beyond the boundaries OF
his native Denmark. In our coun-
try, generations of Americans -
both young and old - have read
and loved his wonderful fairy tales
so that today they have become
part of our cultural heritage. The
stories of Hans Christian Anderson
will always transcend national
frontiers and deeply touch the
hearts of readers everywhere. We
welcome this opportunity to salute
his genius"
