Valtyrsons Presented
Authentic Norwegian
Dance At Roof Garden

In compiling the wonderful pro-
gram prepared by Fred Bockman
for the Pioneer Roof Garden in
our last issue one very outstanding
number was left out because we
were trying to get more informa-
ton about it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Veto Valtyrson
presented an authentic Norwegian
dance, ''Reannlender," with per-
lection and poise that was enjoyed
by all, especially since Mrs. Val
tyrson wore the traditional Nor
wegian costume.
A song in Norwegian, prepared
especially for the Roof Garden,
told about the nice fresh, brisk
air, the strong, sharp north wind,
and the people who do not COM
plain but are smiling and full of
gladness at the big social event.
Sung by Mrs. Valtyrson, it brought
a hearty response from the audi
ence, although they did not know
she was singing nice things about
them.
Nome looks forward to more
music and dancing from the Val
tyrson family.

Twice Convicted OF Crime
WASHINGTON, Up - The SUI
preme Court agreed Monday to rule
whether Filipinos who came to the
United States while their country
was an American possession can
be classed as deportable aliens if
twice convicted of serious mis-
deeds.
Specifically, the tribunal will
review government efforts to de-
port Pedro Gonzales from Seattle
to the now-independent Philip
pines.
The Justice Department ap-
pealed to the high tribunal to re-
view and overturn a decision by
the us. circuit court in San Fran
cisco that Gonzales was not de-
portable under the 1917 Immigra-
ton Act. Gonzales, native Of the
Philippines, came to this country
in 1880.
In 1851 the government ordered
him deported as an alien who af-
ter entry had been sentenced twice
for crimes involving moral turpi-
tude. In 1941 he had been con-
victed Of burglary and served two
years.
