STOCKHOLM A combined
wheel-and-track eXcavator capable
of travelling between work places
at a speed of II m.p.h. as against
a normal speed of / m.p.h. for con-
ventional types, is one of the in
ovations shortly to be launched
on the market by ALB Landsverk,
of Landskrona, Sweden's leading
manufacturers in this field. Last
years output of some $50 excava-
tors of various types is expected
shortly to be stepped up to 200
per annum, or nearly half of the
country's requirements of such
machines.
The track-and-wheel combina-
ton machine, named L-40H, for
which patents have been applied
for in a great many countries, is
not the only novelty on the COM
pany's production scheme. Besides
three conventional types having
struck measure dipper capacities
varying between 400 litres. and
$50 litres and weighing between

crowd and cable crowd, which is
patented in several countries.
All Landsverk excavators, which
are especially heavy and powerful

Sweden Brings Out
First Automobile With
Plastic Body

STOCKHOLM, June 1S-(By air.
maiD.
The first passenger car with a
plastic body built in Sweden has
just been turned out by the Volvo
Company in Gothenburg, veteran
Swedish makers of automobiles,
trucks and buses. The sleek, hand
some vehicle, known as the "Volvo
Sport" is a two-seater with an
easily removable plastic top, pow
cred by 20 HIP engine, and capa-
BILE of top speed of over 80 miles
an hour. The seats are equipped
with foam rubber cushions, and
covered with an attractive plastic
material. There is ample baggage
space in the rear.
The "Volvo Sport" latest prod
uct of Sweden's largest motor We
hicle manufacturers, is still in the
experimental stage, but toward the
end of 1854 the company expects
to have it on a mass production
basis. The bodies of the first cars
have been imported, in sections,
from the United States. In the fu-
ture, however, Volvo will turn out
all it's own plastic material at
brand new factory. recently ac-
quired.
The Volvo company was founded
in 1915, but it's origin as makers
of engines and motors dates back
to 1868. It's production, of which a
great part is exported, includes
agricultural tractors, automobile
engines and marine motors.

where such work has become
especially important in recent
years. The country's many under
ground power stations, rock ham
gars for the Navy and Air Force,
various shelters and industrial
premises make extensive rock ex-
cavation necessary.
In addition to its diversified line
of heavy construction and trans
port machinery, such as cranes,
conveyers, centrifuges etc, ALB
Landsverk has specialized in max
ing tanks. On the assembly line
at present is a tanklike auto
NATIVE infantry gun, model SO :
for the Swedish Army = which is
claimed to have no counterpart so
far in any army. However. the
company is at present negotiating
for the export of this vehicle.
Weighing only 8 tons and having
a track of unusually large with,
viz. 40 en-. the tank is extremely
mobile. Having a 155 HIP engine,
it takes gradients of 80 inclina-
ton, can cross trenches Is m wide
and has fording depth of 90 m
without special adaptation. It's
range of action (total cruising
range)) is 155 miles. The vehicle
is equipped with a novel quick
firing Bofors gun.

More Swedish Grain to West Germany
Available Under New Trade Agreement

STOCKHOLM-A trade agree
ment between Sweden and West
ern Germany covering the period
July 1, 1954-June 80, 1855 was
concluded in Bonn on June %. It
foreshadows considerably increas-
ed Swedish shipments of cereals
to Germany and higher quotas for
imports of German cars to Swe-
den.
In a communique the Swedish
Foreign Ministry announces that
in the field of Swedish agricul-
tural exports, which have been
the main issue of the negotiators,
possibilities have been opened for
deliveries of 100000 tons of grain,
including 100000 tons of wheat
and $4,000 tons of rye and fodder
grain, during the 12-month period.
Germany is to make efforts to
import the same quantities in flu
ture also. A quota of 10000, 900
D-Mark has been fixed for pork,
two-thirds of which are to be de-
livered during the second half of
this year.
AS regards Swedish exports of
industrial goods, especially large
quotas have been agreed upon for
paper and steel. Definite agree
ment on wallboard deliveries is to
be reached in the course of the
12-month period. AS to other
Swedish industrial products, which

This Rock
Of Ours

old mean teachers at school soon
found out about our lunchtime ac-
tivity and put a stop to it. How
ever, in those days, Key West was
wide-open. Any kid over twelve
years old could go into the gamb-
ling halls along Duval St. and get
into a Black Jack or Umbrella
game. kids under twelve didn't
frequent these places because they
couldn't reach over the top of the
gambling tableS.) These conditions
probably led to the formation of
the aforementioned poker games
at school.
1t must be puzzling to the young
er generation of today - just as it
was to us - to be denied the right
to gamble from a moral standpoint
and yet know that the State sane
tons it legally if you're over
twenty-one years of age and do
nate portion of the pot to the
same said State. The situation is
as idiotic as the States privilege
to tell young man that he is old
enough to fight and kill but still
too immature to cast a vote and
therefore determine under what
conditions he is going to do this
fighting and killing.
For that matter, what drastic
change distinguishes a twenty
year old youth from a twenty-one
year old so that the latter can
drink beer while the former has
to be content with sasparilla? The
mentally mature man of eighteen
can indulge in alcoholic beverages
when the same stuff is dynamite
to the man of forty with an adol-
escent or immature personality.
Don't ask me what the answer is
to these kind of problems. l guess

drawn and our civilization hasn't

.Bandleader's
Life Story Is
Based On Fact

"The Glenn Miller Story" Uni
verSal-International's Technicolor
production of the great bandlead-
er'S life-story opening Thursday at
the Strand Theatre, is one of most
factual biographies ever filmed.
Of the top q speaking roles in
the picture only three are fictional
pawn-shop operator, a girl
singer and an Army officer. Pro-
Queer Aaron Rosenberg, who gath
cred together almost all of the ac-
tual personalities who shared in
the 20 last years of Miller'S ca
reer, says:
eve used three fictional charac-
tiers only because we couldn't run
down the Identification of these
people. Actually, they do represent
real-life persons.
Those three were the pawn shop
owner where Miller actually hook
ed his trombone before getting his
first big chance with Ben Pollack's
band in 1925; a girl singer whose
lackadaisical style spoiled the pub
lie debut OF Miller's celebrated
Moonlight Serenade"; and the Of
ficer in the Army dispatcher's Of
flee at Orly Field, France, who
first revealed that Major Glenn
Miller was missing on that Inflated
military flight across the English
Channel in December, 1914.
James Stewart, the popular
choice of Miller fans for the title
role, plays Glenn Miller, with June
Allyson co-starring as his wife,
Helen. Charles Drake portrays Don
Haynes, Miller's manager, and
Henry Morgan acts the role Of
Chummy MacGregor, Miller's pia-
no-playing pal. The real-life Hay
mes assisted on the script and Mac
Gregor acted as technical. advisor.
Ben Polfack, the bandleader, Gene
Krupa, Louis Armstrong, Frances
Langford, The Archie Savage Dan

appearances in the picture as
themselves.

Tattoo Suggested
To Denote Any
Drug Allergy
BY ALTON L. BLAKESLEE

CLEVELAND Up Suppose
you're one of the many people
who becomes dangerously allergic
to penicillin or some other drug
And suppose you're hurt and
knocked unconscious. Could a doc.
tor unwittingly give you the drug
which is bad for you?
A little tattoo - put in a place
which even a bikini bathing suit

tai protection, a physician sug.
gests.
The tattoos, perhaps the size of
a penny, could be squares or tri-
angles or other symbols or letters
Of the alphabet, representing some
specific drug or condition. The
meaning of each symbol would be
known, by prior agreement, to all
doctors.
Identification cards in your wal
let or pocketbook, or dog tags
around your neck, could do the
same thing. But you might lose
the cards or forget to wear the
dog tags On the day of some dis
aster, or automobile accident.
The tattoo system could be a
more scientific way of carrying
your medical warning against a
drug or treatment which would
give you very bad reaction or
might even cause your death, said

50 Justly. The trouble Is that any
hope for a solution to these pro-
blems in the future must come
from our educators and we've
never been too particular about
giving these men and women pro-
per assistance with their work. AS
a matter of fact, we have a ten
dency to stymie their efforts by
doing out niggardly salaries and
Laughing at what we call their
ideahstic, impractical suggestions.
Incidentally, and aside from the
above meandering, the Masons are
sponsoring Public Schools Week at
this time in Key West. Gerald Adj
ans has explained the objective
as, "to acquaint all our people
with the programs and accomplish
ments of our public educational
system" We have reason to be
proud of the advancement and
growth of our schools here in Key
West. The folks responsible for
this improvement are still working
under terrific handicaps and are
faced with the immense task of
trying to take care of an ever
growing Sabotage population with
out having the necessary physical
equipment such as buildings, ETC.,
to do so properly.

better Key West might take the
time out to investigate our local
problems.

COURTESY is
KEY TO SAFETY
CONTINUED From Page Nine)

There is a type of traffic cour-
tesy which is not always covered
by law, and offenders of this type
of courtesy seldom, if ever, reach
the courtroom as the result of such
an affense. Yet they, too, can
cause accidents" Some examples
of courteous acts which legisia-
tion does not cover, are pausing to
let a car swing into your lane of
traffic from parking space, and
waiting at an intersection to allow
an if patient motorist to go ahead
even though you have the right of
way. "Such actions mean sharing
the road with others, and sharing
/ is courtesy" Mr.. DUPONT said.
Failure to give other drivers these
courtesies may contribute to
