Price Discussions

OSLO. - Representatives of 5
national organizations met this
week with Prime Minister Oscar
Torp to discuss ways and means
of reducing prices. The conference
was called by Mr.. Torp, follow
ing a Parliament discussion of the
high cost of living.
Answering a query from Labor
tie representative Olaf Watne-
bryn, the Prime Minister said the
Government was making a COM
prehensive study of the whole
price situation, but could offer no
panacea. What is needed now, he
said, is cooperation in all quart
ers to counteract the price rise.
In his statement to Parliament,
the Prime Minister observed that
although Norway at the present
time has full employment and a
high standard of living, the ma
tional economy is subject to heavy
strains, principally because of the
high rate of investments In the
present situation, that means a
dangerous pressure on prices, he
said.
Mr.. Torp said the Government
agrees with the Federation of La
Dor that it is better to reduce pric-
es than to gain new wage in
creases. And he added 1--WE must
all be willing to sacrifice special
interests and place chief emphasis
on a common policy to overcome
our difficulties. In that spirit the
Government invites the coopera-
ton of all parties in Parliament
and all national OF CARNATIONS"

For Expanding
U.N. Technical Aid

konrad Nordahl, Norwegian del
egate to the United Nations. last
week told the General Assembly's
Economic Committee that his
Government Is considering a pro-
posal to quadrurle Norway's con-
tribution to the u. N. Technical
Assistance Program. If approved
by Parliament, the present con-
tlibution of some 100000 would
be increased to about S420000.
Pointing out that Norway's popu-
lation is only slightly more than
million, Mr.. Nordahl suggested
that comparable contributions by
other countries would lift the fin
ancial resources of the Technical
Aid Program Tar above its present
level, thus facilitating a substan-
tial expansion Of the activities
carried on by The U. N. agency.
The Norwegian delegate urged
increased publicity and better
public relations work in every
country as means of securing
the necessary support for the eX-
banded u. N. aid program. He OBJ
served that publicity had proved
very valuable in obtaining popular
and Parliamentary support for
Norway's own technical aid prof.
ect in the state of Travancore-
Cochin, for which Parliament has
so far voted close to S15 million
a year. 1T should not be over
looked" Mr.. Nordahl declared
that the tax PAYERS have to be
convinced OF the usefulness of
their contributions"

STOCKHOLM, (By airmaiD

STOCKHOLM, (By airmaiD -
After ten years as chief of the
c ty Planning Office Of Stockholm,
Sven Markelius is due to retire
soon upon reaching the age of So.
One of SWeden's best-knoWn archi-
tects. Mr.. Markelius was one of
the chief designers of the United
N 10 n headquarters in N e w
York, and he has repeatedly been
a visiting professor at Yale Uni
sity. He has not yet decided whe-
Their to return to his private career
as an architect in Sweden or accept
an offer from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology in Boston.
The past ten years have been
a period of unparalleled expansion
in Stockholm. When Mr.. Markelius
assumed his pos t, the housing
shortage was so pressing that i'm
mediate and drastic measures had
to be taken. At the same time
his office was charged with draw
ing up a master plan for Greater
Stockholm, as we'll as a revised
plan for the downtown section.
The housing problem still is far
from solved but Mr.. Markelius
and his staff have planned new
suburbs for about $4,000 annually.
The three most important de-
velopments are the suburbs of
Vallingby, Hogdalen and Farsta,
which will be completed within
four or five years and accommod
ate a total of about $50, 900 pers-
ons. They are all located relatively
far from Stockholm, but they are
not, Mr.. Markelius points out,
to be regarded as satellite towns, y
which have to be situated farther
away and have a more independent
economic life The three new sub
urbs, however, have been given
considerable size so as to supply
a natural basis for community
centers which can offer the service
and the shoppings and entertain
ment facilities forme rl y found
only in the city proper \ rela-
lively large part of the population,
therefore, will not only live but
also work in the suburbs. In de-
signing the new sections. the city
planners have tried to meet both
practical requirements n d the
aesthetic demands dictated by the
modern feeling for form. One thing
they have not been able to supply
is the charm of tradition. For
that, Mr. Markelius says. Valling-
by and the other suburbs will have
to wait another fifty years.
