Midget Radiation
Defector

OSLO. - Physicist Gotfred Bar
stad. of the Norwegian Defense
Research Institute, has designed
an amazingly simple and inexpen-
sive, pocket-size radiation warning
device. Patented in a number of
countries, "Blunk" looks like an
ordinary flat. rectangular ciga-
rette case. Nevertheless, it will
give effective warning against
dangerous radiation. Any civilian
with "Blunk" in his coatpocket
will know when to run for cover
just by looking at it.
"Blunk" literally Blink is
equipped with two tiny tails"
composed of minute metal plates.
One blinks green and the other
red. Should the radioactivity of
the air rise to Us of one Roentgen
per hour, the green tail will start
wagging at the rate of one stroke
per hour At that point the radia-
ton hazard is insignificant. If
the radioactivity goes up to, say,
10 Roentgens per hour, the green
tail will make about one wag per
second, and at the same time, the
red one will also begin to move.
Then, it is high time to seek cover
at once.

$4,000 Autos
In Sweden

The number of passenger cars
in Sweden increased in 1855 about
100000 which is the highest pro-
portion outside the United States
and Canada. Last year 1855
new cars were registered, accord
ing to preliminary figures. This
was about 5000 less than during
the record year of 1854, but a
larger decrease had actually been
expected, since a special purchase
tax on automobiles was introduced
early in 1865 in order to slow
down the expansion. The most
popular car last year was the
German Volkswagen, followed by
the Swedish Volvo and the various
makes of General Motors and
Ford. Automobile thefts last year
increased at disturbing rate. In
Stockholm, 5000 cars We're stolen.
or three times as many as in 1854,
and for the country as a whole the
number was $4,000, against 5000
the year before. Many newspapers
are now demanding sharper pun
ishment. At present, there is no
term in Swedish law for car theft,
the nearest equivalent being ''un-
authorized borrowing" and most of
those who borrow a car - as a
rule youngsters of 1920 years =
get away with suspended sem
tence.

OSLO. - A Scandinavian Air
liner. chartered by ICEM, the
European Emigration Committee,
arrived in Oslo last week with II
refugees, including II children,
who have been invited to settle in
Norway. They were the last con-
tingent of $50 hard core cases
selected for admission by a Nor
wegian committee in 1855. The
others, consisting of Al Czechs
and 81 Jews. arrived four months
ago. Since the end of World War
II, Norway has admitted nearly
5000 refugees, including over 1000
physically handicapped, mainly
former tuberculars.
The latest arrivals, comprising
refugees of national origins,
came directly from Displaced Per-
sons camps in Italy and Germany.
After cordial reception, % were
sent to sanatoria for observation
and treatment. The rest left for
5-month stay at Larkollen re-
ceiving center, to be briefed on
Norwegian conditions and to learn
a trade. The project, jointly man.
aged by Norwegian Refugee Coun-
Gil and the State Rehabilitation
Institute. is financed by a 5000
contribution from American Joint
Distribution Committee.
