Mayor Dilworth said he knew
of no way of gaining control
other than buying the privately

House meeting last month and
that the final decision to an

Strauss Proposed Plan
The President said his deci-
sion was on the recommendation
Of Mr.. Strauss, in which the De-
Tense and State Departments
concur.
He summarized the reasons
behind his action in these words:
"Mankind's hopes and aspira-
tons for peace and greater we'll

worlds progress in developing
the peaceful uses Of atomic
energy"
The U-235 unfrozen for power
production by his decision Is in
addition to 200 Kilograms al
ready made available for re-
search reactors abroad.
Mr.. Strauss said several ma
tons now are negotiating with
the United States for agree
ments involving cooperation in
nuclear power plants-a big step
beyond the research cooperation
agreements concluded so far.
Mr.. Hagerty said the negotiating
countries include Italy, the
Netherlands, Australia and sew
eral South American nations, as
well as Belgium which already
has a 10000 kilowatt plant under
construction,

Mr.. Broadwater offered to do

Mr.. Broadwater declared that

Old-age care in Sweden must first
of all concentrate on trying to
help old people to live as indie
pendent life as possible in their
own homes, according to a report
by a committee of experts just
presented to the government. To
a greater extent than hitherto, the
government and the municipalities
should contribute toward the
aged's need for economic secur-
ity, adequate dwellings,, h o m e
assistance and occupation, as well
as medical care in old peoples
homes. The costs for realizing
this project are estimated at 80
million kronor annually, plus an
initial outlay of II million.
The new program is welcomed
in the press as an initiative of
great Importance, both from a
humanitarian and an economic
viewpoint. At the beginning of
this century there were in Sweden
about 100000 persons over sixty
five years, representing 8.5 per
cent of the entire population. To-
day the number has risen to 7OO,-
600, or ten per cent, and toward
the middle of the 1905 it will
probably reach one million, or
about Is per cent of the total.

Impressed By
U.S.. Musical Life

OSLO. - The Norwegian COM
poser Klaus Egge cites American
rythm as one of the greatest in
spirations during his recent visit
to many parts of USA. In the
course of II weeks, Mr.. Egge told
the New York correspondent of
the Oslo newspaper Aftenposten,
ne heard ten leading symphony
orchestras, besides inumerable
otter concerts. In his opinion, the
Boston and the Philadelphia SYM
ponies are tops.
What impressed the Norwegian
composer more than anything else
was the broad basis of the musical
education at U. S. universities and
colleges, which he felt was bound
to produce results. Mr.. Egge, who
has been president of the Norwe-
gian Composers Society since
1915, said soon it would be I'M
necessary for Americans to go to
Europe for advanced musical STU
Dies U. S. composers, he observed,
are endeavoring to develop an
American music that expresses the
spirit of our age, without being
inhibited by European traditions.
He deplored, however, that U. S.
orchestras do not play more works
by contemporary composers.
