on Norway for a foreign power
and having entered Norway from
• neighboring Russia illegally on
faked identity papers.

Economy Experts See
Early Business Upswing
And No Depression
WASHINGTON, April 27, UP)—
Government and private econom
ists yesterday reported there is
evidence of an early business up
swing. Some said it already has
begun..
Four experts gave their apprais
als of the situation to the annual
meeting of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, a private organization
of businessmen.
All four were optimistic but
some cautioned that the “rally,”
while it may be good for several
months, may be only a temporary
break in a period of economic
“slackness” lasting from one to
possibly five years.
All discounted the possibility of
serious depression, however. And
all seemed to agree that when the
“interim period” of adjustment
ends the country can expect a
bigger boom carrying it to the
1960s.
Dolls are found among the re
mains of remote antiquity and
often are associated with religious
j observances.
Testimony of Confused
Witness Thrown Out of
Dickenson Court Martial
WASHINGTON, UPl—One of the
prosecution’s star witnesses
against Cpl. Edward S. Dicken
son swore Tuesday that he was so
confused he wanted to have all of j
his testimony thrown out of Dick- l
enson’s court martial.
Recalled for cross-exa'mination,
Cpl. Thomas A. Carrick of Blacks
burg, Va., told the court in regard
to his previous testimony:
“I was mistaken—I think so—I
am still confused on it.”
After a vigorous fight by Col.
C. Robert Baard, the prosecutor,
Carrick’s testimony was permitted
to remain in evidence for the
eight-member court to weigh.

DOG IS HOST
WHITEFISH, Mont., W—The
i stranger, caught in a sub-zero
j snowstorm, looked desperately for
a place to stay. He saw a road
house and knocked on the door
; but could arouse ijo one.
Then he saw an immense dog
i house. He crawled in and spent
i the night cuddled next to a giant
St. Bernard. The next morning
| George Robinson was startled to'
see a man climb out of his dog’s
i house. Ordinarily the dog—.Peter
Pan—wouldn’t allow anyone but
the family near his house.

insons—and Peter Pan—for their
‘■warm hospitality” and walked
on down the highway.
