THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Funds Donated
For Microscope
OSLO—Bacteriological research
in Norway will soon take a long
step forward with the purchase of
that country’s first electron micro
scope. it was announced in Oslo
recently. A 125,000 kr. 1325.000)
grant for the new instrument was
recently presented to the W. Wil
helmsen Bacteriological Institute
by Erling H. Samuelson. head of
an Oslo shipping firm.
Heretofore, virus research in
Norway has been severely ham
pered by the lack of this vital and
expensive microscope. It is under
stood that earlier contacts with
the instrument's manufacturer in
the United States may result in its
early delivery to the Oslo Insti
tute.
The value of new life insurance
written in Sweden in 1947 set a
new record high of about 1,005
million kronor, which is 244 mil
lion kronor more than the year
before. At the beginning of 1948,
the total value of all life insur
ances in force in Sweden was 8.-
800 million kronor.

First War Babies
Return To Norway
OSLOmWThQ Oslo press notes
that a first group of 60—70 “war
children" are scheduled t( nrriw
in Norway's capital from the Rus—
sian zone in Germany within tho‘
month. These are the first of sev
eral hundred children who were
born in Norway during the occu
pation and then forcibly shipped‘
off to various parts of Germany
by the Nazi authorities. .
With Nazi fathers and Norwe
gian mothers, their uncertain fu—f
ture as waifs in Germany soon re
sulted in government action to
bring them home and give them a‘
fair chance. The first to arrive
will be those who have no homes.
and who have simply been passed!
on from one German institution;
to another. Travel to Norway will _
be by bus. Following arrival each‘
child will be given a thorough clin— l
ical examination before being re-{
turned to the mother or charged[
to the adopting parent. . 1‘
Most members of this first group i
will be returned to their own fam—
‘ilies as their identification papers
accompanied them to Germany.
Others still in Germany are not
so fortunate. however. and in
many instances identification is all
but impossible.
