Activity to Be
lntensified in Sweden
STOCKHOLM *7 (Byairmailiew
Recent political events abroad
have made it necessary to in
crease the activity of the Swedish
anti-espionage police, states Min
ister of the Interior. Eje Moss
berg; in a Government bill. Based
on the suggestion the the Com—
missioner of the Swedish State Po
lice. Mr. Mossberg is asking the
Riksdag for a grant for the next
budget year of 2.890.000 kronor.
as compared to 1.500000 for the
current year. Part of the money
will be used to keep a systematic
check on radio sending and receiv
ing stations. It is also pointed out
in the bill that the situation may
develop in such a way that the
security activity may have to be
even further intensified. In such
event. it should be permissible to
exceed even the asked-for grant,
so long as the Government agrees
thereto.

Sensational results have been ob-l

radar spots an icebound ship in;

which is never the shortest. can
be selected. using stretches of less .
solid ice, drift ice and occasional‘
rifts with open water.
The experiences gained ~with ra- ‘
dar in icebound sea lanes are ex
pected to have far-reaching ef
fects on both mercantile and naval
navigation.
Unusually early spring weather
in combination with the campaign
of the Swedish ice-breakers have
made it possible to resume ship
