Norway Defies Russians' Anger; Takes Stand With Western Allies By Daniel De Luce OSLO, Norway, Feb. 11—(AP)—Norway’s mind is made up. She Will stand VWth the west regardless of Russia’s anger. The risks were calculated far in advance by the icily calm states man of this northern land. They are convinced that Norway’s preser vation depends on Western support. Without bombastic propaganda or saber rattling, the Norwegians appear ready to assume the obcligations of an Atlantic defense pact. Their thinking is entirely defensive. They claim nothing from the Soviet Union except continued peace. Perhaps more than most peoples. The Norwegians fear another war. Norway’s present development of foreign and military policy started soon after the shock of Czechoslovakia’s capture from the inside a year ago by communists who take orders from Moscow. Norway had already had a lesson in 1940 from the Nazi invasion that neutrality is no defense against aggression. But the downfall of Czechoslovak democracy taught Norwegians more than that. It showed that sincere attempts to “build a bridge’’ between East and West earned no gratitude from Russia. Former Norwegian bridge builders now’ are among the staunchest advocates of a common defense for the west. If they need any prodding, they read Oslo’s Communist newspaper, whcih makes it clear that Norway must joint the red camp without reservations or else. Of Norway’s six parties, only the Communists oppose military ties with the West. There is a universal desire, however, to avoid any nervous act or frightened attitude which might provoke Russia. An unwritten rule is that Norway’s ,150,000 people should refrain from doing or saying things to irritate needlessly their country’s relations with the Soviet union. As Norwegians say, “We have fat on our nerves.” They mean they can stand a cold war without succumbing to jitters.

(Phillips had stated earlier that he warned students in his classes that he had “Marxist learnings,” but he never admitted being a com munist until his statement in the University of Washington student newspaper prior to his dismissal.) Q.—You stated that you have never visited the Soviet Union. Don't you feel that you are perhaps moved by idealism ? A.—I may be. I will not brag about my information, but I have tried to make myself as well in formed as I could. I have studied statistics and weighed the capital istic press against the Soviet. I have found that I must reject much of the capitalistic writing. Q.—Docs the USSR believe in free elections ? A. -Do your laughing first. My answer is “yes.” Q.—Can you think of any se quence of events which would dis credit Marxian theory as it has been fulfilling itself in the Soviet Union? A. -One. If the USSR started a war of aggression. LOST-—Pair of dark brown leather gloves Wednesday in room 6 Friendly. Reward. Call John Ev ans, Stan Ray hall, Ext. 381 87 NOTICE—Socks darned, nickel a pair.

Seventy mile winds blew across drift-weighed southeastern Wyom ing. New sub-zero winds swept suoth from Canada into the Dako tas, Nebraska and Minnesota. The racing gusts picked up old snow from the ground and flung it into a blinding curtain. Operation Snowbound At headquarters of the Fifth Ar my’s giant operation Snowbound, Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick acknow ledged that the road opening ac complishments of his snowplows and bulldozers were largely blotted out by the shifting drifts. The west’s worst winter in the weather bureau records coinued to menace isolated farm families in southern Wyoming, northwestern Nebraska and western South Dako ta. There, too, hundreds of thous ands of cattle and other farm ani mals remained in dire straits. Many of them have been fed limited amounts of hay hauled by truck through temporarily opened corri dors in the snow or dropped from i planes. But few herds have been fed adequately since the blizzards of early and mid-January. How many cattle and sheep lie dead beneath snow-mounds can on ly be guessed.
