The Timid Type “Would you think it strange it I ask that we sit in th’ back seat—it’s just that that’s the only place I can carry on a decent conversation.” A CLOSER WORLD Denmark Reports on Polar Route By Erik Norgaard COPENHAGEN, Denmark,— (Special to the Emerald) — Nov. 20—Tonight at 9:48 p.m. Oregon moved closer to Copenhagen and so to Western Europe. I have just been at the airport of Copenhagen, and, together with a large crowd, cheered a welcome to the Cloudmaster "Arild Viking,” when it landed, after a successful passenger flight from the Pacific Coast via the polar regions. Everybody who ever looked at a map from a global point of view knows that the shortest dis tance from Oregon to Europe will take you by the north pole. But with all airlines of to-day you have to go all the way via New York, so Scandinavian Airlines System wants to start this new route they have just tried. By this you save 1000 miles which means that Copenhagen is about four hours or 590 closer! Only Two Landings Yesterday afternoon a new DC6B took off from Douglas Airfield in Santa Monica and aft er 23 hours and 6 minutes of ac tual flying time we received the plane here. SAS just bought the plane and it was under command of the Danish pilot, Poul Jensen. On the whole 6,300 mile flight only two landings were made, first at Edmonton, Canada, and then at Thule on Greenland, the world’s largest island and one of Denmark’s colonies. On the whole trip the passeng ers, including the Danish and Norwegian Ambassadors to the U.S., some former polar explor ers, etc., enjoyed the comfortable living inside a modern plane, for getting about the mile-deep ice cap under them, with tempera tures down to zero. They were still breathing California air, when they came to the winter rain in Denmark. “The Flying Vikings’’ The reception tonight must have equalled that of Lindbergh in Paris in 1926. SAS is some times called “The Flying Vik ings,” as the great company was created in cooperation by all three Scandinavian countries a few years ago. Just like the vikings a thous and years ago were pioneers ih crossing the Atlantic and pre sumably finding America so to day “The Flying Vikings” are pioneers in knitting the world together, better, faster, safer. Yes, it is actually safer flying across the Pole, than crossing the Atlantic, because you there have something to make an emergency landing on. Spotlights and Flowers The Danish Chief-pilot, Poul Jensen, was received with flow ers from three Danish girls from Greenland who are studying in Copenhagen. When “Arild Vik ing” rolled up, just on time, bath ed in spotlights, gleaming in the rainy weather, on the airport of Copenhagen, all Scandinavians could not help feeling a little proud. The plane was American made, the pilot and the important link, Greenland, Danish, and out of this fine combination comes a new era in making the world smaller.

The attempt is grat ifying but to make the show pal atable the locale is restricted to the U. S. Senate and one Sena tor. Atier nearing the program the listener w o u 1 d think Washing ton is a senator's crusade sur rounded by a pack of newspap ermen wanting statements and pictures. Senator Doan Edwards ( i v Power carries on a crusade each week to change things and succeeds before the last page of the script. He finds himself in the unique position of unani mously being opposed or attack ed by the lest of his fellow sena tors or unanimously supported by his colleagues. Senator Edwards can best be described as a senator who stands for what Morse thinks he stands for and carries it out with the vigor Humphrey had as a freshman. Triumph of Right Eeing a freshman senator, Ed wards bites off more than he can chew at times, but the vener able Judge Parker is right there amid apparent catastrophe with the advice or idea to finish the last half of the program with a triumph of right. This triumph of light is a little overplayed from the practical standpoint. The backdrop of the program is a pure republican form of government. When the people speak the representatives bow down and special interests go undernourished. (After listen ing to HST anybody could know better.) This program should not be confused with another show by Gerald L. K. Smith’s organiza tion. “Freedom, U.S.A.” is point ed at objectives. “Big Lie” Techniques One program struck at a news paper columnist use of the “big lie” technique — but unfortunate ly implied that he was an isolated example. (Right won out and the columnist met a Johrfson office approved fate.) In an unreleased program Sen ator Edwards votes against a “pork barrel” (flood control dam) in his own state. The vote is not against federal projects but against proposed location. The production is good and the recordings are excellent. The script is good and action is swift. Technical errors are numerous. The grossest so far was a joint agricultural committee that au thorized, and appropriated money for storage bins and then let the contract. The existence of an ex ecutive department was ignored. A Complex Subject Despite all this, the producers have a complex subject to get over to a simple audience. How much will be pure entertainment Bottle Bombarding The Idaho Bengal, Idaho State college paper says: "We heard of only one sour note that was sounded during the Homecoming weekend. It seems that a group of ISC students found great sport in driving up and down Pocatello streets after the game and heav ing bottles from their car. “It is doubtful that those con cerned remember the incident. If they had had a few more under the belt, the bottles would have been throwing them out of the window.” and how much education will probably never be known. The radio listener is not taking a course in government and this program is not recommended a-s one. KASH and 27 other ABC sta tions in tiie three West Coast states are co-opeiating with Vir gil Pinkley’s campaign blood lor Korea. ABC stations will tape a personal greeting from anyone in the states to anyone in Koa-a if they give a pint of blood. The blood and tapes will be flown to Korea. On the return trip, tapes made by the troops will be heard on ABC In a special Chiistmas holiday program. KASII or your local ABC station has details. Rental TV TV outlook has brightened somewhat. FCC moved Kugene from somewhere in tin thousands on tire priority lists to 121. The voter's OK of Spencer's Butte as a site of broadcasting will give reception to a wider area. Over in Springfield a promotion is mov ing ahead to pipe TV into homes on a rental basis. It means spec ial wiring at so much a month. However when the stations start the neighbors will be getting it free. Ezzard Charles meets Jimmy Bivins tonight at 8:15 on KERG. CBS Protests Budget for the "Miss Brooks" contest to find the most beauti ful schoolteacher includes a fee for a detective agency to in vestigate winner's status before name is announced. CBS has protested to Eisen hower for not assigning radio and TV representatives to report the Korean trip. "You and the World” is dis cussing music in your life this week.
