NEW YORK. Dec. 22 The

a cloudless aky over llnwuli on
December 7 nearly blew the
bulging Christmas pack right off
Santn'a back here In America's
biggest shopping center almost
6000 miles away.
But Santa, like the American
people, can take it. Momentar

pack, and went determinedly
back to hi work, with renewed
Yule spirit.

But by week's end, in those

have shot moose on Monday, you
couldn't have packed a sardine

their initial shock, Americana
have apparently decided to make
this the merriest Christmas of

(AP) The Scandinavian corre

friction between Norwegian
bishops and the German-backed
government of Vldkcn Quls'ing.
Bishop Flvlnd Berggrav ot
Oslo, leader of the churchmen
and known as a democrat and
progressive, has refused to per
mit the National Lutheran
church to participate In Quis

to attend meetings of the parlia

pation. He has also rejected efforts
to have the church call for a
'holy war" against Russia and
as a rsiult waa denounced by
the controlled press.
He wrote to ministers, In
structing them to cancel col
lective prayer after the Quis

the prayer mentioning king,
parliament and government, an
other calling for obedience to
the chief of state.
The correspondent also re

been forced to write all schools
warning that act of students
hostile to the state could no

order prohibited wearing the
Norwegian coat of arms, colors

The Stockholm correspondent

Pacific War Recalls Bits
Of Humor for Film Men
Br PAUL HARRISON
NEA Service Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 22 We
were talking about the war.
naturally, and the vastness of
the Pacific, and wondering
what sort of movie that 20th
Fox location company had got
In Hawaii, where it had been
sent, just before Japan's at
tack, to film idyllic background
shots for another sarong opera.
A player then told how a
Paramount company on a simi
lar mission had been blitzed
not by the Japs but by the Hays
office. This outfit was to make
atmosphere shots for the new
Dorothy Lamour picture, and
it assembled a lot of people
and dancers for a festival se
quence. Back in Hollywood,
though, every foot of the film
was thrown away because the
ah navels of the women
dancers were visible. In the
movies, adult human beings
don t have those things.
Another troupe, also commis
sioned to make background
scenes for a current picture,
was obliged to hire a blond
woman to double in long shots
for the star of the movie. To
their alarm, they discovered
that blonds were very scarce
indeed. (This wasn't In Hawaii.)
And finally they had to engage
the most notorious Jezebel in
that region of the tropica. The
censors ahd public will never
know, however; at a consider
able distance the strumpet looks
acceptably like the idealized
glamor girl.
WHALE OF A STORY
Assistant Director Robert
Webb got to yarning about
some location trips he had made
in the Pacific, beginning with
the one away back to "The Sea
Beast." That was done off the
coast of Alaska. "One day I
rented a half whale and hired
a boat to tow it 22 miles out to
where we were shooting," he
recalled. "We were going to
make the closeups showing John
Barrymore harpooning the crit
ter. "But when we got to the
spot there was no tugboat and
no whale. The director was
just 'asking sarcastically, "Well,

it was the only time In my life
that I was glad to see a Jap.
I hired the whale for an hour
for $50, and we got some swell

PAGO-PAGO PAY
He had an adventure in Pago
Pago, too, with 2800 angry na
tives. "I had hired 2800 of them
for a single big scene," Webb
said. "All they were supposed
to do was rush down to the
shore, scramble into war canoes
and furiously paddle away.
"But just as we were ready
to shoot, the head man an
nounced a sit-down strike. More
