ly 1° to 1e s- 1- Swedes Believe Match King Alive ee SCOFF AT STORY ee * * # # Local Man Reports Upon Return | WILL THROW OPEN * ee * oF SUICIDE *e Scandinavians refuse to believe that Ivar Kreuger, Swedish match king, is dead. This is one of a variety of colorful stories about Scandinavia brought back to Bismarck this week by Carl O. Lindbergh, who spent the summer in his native country of Sweden. Swedes, Norwegians and Danes ref- ‘use to believe newspaper stories that Kreuger killed himself in Paris and give credence to the report that he is living on some remote island, Lind- bergh said. Scandinavian rumor has it that the match king disappeared with a large quantity of gold, 90,000,000 crowns, and that he was seen in Malmo, Swe- den, late in June, which was after he was reported to have killed himself. They \elieve Kreuger plans to re- main away from Sweden for 10 years —when the statute of limitations will make it impossible for the government | to prosecute him for a multitude of crimes with which he is charged un- officially in connection with his operation of the world’s largest match industry. Rumor says that a wax figure—not the body of Kreuger—was cremated. Another report which Scandinavians say gives credence to their belief is that shortly after the suicide report a Swedish cigar factory received a mysterious order for a large shipment of a special cigar which Kreuger smoked. This shipment allegedly was sent to a secret destination—presum- ably a remote island where Kreuger is assumed to have established his hideout. Bootlegger Not Eliminated Sweden's prohibition system has not eliminated the bootlegger, Lind- bergh said. The government is con- tinually prosecuting liquor law vio- Jators and probably will be forced to prosecute more in the near future be- cause of a liquor war which has de- veloped during the summer. In the spring, according to Lind- bergh, the government raised the price on “brandin” or potato whisky, in an effort to replenish the depleted government treasury. Another boost in price was ordered July 1 and many Swedish citizens, including practically all of the farmers, began a “strike” and refused to buy government liquor. They even went so far as to threaten to make their own liquor in violation of the law, Lindbergh said. When the “strike” began, citizens began turning in their liquor coupon books to the government depots by the thousands and during July sale of government liquor fell 30 per cent, the Bismarck man said. Farmers are allowed from two to four quarts of hard liquor a month, depending on the size of their farms, under the Swedish system. To secure the liquor from the depot, the appli- cant must go through four steps, vis- iting a man who inspects his coupon book, one who stamps the coupon, an- other who accepts payment for the liquor and a fourth who turns over the liquor. Must Pay His Taxes No citizen who has not paid his taxes is allowed to purchase gover: ment liquor under the system. The summer in Sweden was ex- tremely cool and dry during the fore part, Lindbergh said, but became warmer, with rains arriving almost daily after July 10. Lindbergh said a 25-acre ‘farm in Sweden produces almost as much crop as a quarter section of land in North Dakota. Swedish farmers are reap- ing nearly 50 bushels of wheat to the acre, he said. His brother, the Bis- marck man said, raised rutabagas, the leaves of which were three feet high. Rutabagas are ground up and fed to cattle in Sweden, noted for its dairying. Corn has had little sucsess in the Scandinavian countries bs- cause it does not ripen soon enough. Lindbergh, however, brought to his brother five different types of seed corn, These were planted and ap- parently were doing well when Lind- bergh left for the United States. Government is busy in Sweden, Lindbergh said, having direct control of telephone and telegraph systems, railroads, radiocasting and even steamship lines. No advertising is permitted in radiocast programs, Lindbergh said. The farming class in northern Sweden is not friendly to the mon- archy, Lindbergh said, farmers de- claring that King Gustav is too highly paid for what little part he has in government. Don’t Notice Depression Swedes do not take much notice of the depression, the Bismarck man said, and business there seems to go ahead unretarded. The jobless are cared for by a government dole. “A farmer who owns his land can live live a king,” Lindbergh said, since prices for necessities are lower than Farmers, however, are content to ride bicycles, Lindbergh said. Auto- mobile taxes are high and govern- ment requires that all auto owners be insured by the state. Now Sweden is attempting to license bicycles, the American said. Notes Many Oddities All talking pictures shown in Swe- den are in the German language, and few persons understand them, Lind- bergh said. Radio stations, of which Sweden has about six, broadcast jazz music, but it is unpopular with listen- ers. Swedes often tune in on sta- tions in Norway, Denmark, Germany and France, they are in the United States. Walking down the streets of Stock- holm, Oslo or Copenhagen, he sald, one might think he was in America, since practically all of the automobiles used there are manufactured in the United States. American oil com- panies have hundreds of gasoline fill- ing stations in Sweden. ; While in Sweden, Lindbergh visited his brother, August Franssen, a farmer near Falkenberg, 75 miles from Gu- tenberg, important Swedish seaport. Lindbergh made the trip with a special Finlander and Swedish ex- cursion, two trains of which were made up in Minneapolis and Chicago. He said 1,400 made the trip. They left New York on the Gris- holm May 28, reaching Gutenberg after a chilly trip the morning of June 7. It was six degrees below treezing when they landed at Guten- ‘berg, he said. Lindbergh took a Dan- ish boat back, leaving Copenhagen ‘Aug. 18 and visiting in Oslo the fol-| lowing day for three hours, He ar- rived at New York last Monday. try, Lindbergh tooth picks used. Neither do wom- en_ use lipstick or complexion paint. Newspapers carry advertisements ,on their front pages. Swedes do not like corn flakes, Lindberg said, but Swedish grocery stores handle large supplies of Amer- { ican-made goods. California canned and dried fruit is especially popular. ; Lindbergh said all his friends in Sweden requested him to bring greet- jings to Scandinavian residents of Bismarck and North Dakota. It was the first visit to Sweden in 25 years for the Bismarck man, who resides at 615 Ninth St. STATE MILL BOARD TO TRANSFER FUNDS Money From Operating Profits Will Be Used to Pay Bonds and Interest Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 2—(@?)— Members of the North Dakota state mill and elevator board voted at a meeting Friday to transfer $348,000 from the operating profit account to} the state interest and sinking fund. The action of the board was an- nounced by Governor Shafer, who stated that at present there are out- Standing against the mill bonds to- taling $3.750,000. Of this total. $' 000 are operating bonds and 000 construction bonds. Oris} the operating bonds were about a million and a half, but approximate- ly one-half of this indebtedness bas been paid. Apporoximately a half million dol- |lars of the construction bonds fall dro in five years and all the opera |ing bonds are due in six years,, Gov- ernor Shafer said. The operating bonds due next year are about $250,000 and the balance becomes payable five years later. To help meet this indebtedness, the board voted to transfer $348,000 of the mill and elevator operating prof- its to the state. The transferred money will be as- signed to three state funds, accord- ing to the governor. To the con- ruction bond sinking fund, $125,000 stallment of operating bonds $100,- 000 will be used, and the balance of jthe amount, $123,000 will be applied |on the interest fund that will ac- crue next year. In addition to this the state will be required to levy about $80,000 to meet the accrued interest. In explaining the action, Governor jShafer said the transfer leaves the mill sufficient money for operations. j The capital was not disturbed and neil depreciation reserve was left in- tact.
