With such a decline from the initial enthusiasm for his project, curator Kuno Francke could never achieve his original aim of demonstrating the full development of German art from the Roman Empire to present times, as well as showing the relation of Scandinavian, Lowland, English, Swiss and American art to their Germanic influences. However, during the '20's and '30's the museum enjoyed the heyday of its activities, with a heavy schedule of exhibits, concerts, slide lectures, plays, book collections, sculpture and paintings, and even a children's art center in the basement...

From Los Angeles' fog-shrouded airport, a white and silver DC-6B of the Scandinavian Airlines System last week took off on the first scheduled commercial flight to Europe by way of the Arctic. By flying a great circle route, instead of across the continent to New York, SAS cuts the Los Angeles-Copenhagen route by 459 miles and the flying time by 2 hrs. 25 min. (The regular one-way fare of $574 saves the passenger $40; $970 round trip is $70 less.) Cruising at 300 m.p.h. at about 17,000 ft. altitude, SAS made only two stops...
