Dartmouth in Surinam

Carl F. Norden '29, a member of the Foreign Service now stationed in Dutch Guinea received prominent praise in a front page story in the New York Tunes on December 1. The dispatch, headed Paramaribo, Surinam, and released by the War Department on November 30, was a radiogram from Lieut. Col. Stanley J. Grogan, chief of the Press Branch of their Bureau of Publications. It began, "The former Nazi headquarters here today became the headquarters of the U. S. forces, Col. Parley D. Parkinson commanding" and went on to explain a Nazi plot uncovered there and the surprise of German prisoners that Americans had really come.

"The Consulate staff here has been of inestimable aid," it continued. "It is headed by Carl Norden of New York, whose father is the inventor of the famous bomb sight." Further commenting on the work of Norden and his two associates, it said, "They gave unsparingly of their time to the U. S. forces."
