Quisling became hysterical at
his treason trial today when the
court repeatedly demanded
whether he worked for Nor
way's inclusion in the greater
German reich.
After evading direct answers
to a series of questions regarding
a letter he sent Adolf Hitler and
a memorandum he had drafted
on Norwegian-German collabora
tion, the former puppet premier
of Norway cried hysterically:
I did it to save my counlryl
The last four years have been
a nightmare for me because I
had to fight both sides!"
The third day of Quisling's
trial opened with disclosure that
court psychiatrists had examin
ed the defendant on June 18 and
had found "no signs that he is
mad and nothing to show that
he is a person with under-developed
or weakened mental
power."
Quisling showed Increasing
signs of strain under the prose

peatedly broke into Schjoedt's
questioning with loud objections.
Schjoedt asked whether Quis

which the accused man retorted
he had "heard very little" of
them.
Then the prosecutor switched
to nazl terrorism in Norway dur

SUPERVISION OF
LIBERATED VOTE
Soviet Organ Tells of Split
Between Allies and Own
Policy In Europe.
Washington, Aug. 22 CUR)
King Michael, 24-year-old ruler
of Romania, has appealed to the
Big Three to aid his country In
forming a new government after
Romanian Prime Minister Peter
Goria declined royal Invitation
to resign.
London, Aug. 22 (U.R) The
Soviet government organ Izves
tia said today that Russia has
flatly refused proposals by the
western allies for allied super
vision of elections in liberated
countries.
Such supervision, Izvestia
said, would constitute unwar
ranted interference with the
sovereignty of the liberated
states.
"No matter what form the so
called supervision would take,
essentially it cannot but boil
down to establishment of control
over the internal policy of an
other state which cannot be sub
jected to control from outside,"
Izvestia said.
The Izvestia dispatch was re
layed from Moscow as the
United States, Britain and
France prepared to supervise
elections in Greece. Britain and
the United States also had pro
tested to Bulgaria against her ar
rangements for elections next
Monday.
The dispatch marked the first
authoritative disclosure nf Rn-I
I sian policy on the matter and j
disclosed a serious split between
the eastern and western allies on
! the njethods of restoring democ
racy in lands freed from the Ger
mans. A British note handed the
Soviet-supported Bulgarian gov
ernment yesterday said flatly
that Britain would be "unable to
1 recognize as democratic any Bui-1
I garian government formed as re-1
j suit of the elections" In that I
country.
U. S. Secretary of Stale James j
Byrnes said Monday that the
United States also was not "sat
isfied" that the Bulgarian elec
tion arrangements would permit
all democratic elements to par
ticipate "free from force and In
timidation." COAST GUARD REDUCES

HALF LEND-LEASE
DEBTS FORECAST
Reports To Congress So
Indicate; Russia and Brit
ish Seek Credit Loans.
Washington, Aug. 22 (URI
AH authoritative evidence indi
cated today that the United
States may cancel well over half
of the obligations incurred by
allied nations under the lend
lease program.
That is supported by state
ments of the late President
Roosevelt and President Truman
in their quarterly lend-lease re
ports to congress, and by the
statements of the senate and
house foreign relations commit
tees in renewing the lend-lease
act.
President Truman's order
halting lend-lease immediately
focussed attention on one of the
most difficult postwar Jobs a
final lend-lease settlement. Pro
curement of supplies for allies
under lend-lease already has
stopped; actual transfers will
cease on the official V-J day.
The major problem now is to
work out interim agreements so
that allied nations can continue
to receive lend-lease materials
now in stockpiles, in the transit
"pipeline," or on order. Those
nations will have to pay cash or
make arrangements for credit if
they still wish such equipment
and materials. :
Foreign Economic Administra
tor Leo T. Crowley pointed out
that the export-import bank was
ready to consider applications
for loans from any allied nations
that still wants lend-lease sup
plies that arc still in the works.
Russia reportedly has been
seeking a $6,000,000,000 credit
loan and Britain one of a similar
amount.
PUPPET RULER OF
MANCHURIA HELD
BY SOVIET ARMY
London, Aug. 22 (U.R) Rus
sia announced the capture of
Emperor Kang Teh, Japan's pup
pet ruler of Manchuria, and his
imperial suite today.
Marshal Alexander M. Vasl
levsky, Soviet far eastern rom
mander, radioed the chief of
staff of Japan's Kwantung army
that the emperor was "safe In
my hands."
The one-time "Boy Emperor"
formerly known as Henry P'u
Yi was considered an internee
and was being held with his
suite In "proper surroundings,"
Vasilevsky said In his message.
Vasilevsky'j announce m e n t
was broadcast by Radio Kha
barovsk, voice of the Soviet far
eastern command, as red armies
captured 92,000 more Japanese
officers and men, including four
generals and the entire Japanese
fifth Kwantung army.
Kang Teh was the former
Hsuan Tung, last emperor of the
Manchu dynasty In China. De
posed In 1911. he took the name
of Henry P'u YI. The Japanese
recalled him to power In 1DI12
and made him chief executive
of what they called the Inde
pendent state of Manchukuo,
seized from China in 1931.
The Khabarovsk broadcast
gave no details of the emperor s
capture or whereabouts. How
ever, Changchun (Hsinking),
nominal capital of Manchuria,
was captured by the red army
over the week end.
It was possible that China
would demand custody of the
emperor as a war criminal be
cause of his service to Japan,
