SPEAKS AT ROTABY
, Use Lindbaek, Norwegian
war correspondent and free lance
writer, who is in Klamath Falls
this week, was guest speaker at
the Friday noon luncheon of the
Rotary club. She was introduced
by Paul Landry, chairman of the
day.
The guest speaker told of the
fall of Norway and of the pas
sive resistance to the Germans
now going on in that country.
She related some of the life of
Quisling explaining that at first
he was a communist. Not get
ting very far with that organi
zation, he switched to the nazl
pary, which before Norway was
invaded, however, influenced
only about one per cent of the
Norwegian population.
Mrs. Lindbaek said that the
Norwegian government-in - exile
is able to maintain its functions
and armed services without aid
from its allies through income
from the Norwegian merchant
marine. According to the sneak
er, about 1000 merchant marine
ships escaped the invasion of
Norway, and though about half
of those ships have since been
lost, there are still about 550 re
maining, which are playing an
important part in allied opera
tions.
