Plant Invasion OnUllnir met Hitler on De cember 14 and 15, 1939, Schodjt charged, and also received zuu,. 000 Bold marks from an anti. British company for his part in nlnnnini? the invasion. Quisling paled perceptibly as the accusation rang oui. ocnonji waved a document which he said had been found in Germany m which the entire political and military preparations for the ac tion in Worway were ouiiuitu for Hitler by Rosenberg. Prosecutor Schodjt said Hitler personally had disclosed to his deputies that Germany's "au- dacious step m invaaing ior wav was taken on the basis of repeated advice from Quisling who warned that delay would be risky. The document which Schodjt waved before the court was broueht from Germany by an American officer and three Nor wegian officials operating under the auspices of the office of Jus tice Robert H. Jackson, chief U. S. prosecutor of criminals. The surprise disclosure came as Quisling presented a 21,000 word 69-page statement detail ing his own defense. Defiant "Patriot" . Defiantly picturing himself as a patriot and a prophet, the man whose name has become a syn onym for collaboration declared that "Hitler has proved to be right it is not England who has eventually won, but bolshe vism." "England has attained her war aim as far as beating Germany goes, but in Russia an even more dangerous continental power has arisen," Quisling declared. He demanded "rehabilitation and indemnification for the in sults, and harm" he said had been 'heaped upon him. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Paae One) are practically NO small city dailies in England.

Is a good roof, warm in winter and cool in summer. Its disadvantage is that mice nest and tunnel in it, along with some birds, constantly showering down debris into the rooms below. That, however, has been checked by putting a covering of wire screen around the thatch, and a tight sheathing of boards under it. Thatch Is a long-lived roof. with an expectancy of 50 to 75 years. But you see NO new tnatcn roots. The reason given Is that thatching is a dvine trade. like basket weaving among our inaians. No young men are learnint? it.

"But, of course, misinforma tion of actual facts can cause condemnation from many people. We have this much to say to the public, that anyone having any questions in regard to the union's position or line of reason ing are invited to come to the union hall and their questions will be answered." The union report said that Sunday's meeting proved the back-to-work . talk without get ting the union demands is just "wild crackpot rumor." Not one man, they said, raised the question at the union meeting. Reference was evidently made to published reports from a source unassociated with either labor or management that there was a "back to work" movement here. That report was based in part on a street survey. Since no official action has been forthcoming from the war labor board it would indicate that the strike question here has been lost between the conciliation service and the WLB, an author itative source stated today.

Anions tho Americans may be many who withstood the last horrible days of the blazing siege of Corregl. dor. The prisoners broke Into wild shouts of joy when the rescue teams arrived, Wedemeyer said. Most of them had been treated "quite well," and illness was not "unusually high," he added. The names of the freed Ameri cans have not yet been niado known. Riiked Death The men who reached Wain Wright's camp had flown 1100 miles from Siking (Sian) in Shensl province, eurly on Aug ust 16. They knew they were risking death to bring food, medical aid and encouragement to the internees, since they had no idea of what the reaction of the Japanese would be. The Jap anese had been informed ahead of time by leaflets of the coming of the parachutists. Brig. Gen. George Olmstead of Des Moines, Iowa, who plan ned and directed the missions, had high praise for the courage of the teams, many of whose members never before had para chuted. The men, all volun teers, dropped in nine places from Mukden, Manchuria, to Saigon, lndo-Cmnn. The Japa nese did not molest them. The contact team landing at Weihsien in Shtmtunc said thn Japanese were sullen but offer ed no resistance.
