Norway's Civil Police
Is Reported Taken
Over by Quis|ing
State Of Emergency
Lifted; New Outbreaks
= Of Sabotage Forecast
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The Mos
COW radio broadcast reports from
Oslo today that Jonas Lie had
been dismissed as Norwegian
chief of police and that Mai.
Vidkun Quisling had taken per-
sonal charge of the civil police.
The Germans, meanwhile. lifted
a state of civil emergency imposed
on the important Trondheim coastal
region last Tuesday. Thirty-four
persons we're said to have been ex-
ecuted there as saboteurs or hos
tages during the period of strict
control.
Statement Issued.
Norwegian circles in London said
Quisling sources In Stockholm had
issued statement that:
THE state of civil emergency
affected large number Of people
who had nothing to do with the acts
committed. Authorities desire that
these people shall not be hit harder
than is absolutely necessary for the
security of the people"
Norwegian circles here predicted
that the Norwegians would react
with continued outbreaks against
Nazi overlordship.
Far from stamping out rebellion,
these circles said, the strong meas
ures taken by the Germans probably
will serve only to provoke new out
breaks.
Undoubtedly" one source de-
clared, 1.-The Germans have aroused
some of the Norwegians in the
Trondheim area who have been pas
sive heretofore"
Actually, it was said, the lifting
Of the state of emergency will mean
little because Of the normal re-
straints imposed on the Norwegian
population by occupation authori-
ties.
Radio reports from Oslo an
nouncing the lifting of the emer-
gency did not disclose what action
the Germans had taken with respect
to the 1000 or more Norwegians they
were reported to have arrested in
tNe laSL 1eW Gays.
Meanwhile, a picture of the grad
ual deterioration of the morale of
German occupation forces In Bel
gium was painted by Antoine Del
fosse, minister of justice and infor-
nation in the Belgian government
ln-exile, who recently escaped to
Britain.
Delfosse maintained that Ger
many is on the verge of collapse on
the military and home fronts and
said it now is only question OF how
long she can last.
Signs Of Disintegration.
Belgians, he declared, can notice
evident signs of slow German disin-
tegration which are the precursors
OF the final debacle.
The German soldier, formerly 50
smart and alert. is dull and detected
and complains only about the unex-
pected length of the war, the end
OF which he cannot see," he said.
Germany is on the eve of collapse"
Except for the coastal regions. the
army of occupation in Belgium now
is composed OF ''old and tired SOL
oilers" whose equipment is much re-
duced in quantity and quality, the
minister said.
H 4&ed-that German soldiers on
leave from the Russian front have
real terror Of being sent back and
tnat assertions are increasing.

He was referring to Mr.. Nelson's
report on American war production
during August, in which Mr.. Nelson
said he found both good and bad
elements in aircraft production
progress.
In describing the operation of the
West Coast Council, Mr.. Vaughan
said:
THE companies exchange enei-
neerlng and research findings that
have cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars, lend or sell each other ma
terials to relieve shortages or main
tain production, lend engineers in
times of emergency, and refer ma jor
problems to functional committees,
which In turn make their findings
available to all members, thus avoid
Ing duplication of time and effort"
