Norwegian Labor
Boycotts QuisIing

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 18-(UP)-
Two hundred thousand Norwegian
labor union members have resigned
their memberships and joined
teachers, clergymen and lawyers in
an open fight against Quisling and
Nazi regimes, advices from Norway
said today.
In usually identical letters, mem
bers of the unions wrote Vidkun
Quisling, traitor Norwegian leader,
that they were resigning because
their leaders intended to send del
egates to the Quisling semi-parlia-
mentary Reichsting.
The letters said the delegates
named by the Quislings, would
utilize my membership to further
a policy which is contrary to my
deepest convictions.
So enormous was the workers re-
sponse to a boycott call, advices
said, that the Oslo post office is
inundated and it has been neces-
sary to engage extra help.

Murphy Declares
Army Worlds Best

NEW YORK, Sept 18-(UP) -
Justice Frank Murphy of the su-
preme court, who relinquished his
duties as a lieutenant colonel On
active duty last midnight, believes
that our army is the greatest un-
der the sun today"
Arriving last night by plane, he
said the new army was trained by
men with ability, trained with en-
thusiasm and vigor."
I'VE have a new type of officer
today who is a real leader" he said
HE is not something vague from
the background, but he is up in the
front lines with machine gun
slung across his back and knife
strapped to his side. Why, even
the ccrporals of today are more
expert than the colonies of the
civil and Spanish h-American war
and many of the junior officers OF
the last war
Murphy said that he knew how
the American soldiers are trained
because he was on duty with them
and had fired almost every kind
of gun.

Gains Compensate
For Canada Losses
In Raid at Dieppe

OTTAWA, Sept 18 - CUP) -
Canadian troops at Dieppe paid a
very heavy price in casualties but
obtained information and exper-
ience vital to the general often
sive program" of the United Ma
tions, Defense Minister J. L. Raj
ston said today.
The statement, made to the peo-
pie of Canada in view of the heavy
casualties, disclosed that of 5000
Canadian troops in the engage
ment, more than half, 1857 men,
were killed, wounded, or missing.
THE United Nations" he said,
"have an agreed offensive policy
In the preparation and development
CT such a policy the acquisition of
the fullest possible information
concerning the enemy's strength
and every other element in the
situation affecting the conduct of
operations against him is a matter
of the most fundamental import
ance"
Imperial Valley press., 1942-09-18
GAINS LISTED

He listed six positive achieve
mentS of the raid:
l. A large naval force crossed
the channel and remained off the
French coast for many hours, with
the loss of only one destroyer and
a number of small landing craft.
2. Military forces were landed
on enemy occupied beaches and
heavy tanks "in large numbers
were transported across the chan
mel and successfully landed.
3. Organization of the combined
command "functioned most admir-
ably"
q. The enemy was compelled to
concentrate air squadrons from
distant points and commit a large
force to action" This gave the
Royal Air Force a valuable oppor-
tunity, and in the intense air fight
ing over Dieppe the German air
force suffered losses in aircraft
amounting to very serious stra-
tegic reverse
5. Enemy batteries and a radio
location station were destroyed,
heavy casualties were inflicted,
prisoners were recaptured and "one
and possibly two armed vessels were
sunk" during the channel crossing.
6. Canadian troops gained COM
bat experience and confidence IN
themselves and thier leaders.
