STOCKHOLM, Aug. 3d.
P)-Danish troops still bat
tied the Germans in at least
one Danish zone today as the
Nazi military dictatorship
held King Christian X and
most members of Premier
Erik Scavenius' government
under some form of arrest.
Both the resignation and
detention of the Scavenius
cabinet were announced to-
night. The Germans had seiz-
ed all civil and court func-
tions in Denmark and warned
that courts martial would
punish disobedient Danes.
W i t h penalties including
death.
Six hundred Danish troops
still were hiding out against
the German army at 1870 a.
m. today at Naestved, near
the iceland coast 45 miles
southwest of Copenhagen,
said refugees reaching Swe-
den.
They said 450 persons were
killed or wounded yesterday
in a battle between the Danes
and the Germans at the port
of Svendborg, so miles west
| of Naestved.
Stubborn Resistance Seen
The first detailed information to
reach Sweden on events after the
Danish government was shorn of
power provided picture of stub
born military resistance against
overwhelming odds wherever there
was a garrison of Danish soldiers
or marines.
A royal guard wrecked three
Nazi tanks and II armored cars
in a furious battle at Jaegersborg,
six miles north of Copenhagen.
Most members of Scavenius's
government were either placed in
Jail or subjected to 'house arrest"
under the new military Dictator
ship.
Latest reports reaching Sweden
said that King Christian, who
had been spending the summer at
his castle Sorgenfri, Is miles out
side of Copenhagen, had b EN-
moved to Amalienborg, within the
capital, and that the entire royal
family was interned there under
German military guard.
At the royal summer castle Sum-
day morning, Is soldiers and two
Danish policemen stoutly resisted
200 German soldiers, but they were
finally surrounded and overpow-
cred.
A score of other prominent per-
sons-politicians, educators nd
journalists included-were report
ed arrested as the Nazis began a
swift roundup of Jews and refu-
gees. Among those arrested were
editors Niels Hasager of the Polit-
ken and Gunnar Nielsen Of the
Nationaltidende, it was said.
The cabinets resignation, an
nounced by the Danish radio, ap-
peared to have opened the way
for the establishment of a free
Danish government, probably in
London.

.BLIMP MISHAP
KILLS SAILORS
Explosion Takes Three Of
ficers; Windows Half
Mile Away Shattered

Camden, N. j., May 1l.-(UP)-
Naval authorities today sought the
cause of the explosion of hydro
gen-filled free balloon which killed
three officers six miles northeast of
here yesterday and shattered win
dows over a half-mile radius.
One OF the men was identified as
Ensign Gerge F. Homer, 81, OF
Jamaica Plains, Mass.
Fourth naval district officers said
the balloon was on a routine train
ing flight. The officers and three
aviation cadets, who left the basket
beneath the balloon few minutes
before the explosion, were being
taught how to handle blimps when
in motorless flight.
Several trial landings were made,
officers said, and the cadets alighted
in the last descent three miles from
the scene of the accident.
Cadets Donald T. Wood, Ipswich,
Mass, Darnley Eversley, Lynbrook,
L. l., and William Goldman, Of
Philadelphia, followed the balloon in
a truck with ground crew members.
They said the huge bag lowered SO
feet from the ground, then suddenly
exploded.
One officer was seen to leap and
the blazing wreckage fell on his
body. Wood and j. B. DorZinsky,
an enlisted man, dragged one off,
Ger from the fire and were burned.
The officer died short time later.
The others were trapped in the
basket.
