LONDON, Dec. 2.-Under the
German Scourge the citizens Of
Northern Norway are a starving,
freezing, disease-ridden bands of
homeless wanderers, the Norwegian
minister of justice reported today
after a recent trip of investigation
to newly liberated portions of his
country.
The minister, Terje Void. said the
Arctic province of Finmark had
been burned, plundered and laid
waste until it is only a barren des-
ert "
Diphtheria and a form of dysen-
terry are epidemic in Kerkenes,
South Varanger, Vadsoe, North VAR
anger, Nesseby and Tana, he said,
and supplies must be sent into the
recently liberated areas much more
quickly than had been expected.
He said damage in East Finmark
lis greater than the most pessimis-
tic could imagine"
This is not an act of panic on
the part of the Germans" Mr.. Wold
added. Everything was planned
coolly, long in advance. In certain
districts the Germans acted with
extreme sadism."
| Mr., Void disclosed that Norwegian
civil authority had been re-estab-
lished. The Russians, who drove
the Germans out, have not inter-
fered with Norwegian administra-
ton in any way, he said.

Lost in Sinking of
Ship OFF Greenland

The four Army chaplains
who gave their own life belts to
frantic soldiers aboard sinking
troopship and died while praying
together with arms linked have
been awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross posthumously.
From the affidavits of survivors
of the S. S. Dorchester, the War
Department yesterday gave its Off
cial version of the story of a former
Washington rabbi, two Protestant
mlnlSters-one of them the son of
DR.. Daniel Polling, the famous
church leader-and a Catholic priest.

The story, told by DR.. Polling in
book about his son entitled Your
Daddy Did Not Die began in the
early morning of February 3, 1943.
when the S. S. Dorchester was tor
pedoed off Greenland.
With complete disregard of their
own safety" the War Department
said, the chaplains made their way
on deck and went among the con-
fused, fear-stricken men, encourag-
ing them, praying with them and
assisting them into lifeboats and life
jackets.
According to aff1davits of Dor
survivors, fear of the icy
waters had made many aboard al
most helpless, convinced as thev
were that such plunge could bring
only death.
The chaplains calmed their fears
and are given credit for saving many
men by persuading them to 60 over
board where there was a chance of
rescue. Throughout the whole epi-
sode, the chaplains set supreme ex-
ample of courage and calmness."
Many Of the survivors, the War
Department said. reported seeing
the chaplains standing together on
the Dorchesters forward deck.
handing out lifebelts from a box.
When the box was empty, each
chaplain removed his own priceless
life jacket and gave it to another
man. They must have known that
IN so dong they were sacrificing
their own lives.
The ship was sinking by the bow
when men in the water and in life
boats saw the chaplains link arms
and raise their voices in prayer.
They were still on the deck to-
gether praying when the stricken
ship made her final plunge"

diplomat, was reported last night
to be receiving top consideration for

After returning from the Japa-

came head of the State Depart
