.Quis|ing Leaders
Secretaries Revealed
As Morse Heroines
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star War Correspondent.

OSLO, June (By Wireless).-
Heroines of the five-year Morse un-
derground resistance movement are
the blond secretaries of German and
Qulsling leaders who daily after
work gave the Patriots full accounts
of their employers letters and phone
calls. including the most secret.
Some were caught and tortured.
One girl, who has just returned
to Oslo, was private secretary tor
year to that arch fiend, Gauleiter
Terboven. Her choicest souvenir is
1912 Christmas present-a gilt
edged edition of Heine's poems with
an inscription from Terboven "in
recognition of your loyalty and ef-
f1clency." But there was hardly a
night when she didn't furnish the
days complete transactions, includ-
ing orders for arrests and telephone
calls to Nazi leaders in Berlin.
Rescued in Bold Coup.
Finally she was caught and put
through the torture chamber. Her
arms and a leg were broken. Then
she was ordered shot. She was
rescued by resistance leaders in a
bold coup and got over the Swedish
border, thence to England, where
she married an Raj pilot and re-
turned with the government, still
barely able to walk.
An underground leader, hidden in
Sweden two years, told me today
that every week he got a full report
OF the transactions in the ofiice of
the Quisling ministry OF justice from
the minister's trusted secretary, who
was never caught. The reports in
cluded many arrest orders, enabling
the intended victims to change their
hiding places. 81
A Morse chauffeur for the Ger
man general stan used his staff
car ats night to run patriots over
the border. All pretended to be vio-
lent Nazis and carried on their
work while loyal citizens refused
to speak to them or spat at them
on the streets. They are now get

impossible for the Quislings to get
members.
Flaunted Their Treason"
The patriot secretaries Haunted
their pretended treason, accepting
costly gifts, accompanying their
bosses to night clubs, picking their
pockets while drunk. They were
known as Patriots to only one OF
two men to whom they made re.

families.

one might be hurt"
Mr.. Donnell told them he was
willing to meet with any commit
tee they might select to talk over
their complaints.
The two waited for a time but
received no answer.
They telephone Col. Beverly Ober,
superintendent of State police. and
asked that he order his men to
take charge of the institution. He
complied with their request.
BY this time, the rioters had
started to chant: EATS, eats, eats, "
and punctuate it with shouts of
I'VE want something to eat"
1t. william H. Weber of the
State police armed five of the ap-
proximately 30 Statetroopers then
on the scene with sawed-off shot
guns. The others took of their
sidearms and took up their clubs
Wearing steel helmets and under
orders from 1t. Weber to shoot if
necessary, a detachment of State
police was led by the shotgun
squad to the second floor where they
were met with a shower of hot
| water.
Rushed From Stairs.
The troopers went first to the
west wing cell block. where most of
the prisoners obeyed orders to get
into their cells.
The troopers turned their atten-
ton then to the north wing, and as
they moved through a door into the
block-where the cells are arranged
in three tiers-a group of rioters
rushed down the stairs toward them
from the top tier.
There were IS to 20 men in the
group, backed up by larger crowd
few steps behind them.
When they failed to heed 1t.
Weber's order to halt, he shouted to
the troopers to fire. Three shots
were fired and the rioters began
to retreat. Their retreat was only
temporary, however, and the first
shots were followed by five more.
The last burst of fire cleared the
aisle in the cell block, but another
shot was fired when some prisoners
again began to emerge into the
corridors.
Police Stay On.
The three final bursts were fired
at Negro prisoners in the east and
west wings when they refused to
obey orders to 60 to their cells and
stop throwing water.
Lights were restored on the second
floor at TIA pm. and most OF the
prisoners were quiet. At the request
of prison officials, the State police
remained in charge of the institu-
ton.
