QuisIing Believed MoqoIomio Victim
By OLAF MYRE

Oslo, May 12-(UP)- A police physician said today that Maj. Vid- kun Quisling, busted puppet Prem fer of Norway. was mentally de- ranged, but not sufficiently so to escape trial for his life for treason.
 The doctor, who examined Quis- ling in jail yesterday, withheld full details of his findings for the court which win try him on charges of high treason, assisting the enemy and ordering the unlawful execu- tion of Norwegian citizens.
 Quisling was believed suffering from Megalomania. Ever since his arrest, he has complained constant ly of insufficient consideration of his high rank and his services" to Norway. He still considers himself the Header" and president" ol Norway.

LOCAL SERVICEMEN
 AWAIT DISCHARGE
Members of 20Sth Coast rtillery Believed Eligible
 Under System

Many Waterbury servicemen, who began service with the 102d Infantry and the 208th Coast Guard Artil- lerv. anti-aircraft regiments in 194l will be discharged it is believed, &C., cording to the point system an nounced by the War Department this week. Since 85 points are re- ouired for release, it is thought that these men have earned a total ot sl points.
 Some former National Guardsmer have been stationed in the Paclne area since the 102d left for that area in January, 1942. Now in the Philippines and veterans of at least four campaigns, the 203th units have been overseas since February 1942.
 Going overseas the latter part ol January, 1942, the 1o2nd is believed to have 89 points to its credit though most of these men have not seen combat duty.
 Soldiers will merit one point g month for every month in service since September 6, 1940, an extra point for every month overseas, ano five points for every decoration. De pendents also prove an important factor in enumerating points.
 Officers of these units may no be released as quickly as other since the War Department point out that their additional tralnlni and specialized skills may requlr their detention in the Army.

Army To Free
 |4-F Athletes

Washington, May 12 - tU.P0 - The War Department today ordered a review of the cases of a number of professional athletes inducted into the army in recent weeks des- pite their failure to meet physical standards.
 The War Department said the re- views would be made individually under a new policy in such cases and that some of the athletes would be discharged.
 The new policy provides that hereafter the cases of professional athletes rejected for physical dis- ability will not be subject to review by the War Department. The policy of reviewing all reJec- tions of professional athletes for physical reasons had brought charges that this group of selective service registrants was suffering discrimination. It has been charged that some professional athletes have been inducted merely to avoid the necessity of submitting a rejection decision to the War Department.

 In July, 1943, they decided to serve their adopted country in the military service. MT. Knudsen had served both in the Danish field ar tillery and in the Danish air corps. He felt he could qualify for the U. s. Marine Corps. However, he funk ed his physical examinations, and his wife passed and was sworn in. The day after she reported for duty at Fort Devens, Mass, on July 2l, 1943, she learned her father, Dr. H. o. Lange, former chief librarian of the Royal Library of Denmark, had died.
 Hopeful that she might be sent to European country near her birth place since she spoke five languages, Corporal Knudsen applied for over- seas duty. But the Army felt they could use her services better in New Guinea. Keeping her chin up like a good soldier, Sergeant Knudsen saw it through until downed by malaria
 However she reported her Army experience was invaluable since il helped her solve a problem she has struggled with during her many years of married life. ''Knut is such sleepyhead always had terrible time getting him up in the morn ing" she said laughlingly-casting . furtive glance at her husband. "Ir the future I'm going to use bugle.

APPLICATION FOR
 PERMIT ON FILE
Aldermen Expected to Rule on Coming Status of
 Homer Street

Oscar Stroberg and Sons have filed a petition with Building h. spector Hartley for a permit to build a factory on Homer street. Last week residents in that area eX- pressed opposition to the building of factory on Homer street by the Screw Machines Products Company at the City Hall, contenting that the erection of a factory there would depreciate residential property values.
 Should the Board of Aldermen decide to grant the residents re- quest for a change in zoning, it is probably the Stroberg firm will be granted the permit, anyway, since it will be granted before the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen.
 The hearing on the proposed change was held last Monday but the committee will not report until next Mondays meeting of the full board.
 The Stroberg firm plans to con- struct a building of cement blocks, with a 100-foot frontage and 50- foot depth, according to the appli- cation filed with the building in- | spector.
