the confessed executions as "a dia-

who carried out the execution would
be held responsible. Presumably
If the names of the judges and
executioners can be learned they
will be held as war criminals.

Congress May Delay
September Session 10
Study Reconversion
Some Leaders Reported
Fearing Haste May ResuI,
In Undesirable Bills
By the Associated Press.

Some congressional leaders are
considering postponing for a
week or two the scheduled Sep
tember S reconvening of Con-
gress.
The movement to hold up recall
of the lawmakers from their sum-
mer vacation is strongest on the
House side. There, prospects are
that there will be no reconversior
legislation ready until late next
month.
Senate Ma jority Leader Barkley
said he has not heard of such a
movement, but he added he is not
certain any measures will be ready
on his side by September S.
Recall Notices Unofficial.
Notices already have been sent
to all Senators and Representatives
informing them unofhciaIly that
Congress will reassemble the first
week in September instead of Oc-
tober g. But official notices have
not been dispatched. They are
slated to go out late next week.
Some House leaders believe it
would be unwise to reconvene until
a reconversion program is ready for
consideration.
They say they fear that clamor
for action might result in passage of
ill-considered or undesirable legisla-
tion.,
Chairman Manasco of the House
Expenditures Committee, which has
jurisdiction over three of the five
measures in the so-called recon-
version program" said he doubted

Queries on BETRAYAL
Nozi Document Says
Norwegian Official
Aided Invasion
By the Associated Press.

OSLO, Norway, Aug. 21.-vid-
kun Quisling wilted before the
anger of Presiding Judge Erik
Solem today as the justice sharp
ly demanded a "yes or no" an
swer to the question whether he
had been asked by German Ad-
miral Erich Raeder to "betray
your country"
With downward flicker of the
eyes, the pale defendant muttered
I cannot remember"
Reprimanded by the judge with
the order to answer yes or no.
Quisling blushed and finally whis-
pered No"
The judges questioning came
after German document was read
by the prosecution which said
Quisling had met the German ad-
miralty staff in 1899 and furnished
information about the Norwegian
coast before the 1910 invasion.
Denies Financial Aid.
Questioned about the financial
support of his party from Germany
early in 1910, Quisling replied
weakly, Il never heard about it,
Perhaps the Germans got YOU
mixed up with some one else" the
judge said.
The prosecution declared yester-
day that Quisling received SAC, ,OOo
from Germany before the invasion
Quisling, who became premier"
during the German occupation. is
on trial for his life charged with
military and civil treason, murder
on 16 counts, theft, receiving stolen
property and attempting to bring
Norway under a foreign power.
Prosecutor Annaeus Schjoedt said
the once high-ranking Nazi, Alfred
Rosenberg, had identified and
termed authentic all documents pro-
duced in the Quisling trial thus far,
including those of yesterday which
the state offered to support its ac-
cusation that Quisling helped the
Germans plan the invasion.
Quisling Offers Defense.
Faced with the task of disproving
the states charges of r,einvasion
treachery, Quisling rose in his own
defense on this second day of his
trial. But he had spoken only a
few words when the prosecutor cut
In with a new document.
Information given the Germans,
he alleged, was presented to Rae6er
then chief of the German Navy;
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, and
Col Gen. Gustav Jodl.
Schjoedt said Quisling was ac-
companied to the conference by
William Hagelin, Norwegian born
businessman who later became
Quisling's Minister of Interior.
Admits Obligations.
Quisling was interrupted repeat
edly and stubbornly by Judge Solem
and the prosecutor as he offered in
formation about his military career.
He was asked about his response
bility at the time of the 1910 in
vasion as a former major in the
Royal Norwegian Army.
Quisling said in vexed voice:
Certainly I had certain obliga-
tions, but I resigned as an oficer
In 1888 in protest against the de-
fense policy Of the government
Neither in peace nor in war could ]
serve as an oflcer under such q
defense policy"
He asserted that he always advo-
Gated strong military forces, but that
the kingdom never accepted this
view.
