Before he became known as toy man. he
piled up an astonishing record as an ath-

track-and-held man. and football player.
He once chinned himself 63 times and there

to pay his way through Yale by giving shows

Norway's commies
Experience Rift;
Titoism Blamed

Internal riffs in the Norwegian
Communist Party have broken in
to public view in the wake of the
recent general elections where
Communists lost every one of their
eleven parliamentary mandates.
Charged with "Titoism" and in
the words of the party release
"Trotskyist bourgeois-nationalist-
ic" tactics, party leaders headed
by former Secretary General Pc
der Furubotn and Vice Chairman
Roald Halvorsen were expelled in
dramatic palace-revolution. At
that time a group of young COM
munists headed by former MP Jo-
han Strand-J ohanSen stormed into
Oslo party headquarters demand
ing the custer of "Titoists" who
they charged had supported Furu-
botn in bitter party feud of long
standing, with party president
Emil Lovlien.
That evening, 300 top commun-
ists-with the exception of Furu-
botn who has dropped from sight
met in Oslo for a hectic political
spectacle. In a near-hysterical IL
rade, Strand-JohanSen termed Flu
rubotn the greatest traitor in his
tory" and alleged that che has
connections with the American
Embassy and the Secret Service
and one of his men had plans to
murder me during the elections. :"
Further allegations were made to
secret military organization. In
the end, some so or so Furubotn
supporters filed from the meeting
and it appeared that the rumpus
was to be confined to party circles.
The following day, however,
Norwegian Justice Minister Gun
dersen stated that the police are
presently Investigating these ref
erences to secret armed unit.
A few hours later, broomwielder
Strand-Johansens neighbors were
awakened in the dead of the night
by shouts of Help, they're going
to kill me-" The party leader had
suffered a nervous collapse and
is presently being treated in the
psychaitric department of an Oslo
hospital.
