NORWEGIAN SABOTAGE
SENTENCES ON QUISLINGS. - PORT FACILITIES DAMAGED. (Rec. 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 7. The state of emergency in Norway now extends 700 miles, from neai Narvik southward. Reports from Stockholm say that the Norwegians particularly directed sabotage against the port facilities, which the Germans were constructing around Trondheim Fiord. They blew up an electrical transformer station at Tannrem, in Aasen, Fiord, last week and no electrical equipment throughout the district has operated since. The chief of police at Trondheim requisitioned 200 dogs to guard buildings against sabotage. The Oslo radio disclosed that the Quislingist Gauleiter was among the 70 already reported as having been executed. He was charged with sabotage of industrial installations. The special nasjonalsamling (Quisling Party) court sentenced eight prominent Quislingists to three years’ imprisonment for rationing offences-. The Quislingist authorities suppressed all reports of the case because the Chief of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of the Interior and other equally prominent Quislingists were implicated.
