COPENHAGEN POLICE
ALL INTERNED BY NAZIS Rec. 11 a.m. LONDON, January 17. The Germans this morning interned the entire police force of Copenhagen, totalling 5000, and also arrested numerous other policemen and occupied all the police stations; according to the Free Danish Press service, says the British United Press correspondent in Stockholm. It is expected that Germans will replace the Danish police. It is not known at present whether similar action is being taken in other parts of Denmark. Within the past week acts of sabotage against the Germans in Copenhagen have shown a sharp increase. Danish sources belieye that the German action in interning the Copenhagen police is the result of the present wave of sabotage, says the Stockholm corresr/ndent of the Associated Press of Great Britain. It was long j expected, because the Germans had been accusing the Danish police of not co-operating in combating saboteurs.
As a result of touching a 400-volt cable at Steel Distributors' yard, Thorndon, at 6.25 p.m. yesterday, G. Morton, 23 Pretoria Street, Lower Hutt, apprentice fitter, fell from a crane. He received burns to his right arm and hand, and an injury to his head and face and concussion when he fell.
