QUISLING PARTY

REPORTED TO BE CRACKING. LONDON, June 9. Reuter's Stockholm correspondent stated: It is reported that a considerable number of high officii als of Quisling’s Nasjonal Samling Party fled recently from Norway to Sweden in search of safety. They form only part of a massive flight of Quislingites from the party.' The flight has been a feature of life in Norway since the Allied victory in Tunisia. Names of high officials cannot be given, but one is among the oldest members of the party, and is the Chief Quisling Commissar of the Norwegian Labour Movement. Another is the Chief Quisling in a province northward of Oslo. _. Other reports says Major Quist, Commander of the Quisling Volunteers on the eastern front, who recently returned to Oslo on leave, refused to return to the front. A number of less important eastern front volunteers fled to Sweden. Observers believe that the Quisling Party will collapse within a month of the opening of a second front.
