NORWAY TENSION

OPPOSITION TO QUISLING (United-Press Association—By Electric .Telegraph—Copyright) ■ LONDON, December 2. C orrespondeuts of both “The Times’’ ajul the “Daily Telegraph” emphasise that there was a development of Norwgian tension to fever heat after a bomb attempt against Major Quisling; The “Daily Telegraph’s” Helsinki correspondent says; “An outbreak ol war is feared. Quislingites were again subjected to insults later in the da.) when Major Quisling attempted to address a meeting at Sarpsborg, amid incessant cat : cals, whistling, threats, and other interruptions. A hand-to-hand conflict followed, resulting in four arrests, and many were taken to hospital. A Nazi official, Lunde, arranged to address a meeting in Narvik. He found the .hall empty. A hostile crowd outside manhandled Nazis as they came out. The police report increased attacks against Nazis and a growing number of kidnappings. “The Times” Stockholm correspondent says: “Internal strife in Nonvrfy is rapidly becoming more bitter. The Quislingites threaten sterner measures. They have" banned all badges except those approved by .Major Quisling as a result of the Norwegians wearing badges of various societies betraying Loyalist sympathies. The authorities are unable to keep pace with their ingenuity to achieve this purpose.”
