Quisling’s Outraged Dignity
LONDON, May 9. The Norwegian collaborator, Vidkon Quisling, and several members of his Cabinet to-day gave themselves up at the Oslo police station.
Quisling was pale and shaking all oyer. He knocked at the door of the famous Gestapo prison in Oslo at 9 a.m. and announced that he wished to place himself at the disposal of the authorities.
When Quisling surrendered he was annoyed that his suitcase was taken from him, states the Oslo correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain. The suitcase contained chocolate and a bottle of brandy. He objected to being locked in a cell, and said: Statesmen like me should not have an ordinary cell. ’ ■ The police told him all prisoners were treated alike. For some time he delivered speeches about “all the good things I did for Norway.’’ Charles Hoff, Quisling’s sports leader and an Olympic Games pole vaulter, was arrested late last night in his home in Oslo. The Propaganda Minister, Fuglesang, has also surrendered to the authorities.
