BITTER STRUGGLE
CHURCH AND QUISLINGS (United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. copyrirnt) LONDON, March 23 The churches in Norway were crowded on Sunday, when the bitter struggle between the Church and the Quisling regime reached possibly its decisive stage, says the Stockholm newspaper Dagensnyheter. From almost every pulpit clergymen read a.manifesto that they will refuse to remain in' the service of the Church if education and other questions are not settled satisfactorily. The manifesto declared that the deprivation of parents’ responsibility for children and the violation of Divine rights and the parents’ conscience were directly involved. It added that the Church in the present circumstances was unable to hand over education to the State. Two hundred and eighty teachers were arrested in Oslo on Friday for failure to obey the Quisling regime. Similar action was taken elsewhere. Over 200 teachers, some aged over 60 years, have been sent to Northern Norway from the southern areas and made to do hard labour on a new railway, under a military guard.
