Dr. Delgado To Lecture On Geography Of Brazil Story Of Treachery Which Doomed Norway Revealed For First Time The Daily last night secured permission of the Chicago Daily News to reprint the following copyrighted dispatch by Leland Stowe, who regards it as the most significant h e has written in his long career as a foreign observer. It is the first uneensored story of the German invasion of Norway. By LELAND STOWE STOCKHOLM, April 15.-For the first time the story behind Germany's paralyzing 12-hour conquest of Nor- way on April 9 can be told. Between midnight and noon on that bewilder- ing day, Norway's capital, all her principal seaports and her most stra- tegic coastal defenses fell into Ger- man hands like an overripe plum. Norwegian people were stunned as the Belgian people must have been stunned 4n 1914 and most of them still have not the slightest concep- tion of how this incomprehensible tragedy could have happened. I spent these hours in Oslo, to- gether with the only other Ameri- can newspaper men who were on the spot-Warren Irvin, of the Na- tional Broadcasting Co., and Edmund Stevens, of the Christian Science Monitor-and we ourselves could scarcely believe the evidence of our own- eyes. Remained In Oslo Four Days But I had to remain in Oslo through four days of German occu- pation to learn how this miracle of lightning naval and military occu- pation was made possible. Then I could scarcely believe my ears. After that, with the last train connections to Sweden severed, Irvin and myself decided to try somehow to get across the border. It was the only possible way to give a detailed account of the most astonishing thing that has happened since the second world war began.. Norway's capital and great sea- ports were not captured by armed force. They were seized with unpar- alleled speed by means of a gigantic conspiracy which undoubtedly must rank among the most audacious, most perfectly oiled political plots of the last century. By bribery and extraordinary in- filtration on the part of Nazi civilian and defense officials, the German dictatorship built a Trojan horse in- side of Norway., Then, when the hour struck, the German plotters spiked the guns of most of the Norwegian navy and reduced its formidable fort- resses to impotence. Key Men Controlled Absolute control of a handful of key men in administrative positions and the navy was necessary to turn the trick and everything had been faultlessly prepared. The conspir- acy was about 90 per cent according to schedule. Only in two or three places was it marred by unexpected hitches, but Norway's sea gates were already wide open. For the success of the German plan, the capture of three key cities was essential. These were Oslo, Ber- gen and Narvik. It is known that Nar- vik was betrayed to the Germans by its commanding officer. How Ber- gen's harbor defenses were taken remains a mystery, as far as I can learn. But most important of all to the Nazi plot was the immediate domination of Oslo Fjord, with its mighty fortresses, and the forcing of its virtually impregnable narrows at Drobak, together with the seizure of the great Norwegian naval base at Horten. Only in this manner could the Ger- mans penetrate to Oslo and deliver an almost irreparable blow to Nor- way's parliamentary government. To seize all of Oslo Fjord and force its narrows would have appeared im- possible to any foreign government except the Nazi dictatorship. But, by methods even more astonishing- ly efficient than those which it used against Austria and Czecho-Slovak- ia, the inconceivable was accomplish- ed. Until now, I believe, the out- side world has had to guess how it was done. To understand the conspiracy's scope, one must go back somewhere near the climax of the plot. In Oslo I learned, on the most reliable auth- ority, that Germany's sea forces and troop ships had sailed from German ports for their Norwegian adventure during the night of April 4--three full days before the British mined the upper Norwegian coast between Bergen and Narvik. I also was in- formed with impressive assurance, that the German army chiefs had strongly opposed Fuehrer Adolf Hit- ler on the plan to invade Norway because they insisted that communi- cation lines for an army of occupa- tion in Norway would be most dan-, gerously limited and exposed. Nazi radical leaders supported Der Fueh- rer and the decision was taken against the regular army chiefs' counsels. The Night Of April 5 On the night of April 5, while the German fleet and transports al- ready were steaming toward Norway, an event of enormous historical im- portance occurred in Oslo and, until now, probably never has been report- ed. The German legation held a soiree to which it invited 200 persons representing Norway's most influen- tial personalities. All the members of the government were invited, as well as many officers of the defense forces, leading bankers, shipping ex- ecutives, 'and industrialists. The in- vitation emphasized the importance of the soiree by reading, "White ties, uniforms and decorations." Despite the great formality im- posed, it was no official dinner. Nor- way's elite had been invited to see an "unusually interesting film." It proved to be the motion picture "Baptism of Fire," depicting in the most graphic details Germany's aerial destruction in Poland. For more than an hour the distinguished Nor- wegian taudience sat in icy silence, gripped by the horror of many of the scenes. Afterward, the German minister explained that the film was not a war but a peace film, since it showed what nations which elected peace would save their people from suffering. The Norwegians left the German legation that night filled with gloomy, ominous thoughts. In Oslo, I learned that Maj. Vid- kun Quisling, leader of the pro-Nazi Norwegian party called the Camling, and now premier of the so-called na- tional government set up after the German occupation, was in Berlin at the time the film was shown in Oslo, and while the expedition was being organized. He returned to Oslo on April 6. The next night the British sowed mine fields below Narvik and on April 8 Berlin's press flamed against this provocation. In th first hours of April 9, Norway's naval de- fenses were bertayed to the German fleet and the first German troops landed at Forenbo, Oslo's airport, a few hours after daybreak. Capture Of Oslo Fjord This brings us to the methods by which Oslo Fjord and Oslo itself were captured from the sea early in the morning hours of April 9. The Germans could not enter without controlling the vital Norse naval base at Horten. At 1:30 o'clock that morning-3%y/z hours before Berlin's ultimatum was handed to the foreign minister, Dr. Halvdan Koht-the commander of three Norwegian war- ships at Horten received an urgent message. It supposedly was signed by Dr. Koht himself and accepted as coming direct from the government via the ministry of foreign affairs. It ordered Norwegian ships not to; fight against the German warships which were about to come up the fjord and to put all their men ashore immediately-without their -arms. Without questioning the origin of the order, the commander ordered all his men ashore except stokers and messmen. From here on a slight hitch which was costly for the Germans occurred. The Norse minelayer Olaf Trygva- son unexpectedly had put in for re- pairs the previous evening. Its pres- ence apparently was unknown to the leaders of the conspiracy in Oslo. This was the only Norwegian war vessel which did not receive the or- der and so remained in condition to fight. Afterward the Norwegian sailor who verified these develop- ments declared, "It was only through treason that the Germans got in." Oslo Orders Mobilization Before the Germans' capture of Horten, the Oslo government had ordered mobilization as a precaution. Accordingly, before daybreak on April 9, scores of young Norwegians re- portedI at the Horten railroad sta- tion. They immediately were sur- rounded by the German marines' landing party and placed aboard oth- er German ships which came up. When the German warships ap- proached the formidable Oskarborg fortress at the narrows above Horten, so it was stated there afterward, they radioed the fort's commander' not to, shoot. According to report, (Continued on Page 4) Daily Given Pacemaker, Award Again All - American Collegiate Press Honors Presented To DailyFor Fifth Time Five Other Papers Get Highest Rating Again receiving All-American hon- ors, The Michigan Daily was desig- nated yesterday as one of six col- lege newspapers throughout the country to receive the coveted Pace- maker ratings, made each year by the Associated Collegiate Press, na-' tionwide college publications organ- ization. The Pacemaker designation, now won by The Daily for the fifth time, is given each year by the Press' Al-American Critical Service to those newspapers which are consid- ered the outstanding collegiate pub- lications in the> country regardless of size of school, time or method of publication. Four dailies and two weeklies received the ,high rating. Other Papers Honored Beside The Daily, Pacemaker awards went to: The Cauldron, Fenn College, Cleveland, .; The Daily Cardinal, University of Wisconsin; The Daily Texan, University of Texas; The Echo Weekly, Milwaukee State Teachers College, Milwaukee, Wis.; and The Minnesota Daily, University of Minnesota. Seventy-six college newspapers re- ceived regular honor ratings for out- standing work in various divisions of the critical service. The Pace- makers were selected from this group. Selections were made by the judges from more than 400 news- papers. Basis Of Judgments All the papers submitted were classed by the judges on the bases of news- value -and sources, typogra- 6hy, news writing aid editing. head- lines and makeup, department pages and special features. The Pacemaker award, known in newspaper circles as "summa cum laude" rating, is given by the Asso- ciated Collegiate Preses to those col- lege .ournals which are adjudged best of all college papers submitted in the 1940 contest. The Daily last year was one of only four papers to win the ratings. Spring Parley To Be Attended By Ex-Leaders Prof. Paul Henle To Open First Session Here Friday With Keynote Address Spring Parley plans are rapidly taking shape with only four days before the opening session, Daniel Huyett, '42, general chairman, indi- cated yesterday, with the announce- ment that several former Parley leaders who have achieved varying degrees of fame since leaving the University will be present for the discussions and panels. The Parley itself, titled "Democ- racy Through the Students' 'Ayes,' " -will formally get under way with an opening session at 3:30 p.m. Friday, to be keynoted by Prof. Paul Henle of the philosophy department. But before the program really begins, there will be several luncheons and meetings of both faculty and student members of the Parley committees. Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, counsellor in religious education, and associa- ted with the Parley since its incep- tion ten years ago, has made a definite attempt to bring back many former members to this Parley as part of a planned tenth anniversary celebration. Faculty committeemen and Dr. Blakeman will meet at a luncheon at noon Friday and Martin Wagner, '34, former Parleyman, a Rhodes scholar and a teaching fellow here, now with the National Labor Rela- tions Board regional office at Char- leston, W. Va., will give a short talk. Two luncheons have been arrang- ed for Wednesday; one for the four panel chairmen, and one for the stu- dent' members of the nanel at the n n r. nuii i i i i 5 Student Senatet Positions Open, For Petitionng Newly-Reorganized Senate Will Fill Sixteen Posts In ElectionsApril 26 Aspirants to the newly-reorganized Student Senate were urged yesterday to register petitions for candidacy in the cqming elections Friday, April 26, between 4 and 6 p.m. today through Friday at Room 302 Union, Stuart Knox, '40, and Norman Schorr, '40, directors of elections said yester- day. Eligibilty cards and a 50 cent fee must accompany the petitions which must bear the names of no less than six students, the directors pointed out. Under a new set of by-laws adopted by the Senate several weeks ago, the membership is to be 30 instead of 32 as formerly. It is hoped, the directors said, to make the Senate a more continuous body under the new system for members will serve for three semesters rather than two and She Who Hated Men Bows To Matrimony The co-ed who once said she hated men in 83 different ways has found enough redeeming features to marry one of them, the campus learned yesterday. Announcement of the marriage of Marian E. Phillips, '42, the girl who hated men, to Einar A. Almdale, '40E, president of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, was made in Ann Arbor during spring vacation. The mar- riage, which was announced by Miss Phillips' mother, was performed in Toledo, March 21. Dohfan Deming Funeralls Today Detroit Freshman Student Killed In Auto Accident Services will be held at 11 a.m. today in Arborcrest Cemetery for Dohfan Jane Deming, '43, who died Sunday, April 7, in Grace Hospital, Detroit, of a fractured skull received in an automobile accident the pre- vious day. Miss Deming, who lived at 10303 Beaconsfield Rd., Detroit, was the only child of Dr. Harte E Deming, Chinese Relief Drive Planned Oriental Music To Feature Program April 29-30 To secure money for medical re- lief for China, a unique program of oriental music and entertainment will be held in Ann Arbor April 29 and o 30 under the sponsorship of Chinese studentshon the University campus.
