Supposedly, thae'immediate cause of the ar- rst was the fire :wlu h damaged a Part o the 'Civersity's AEula audtorium, favorite ralying place for the Nazis during thefpast three ymeas.

The students were taken in afr-ks and' earfs to theAula auditorium whe Gestapo (hief -Wilhelm Riediess spoke to them. me said the Oslo students had "during the whole occupation" formed a resistance group, that the number of sabotage acts had increased as well as the number of students helping to lead in these organizations and participating in the pub- lication of illegal-,inewspapers. FTT IS ESTIMATED that there were about 4,000 students enrolled at the university. About 1,00 of them were womten. As only 1,356 stu- dents were arrested, rn #ny-fare still at large. Most of them, the "News of Nrway" says, are believed fleeing for the Swedish border. Many escaped because policemen, not in favor with the action, warned students. In fact, some of the these police officers have been arrested for "exressing ,dissatisfaction" Some of the students were w arned by an underground organization. Most of the members of the faculties of the university were arrested with the students. Ard Dr. Didrik Arup Seip, president of the university, has been- a political pri96rier of the Nazis since. September, 1941. J6ib Sa~ffAds, re~ident of the Student As- sociation in Oslo in 1940, said in London after the raid, " The Germans have given up all hope of Naziffying the Norwegian people. This is the reason for their now having pounced upon the university, and for the students this may well serve asa reason for pride. It is no longer the south wind which blows over Norway; it is the storm from east and west which sweeps over the German Empire and betokens the dawn we are waiting for" A Norwe ian niWrgroun. newspaper wrote, "If they h -, t e,'Yculd scare Peoie by this. they have fle-a terrible mistake.

The bigger the following Mr. Hearst develops, the larger the armies and military establishments the Russians will believe themselves to need in the west. DEAD TEND STREET With every hostile ry Mr. Hearst sets up against the Russians, the more the Rs ians w ill be persuaded that they can deend only on them- F-lve- fe'n :rtecton. and that they had better tqk bases while the taking is p0ood. Does anyone seriously imaine tat whlen a large chain of American newspapers says: "We hate you!" the Russian reply can possibly be: "Well, then, in that case, we suppos we don't really need those fortifications on our old eastern frontier" The more cnverts M. Hearst obtains for his special brand of defense of Poland, the worse must Poland's prospects become. We don't now yet what the final answer for Poland will be; in this piece I have tried only to show that Mr. Hearst has no answer; hie is merely selling tickets for a short trip up a blind alley. We must look elsewherie,in the days ahead, for the .solution.

Representative Summers, for some reason, has been busy-as-a-bird-dog for the insurance com- panies and, since he is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, the Supr-eme -'ourt jus- tices were inclined to view his request sympa- thetically. However, some one also tipped off forthrighit Senator Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming and hard- hitting Congressman Charles La Follette of Indi- ana. They oppose the insurance companies just as vigorously as Sumners champions them, and they also wanted to argue before the cour-t. The nine learned men hesitated a dlay. Then benign Chief Justice Stone informed the Con- gressmen in his kindliest manner that it would be badl precedent for members of Congr ess, to, hold a debating society as Friends; of1 the C'ourt. With a touch of humor he added: "I have trouble enough keeping politics off the court." -(Copyright, 1944, United Features Syndicate) Letters to the rditoi- mzust be tpe- iiritteia,, doabe-:pacct, on erne sid of the pec only and silted with 'th rar tiid idr'-: o 1 he writer, i~i . t qiei-1 'ifor ano~inyon- piilication's wil >e met RXA1EP. hNT etorial Mis J1nnie F'itch li as u ipbaided labor leaders for ci iakh is a [tr over Geeral lvi a -sh IlPs si iemen!.that United States labor- troubles have provided fafor iaz- l rc-i i- incia..
