No one was in Storen, therefore no one could confirm or || deny the German story. > There the correspondents left the opinions or the latest rumor on the I thought maybe the German commander himself could settle the Question. So late Wednesday I de- cided to telephone him at Roeros, the reported location of the German high command. From “somewhere in Sweden” I put in a call to the Roeros telephone exchange and got & reply in an hour. It was a young woman, the local telephone operator, Who answered. I asked her to let me speak with the German commander. She said, “No, the Germans are not here.” ‘Where are they?” I asked. “I don’t know. They went south |early this morning.

The student would not give me his name because the Germans might get hold of it and, talking as he did, would not be very healthy, if they captured him. He cursed the Germans and the treachery of the Norwegian Nazis in good, round English cuss words. And in the middle of these tirades his voice suddenly ceased. We were not cut off. I could still hear & noise at the other end of the line. I shouted, “Hello! Hello! Are you there?” I repeated this, and then I heard a rattling noise—something crashed and the phone went dead. I tried to contact the Roeros ex- change again, but they told me there was no answer.

GAINESVILLE, Ga., May 3.—The Federal Court trial of Representa- tive B.
