from moving into Sweden, bag and baggage. At Setkogen, a sparsely populated area, the village schoolmaster arrived one morning to an empty schoolroom. Seventy of the townsmen had departed from Sweden. Germans have retaliated with arrests in border communities of hostages, to prevent Norwegians from leaving. The Quisling department of culture has now banned the sale of all British and American works of fiction with one exception—the non-war theme comic strips. . . . Lists of deaths among Norwegians sent to forced labor in Germany read like war casualty reports. . . . In Bergen, a group of civilians were fired upon for alleged failure to halt when challenged by German guards.

Belgium Belgian workers who used to spend their days off angling from the banks and rivers and canals for fish have found this pastime too dangerous. The fishermen were rounded up by German patrols and deported to work in Germany. Pure soap, the Belgian news serv-

ice reports, exists no longer in the country. An ersatz product containing earth has taken its place. Tobacco and winter coal rations have been reduced. In Antwerp, the German authorities broke the famous gem vaults and confiscated diamonds to relieve the industrial diamond shortage in German war industry.

| Holland

The office of war information, overseas branch, reports that the Dutch presented a solid front of anti-Nazi activity in the general strike which began April 20. The report was carried in “Knickerbocker weekly,” organ of the Free Netherlands. The strike was motivated, principally, by the German announcement that all Dutch former soldiers were to be rounded up .as prisoners of war, ostensibly to prevent them from helping an allied invasion. The strike closed factories, shops and public buildings. Farmers left their fields. Busses and streetcars stopped dead in the streets. Only utility services and the automatic

Railway workers warned Dutch patriots not to travel since attacks were to be made on troop and freight trains. Farmers who are obliged to turn over a given number of cattle and hogs to the Nazis were advised to slaughter their

livestock and hide the carcasses. #8 = 8

SEEK TO END BAN ON PLEASURE DRIVING

WASHINGTON, June 21 (U. P.). —The American Automobile Association, charging that the ban on pleasure driving contains the seeds of political persecution, today urged Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown to outlaw the ban permanently, . “We are not of course asking for

1a wide .open throttle for pleasure

driving,” said A. A. A. President Thomas P. Henry. “No talk of pleasure driving on one and onehalf gallons of gasoline a week is simply unreasonable and fatuous.” He warned that enforced idleness is accelerating the deterioration of millions’ of automobiles in eastern states; that the ban is a confession that coupon rationing has broken down and created an impossible euforcement situation.
