BEAT GERMANS
Anonymity ig Secret of Norway's Underground.
By CHARLES ARNOT United Press Staff Correspondent : OSLO, May 16—If you lived in Oslo, the chances are you wouldn't haye known your next door neighbor during four of the past five years of German occupation,” “You might have known him as Nels Nelson—the way he signed his checks. But you wouldn't have known his underground or “cover” name was Gustav Jensen. Anonymity ‘has been the secret of the Norwegian underground of home front as they call it in Oslo. And leaders still prefer to remain anonymous even though the threat . of German retaliation has virtually disappeared.

One prominent underground | newspaper editor estimated it would take a year or more for most! undergrounders to discover the true identity of those with whom they| worked. “We all worked in small links of about five men and women each,” he said. “Only one person from each link was permitted to contact one person from another: link. “That - way ' each underground worker knew only five or six other workers at most—all by assumed names, Often we met in garrets.or " cellars and those who contracted other links would wear masks to Beep their identity secret.”
Women Tortured
If the Gestapo caught one undergrounder he could honestly say he knew few others—sometimes none at all, In the basement of Gestapo headquarters at Victoria terrace in the center of Oslo the Germans tortured men and women. One of the most ‘popular tortures was to strip a! woman naked in front of several officers and give her the water treatment—dipping her in and out of freezing water to make her talk. Only two weeks ago the Germans found an ammunition cache in a

mountain resort to a new billet. Along the streets the French people smiled and waived to .our ragtag little parade. There were two guards leading and two in the rear, with the main body made up of the Sikhs, the Frenchmen and myself. We were variously laden with three soup tureens, a garbage cam, a pail and two large waterjugs, plus a great variety of Indian canteens which our 4th division friends

There was considerable indigna-
