Quisling Trial Case
Goes To Jury
OSLO, Norway, Sept. 7—4JP)—
The treason case against Quisling
went to the seven man judge and
jury panel after he concluded his
two-day oration in his own de
fense. “If my activity has been
treason, as the records of this case
charge, than in the name of God
I hope for Norway’s sake, that
many of her sons will become the
same kind of traitor as I have
been, without, however, being
thrown into prison,’’ the former
puppet dictator declared. The ver
dict is not expected before next
Wednesday.

Gen. Wainwright
Will Tell Of
Jap Beatings
HONOLULU, Sept. 7 — </P) —
Whatever General Wainwright
has to say about his physical beat
ng by the Japs will have to be
said officially to the War Depart
ment and the people back home,
the hero of Corregidor said.
Wearing his four stars, his new
full generalcy, on a new shirt,
whose collar was far to big for j
his thin neck, his haggard face,
deeply lined he said gently that
Maj. Gen. Albert Jones “shouldn’t
have talked about that.” In the
next breath he said “I’ll have
plenty to say on the subject when
I get to Washington, to officials
I mean.”
Even that came only at the end
of a press conference, at which he
S reminded reporters he had been
deafened by artillery fire, and said
questioning would probably be
futile. Then when reporters show
ed him a copy of a Honolulu pa
| per reporting that Gen. Jones,
j who was released with his fellow
i prisoner, had just arrived in San
Francisco, had said that Gen.
Wainwright had been beaten and
slapped by the Japs.
General Wainwright is sched
uled to lead a parade in San Fran
cisco Sunday and arrive in Wash
ington Monday.
