QUISLING DEFIED
STOCKHOLM, July 27
Six Norwegian bishops of Oslo issued a declaration announcing the formation of an independent Norwegian Church, in direct defiance of Quisling, who had dismissed these six bishops. They declare the Norwegian clergy will fight for the principles of their new temporary Church. Their administration will disregard all of Quisling's anti-Church orders and they will be responsible for all Church affairs, which will continue normally, but without contact with the State.
All clergy will continue to administer their offices whether Quisling has dismissed them or not. The declai ition also professes loyalty to the German occupation force "within ' the framework of International Law."
