GERMANS IN NORWAY CZECH HOSTAGES TAKEN (11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 19. All United States citizens in Norway have been arrested “in reprisal for the arrest of German citizens in the United States,” says the Stockholm correspondent of The Times. It is reported from Oslo that all male Jews over the age of eight years in Trondheim have been taken into custody and placed in concentration camps. Czech circles in London, referring to Dr. Carl Frank’s announcement that the relatives of Czech agitators who have taken refuge in Britain have been interned, declared that this is the first time the Germans have taken hostages in Czech territory. The German practice hitherto has been to invent criminal charges as excuses for executing innocent persons. Those executed frequently had been previously taken into custody ’in concentration camps for two years or more. The Prague radio announced that “because of the assassination of Heydrich, the Czech universities will be closed indefinitely. Any Czech student wishing to continue studies must attend the Reich universities."
