OSLO CHIEF OF POLICE FOR REFUSING TO ARREST GIRLS. NEW REIGN OF TERRORISM & MURDER. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, ‘10.30 a.m.) LONDON, August 16. The Chief of Police at Oslo, Gunnar Eilifsen, was shot at dawn for not arresting Norwegian girls who refused to report for labour in Germany, says the Stockholm radio. Later this morning the whole police force was paraded before the Quisling Police Minister, Jonas Lie, and the Norwegion Gestapo Chief, General Rediess, who ordered them to sign a declaration of loyalty. The majority refused and they were told that they would be courtmartialled and shot if they did not sign by this afternoon. Later most of the force signed the declaration. Reuter’s Stockholm correspondent reports that all Norwegian officers have been sent to prison camps in Germany, on orders’ from Hitler.
