Hitler Demands Norway Accept Nazi Protection
Stockholm, Sweden, April 17. — (UP)—German and Norwegian forces had been fighting for more than four hours when Germany presented demands to the Norwegian government that it accept German protection, the Norwegians charged yesterday in a formal statement on "the German attack on Norway."
The statement, approximating a diplomatic "white book," said that the German demands were presented to foreign minister Halv丹 Koht at 5 am. last Tuesday, but that German warships entered the Oslo fjord about midnight and that at 12:45 am. a report was received of the warships and Norwegian batteries exchanging fire. Other German warships had arrived at west coast points, it was said.
After detailing German demands and negotiations, which ended in Norway's decision to fight, the statement ended:
A. "Barbaric War"
"The barbaric war which German authorities in this way continued had compelled the Norwegian government to keep secret the name of the place where it may be.
"But resistance has continued and the government has received assurances of military help from the Allied western powers.
"The Norwegian government believes that by cooperation with the two countries it will succeed in saving Norway for the Norwegian people."
The German minister told Koht that the Allies intended to occupy Narvik and other Norwegian points, the statement said, and that therefore Germany had begun "certain military operations to occupy strategically important places" and "thereafter would take over the defense of Norway against Britain and France."
Too Weak to Resist
Norway, the minister said, was not strong enough to resist the Allies and would not do so anyway, according to the statement.
Braeur, the minister, then presented a note containing 13 demands including that the Norwegian army cooperate with the German army, that fortifications be turned over to German troops, that mine fields should be disclosed, that all communications should be controlled by the Germans, that mail of all Baltic countries must be censored by Germany, that newspapers and the radio be put under German censorship, and that all proclamations and orders of German authorities must be published immediately, it was said.
Koht said that the Norwegian government as a whole would have to make any decision, and adhered to this despite Braeur's insistence that immediate action was necessary. Then Germany attacked Oslo, it was said, and the King and government had to flee.
Tried to See Kaakon
Next the minister sought an audidence with King Haakon, the statement said, and a delegation was named to negotiate with Germans.
The King saw Brauer at Elverum, it was said—after Norwegian troops had repulsed attacking Germans so that the king could reach the town. Brauer then demanded the appointment of a government in which Germany could have confidence, with Bidkun Quisling as premier. The king refused, on the ground that Quihling did not enjoy the confidence of the Norwegian people. Brauer, after saying that Hitler insisted on Quisling, withdrew to Eidsvold. Foreign Minister Koht then telephoned Brauer that the king was unable to approve of Quisling or a Quisling government, it was said, and added that Norway intended to resist the Germans "as long as possible."
Correction
Through some misunderstanding, the Daily Kansas yesterday quoted me as saying that Mary Noel had already been awarded a trip to the Drake Relays.
The Relays Queen has not yet been selected by the Drake University yearbook editor. Miss Noel, however, is the Jayhawker Magazine's choice for K.U.'s entry.

Nine Fellowships Granted Students
Fellowships or scholarships for the purpose of advanced study at other universities have been awarded to nine Kansas University students, six of whom are now enrolled in the Graduate School, according to notices received this week by Dean Ellis B. Stouffer, head of the Graduate School.
The scholarships varied in the amount of tuition or other expenses awarded the students. If accepted, the students will begin study at the respective schools in September.

big man of P.S.G.L., didn't "have much to say about this tie."
If Farmer remains the loser after Friday's recount, he still retains a seat on the council as representative-at-large.
Regardless of League loss in the presidential race, P.S.G.L. will wield the power in the M.S.C. again next year. With Farmer's seat on the council, the League will have 11 votes on its side of the table. To match this, only 9 men will represent the Rising Sun wishes. McKay will find himself merely chairing a P.S.G.L. council.
P. S.G.L. Can't Lose Power
Should the recount salvage two more Farmer votes, McKay will take a regular council post and the parties will be in a 10-10 tie. Farmer's deciding vote as president will still throw the decision to P.S.G.L.
Out of 27 officers elected yesterday, the League came through with 14 successes.
Nearest thing to the tight race this year was in 1935 when P.S.G.L. elected Lyman Field by 4 votes.
