TWO MAIN FRONTS DEVELOP IN NORWAY
 
       Important battles apparently are under way around Trond-
heim and north of Oslo. Above Trondheim the Germans said they
had routed an Allied force near Namos (1) and landed reinforce-
ments at Inderoey, while the British asserted they had resisted
a German attack there. Below Trondheim, according to Berlin,
Andalsnes (2) was heavily bombed and off the coast warships and
transports were hit. Berlin also contended the railway junction
atDombaas (3) had been destroyed.
     In the rectangle formed by Lillehammer, Rena, Elverum and
Hamar (4) a crucial struggle was going on. The British and Nor-
wegians, moving down east of Lake Mjoesen, were said to have 
reached Moely, while the Germans, moving up west of the lake,
may have taken Lillehammer. Either side, depending on the
strength of the foe, may be cut off in this region.
       Airfields at Oslo (5) were bombed by Allied planes, as was
the Nazi air base at Aalborg (7). In the Skagerrak (6) a naval
battle was reported.
