reported Friday in quarters close tc
the government following an an-
nouncement that former Premiei
Milan Stoyadinovic would be in-
terned in a mountain fastness under
heavy guard
Thase sources indicated that suc-
cess of the plot had hinged on en-
try of German troops into Yugo-
slavia.
Stoyadinovic was taken into cus-
tody after a police raid on his home
disclosed documents linking him
with Nazi Fifth Column" activity
in Yugoslavia.
Formed Radical Party
The announcement said the for-
mer premier known as "Germany"*
Triend.” was to be taken by police
Friday afternoon to the village ol
Rudnik. south of Belgrade where he
will be forced to reside.
Police stressed the fact that It
was impossible * for airplanes to
land at the village." but did not ex-
plain the significance of this ref-
erence.
8toyadinovic was premier from
1936 to 1939. This spring he orga-
nized the Serbian radical party ana
openly had advocated friendship
with Berlin and Rome.
The Yugoslav government’s action
in Investigating his political activi-
ties was seen as another step In the
Balkan states' efforts to eliminate
foreign political agents and trouble-
makers who might cause the south-
eastern European states to become
involved In the war.

which runs southeast to the region
where Norwegian forces are putting
up resistance north of Oslo.
Nazis Thwarted
A German aerial attempt to take
Namsos. 100 miles north of Trond-
heim. was thwarted by an Allied
landing party in that region the
Norwegian legation said.
