Nobel Prize Slated for German Pacifist
Oslo, Norway, Nov. 17.—(P)—Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht and Dr. Johan L. Mowinckel, former Norwegian premier, have resigned from the Nobel committee which was reliably reported Tuesday to have selected Carl von Ossietzky, renowned pacifist, for the 1936 Nobel peace prize.
(The German government announced in Berlin Tuesday that Von Ossietzky had been released from custody in a hospital where he was taken for treatment after being confined in a concentration camp since February, 1933.)
Both Dr. Koht and Dr. Mowinckel declared their resignations were not to be interpreted as protests against the reported prize winner.
