Olaf Gjerløw

He was editor for the newspaper Morgenbladet from 1920 until his death in 1949, except for a period in German prisons during World War II.

After half a year he was hired in Høires Pressekontor, a centralized office that helped conservative newspapers with articles.

Following the milk strike in September 1941, he was arrested for "anti-German sentiments" and sentenced to fifteen years in jail.

The accusations of lacking such goals stemmed from the party's attitudes to the Union between Sweden and Norway.

[4] After the war Gjerløw became less of a Conservative Party supporter; he advocated broad political cooperation and was against NATO membership.
