j. ). Asks Use Of Seven
Vessels for Defense
BY the Associated Press.

by Ine ASSOCldIeO FTesS.
Maritime Commission officials said
Yesterday the commission had re-
quested from operators Of inter-
coastal vessels the 'use' Of about
seven vessels for defense purposes.
1t was explained that such a re-
quest contemplated only the diver
sion of ships from normal runs to
meet defense needs and did not
necessarily mean that the commits
sion was acquiring the ships outright
for the Government.
Because the request was directed
to intercoastal operators, it was as
sumed the companies operate ships
between the Atlantic and Pacific
Coasts. The Maritime Commission
however, declined to make public
Immediately the names Of concerns
to which the request was directed.
In San Francisco shipping officials
said nine vessels had been requi-
sitioned and added that they un-
doubtedly would be used in trans
Pacific service.
Two of the ships, all to be deliv-
cred before January /, will be sup
piled by the Matson Navigation Co.
and one each by Weyerhaeuser,
Calmar, Luckenbach, American
Hawaiian, Mccormick, Isthmian and
Arrow lines.
One source said the nine freight
ers would transport Army supplies
and defense materials from Pacific
ports to Hawaii and the Philippines
and bring back hemp and other
strategic materials.

j. :, Axis Blacklist
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOGOTA, Colombia, Nov. 8.-The
Colombian Senate last night rejected
the anti-Axis blacklist issued by
the United States against Axis firms
doing business in the Western
Hemisphere.
The action was the first of its
kind since the blacklist was issued.
The fact that both the government
and opposition forces in the Senate
approved it indicated the agreement
of the government with the move.
The Senate approved unanimously
q motion which said it was in
acceptable that United States black
lists should include names of "indi-
viduals and societies in the Ibero-
American republics without the re-
spective governments having been
consulted previously in accordance
with the spirit and letter of the
acts and conventions of inter-
American solidarity subscribed to at
Lima. Panama and Havana"
