Crew Sues Ship
That Fled Japan
In Epic Voyage
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, April THE crew of
the steamship Wilhelmina, which
escaped from Japanese coastal wa
ters and completed an epic voyage
across the North Pacific to an
Alaskan haven, filed a $4,000 suit
for wages and war bonus yesterday.
The suit was filed in Federal Court
as a libel against the ship. The
complaint alleged the skipper prom
ised the crew members, mostly Chi
nese, additional compensation at a
conference after the ship veered
away from the Japanese coast at
the news of the wars outbreak last
December 7. 1t asserted the men
would receive wages on the Ameri-
can scale, war bonus and such
interest in the coal cargo as is GUS
tomary for a crew that captures a
prize Of war.
The Wilhelmina actually is owned
by a company with Offices in Shang-
hal, the suit stated, although flying
the Netherlands flag.
The vessel in trip between two
japanese ports turned toward
Alaska after the Russian radio op-
orator received the Pearl Harbor at
tack report. 1t was camouf1aged
at sea and had to dodge Japanese
warships and overcome engine
breakdowns on q 19-day trip on Q
weeks rations.

Arkansas Governor Against
Overweight Jeep Carriers
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April T.
While Arkansas Highway Depart
ment and transport company OFF,
cials sought to settle a dispute over
alleged overlooking Of jeep-carrying
transports, Gov. Homer M. Adkins
took a stand today against permit
ting the transports to carry more
than legal weights.
w. w. lass, highway department
engineer. and Jim Grain, Highway
Commission chairman, sought a
conference with transport officials
In West Memphis, where depart
ment agents stopped three trans
ports Saturday carrying Army scout
cars to the quartermaster depot at
Adams Field, Little Rock.
Louis Tarlowski, attorney for the
transport company, said 10 trans
ports had been halted at the West
Memphis station and that 62 addi-
tional loads totaling about 43O jeeps
were en- route and probably would
reach Memphis today.
I'VE do not want to do anything
in the world that will hinder the
war effort" Gov. Adkins declared,
but there simply does not exist an
emergency when there are at least
400 jeeps and other motor equip
ment at the quartermaster depot in
Little Rock, which have been here
for several weeks"

American Subs Sink
; Jap Merchantmen;
Total Blasted Now 81
Z Tonkers in West Pacific
Bog; Aggregate Of Navy
And Army Reaches 209
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
American submarines battering
steadily at Japans long supply lines
In the Western Pacific have sunk
three more enemy merchant ships,
two Of them heavily laden tankers,
the Navy reported late yesterday.
Destruction Of these vessels raised
to q total of 81 the Japanese ships
blasted by far-roving United States
undersea RAIDERS total made up
of 80 sinkings, 10 probable sinkings
and the damaging of II other ships.
The overall score Of Japanese YES
sells sunk and damaged by both
Army and Navy forces mounted to
209 In the four months Of war
ending yesterday.
The two tankers were sunk by q
submarine on extended patrol in the
vicinity of the Caroline Islands,
Japanese mandates lying east Of the
Philippines. One OF the tankers
fired on the submarine but. the
Navy said, failed to damage 1t.
The cargo of the tankers. whether
oil or gasoline, was not given, but 1t
was considered possible that they
were transporting fuel for enemy
feet units. Truk Island in the Car
oline group is a great Japanese
naval base.
The third ship reported sunk was
freighter. blasted by . subma-
rine on patrol in Japanese waters.
No details Of this encounter were
divulged by the Navy. It was re-
called, however, that other subma-
mine attacks have been carried out
in that area, suggesting the prob
ability that United States craft are
in constant operation there, thou
sands Of miles from their bases.
That operations over the whole Of
the enemy dominated western Pa
cific are constantly increasing was
indicated by the fact that in recent
weeks the Navy has made more and
more frequent reports of American
undersea attacks. Last Saturday it
was announced that two light cruis-
ers had been torpedoed south Of
Java and that five non -combatant
enemy vessels had been damaged
by submarine attacks In Dutch East
Indies waters.

A BRITISH PORT, April THE
Norwegian ships which last week
made daring dash to Britain from
Goteborg, Sweden, were attacked re-
peatedly by German airplanes, naval
surface craft and submarines, 1t was
disclosed yesterday.
A combination of heavy fog, skill
full seamanstiip and plain luck en-
abled the ships to run the German
blockade. But some of them were
sunk by the Germans.
Copenhagen dispatches said
that from two to four of the
ships were sunk and that two
turned back to Goteborg)
A young Norwegian sailor who
came through the gantlet said
Those torpedoes seemed to I'LL the
sea-"
The ships had been in the Swedish
harbor opposite the northern tip Of
Denmark since the German invasion
of Norway and were chartered for
mally to the British by the Nor
wegian government-in-exile.
Tremendous Risks.
The problem was to get them
through an alert German blockade.
The attempt was made last Tuesday.
I'VE knew We were taking tre-
mendous risks, but we did not ex-
pect things to happen as quickly
as they did," the young Norwegian
said.
THE Germans had been tipped
OF. They were waiting just of the
Swedish coast in the heavily mined
Skagerrak, and opened up on us
Immediately. We could do nothing
In reply.
Their shells were screaming all
around us. German bombers droned
overhead and 1t seemed as If nothing
could save us. Some Of us were
being fired on at point blank range.
Somehow We managed to survive,
some Of us.
Most Of the ships had turned
back from this almost certain de-
struction. Then suddenly a heavy
fog came down. Visibility was nil,
and the Nazi bombardment stopped.
Fog Was Salvation.
I'VE crept out again. Then I saw
q vivid flash. I think it was a ship
which had turned with us on the
second attempt to make a run for it.
She must have been hit by torpedo.
Our ship kept on at full speed.
Above us we could still hear the roar
Of German bombers, and every now
and then the thud Of exploding
bombs. In spite Of the fog the Ger
man warships and U-boats were
resuming the attack.
Those torpedoes seemed to fill
the sea, but all missed us. We were
chased for hours and attacked with
every form Of weapon-bombs,
shells, torpedoes.
But that fog was our salvation"

Italy 10 Repatriate $1,000
From East Africa CAMPS

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 7.-Diplomatic
sources said today 11,000 italian
civilians would be repatriated from
camps on the East African coast in
long operation around the Cape
of Good Hope to be led by the Ital-
ian liners Saturnia and Vulcania.
The Saturnia and Vulcania are
now at Gibraltar, British fortress
at the western entrance of the
Mediterranean, on their way to a
withdrawal port on the Red Sea.
The German Navy presumably
has been notified of their passage
to secure them from U-boat attack
in the Atlantic.
Many more ships will follow these
two, it was said.
The civilians to be withdrawn are
men unfit for military service, wom-
en- and children. They were placed
in coastal camps by the British after
defeat OF italian armies In East

After Months In Jail, Man
Is Freed by His Accuser
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April IA 30-year-
old colored man who had been held
for almost q year, awaiting trial on
q charge of Staying his brother, is
q free man today on the testimony
Of the girl witness who put him be-
hind bars.
The indictment accusing Horace
Anderton in the death Of Aaron An
derton was dismissed yesterday after
Assistant District Attorney Alexan-
der Herman disclosed that Robert
Williams, also colored, had been
indicted last Tuesday for the crime.
Mr.. Herman said the girls orig
inal story was that the Andertons
had tried to rob her; that she had
told williams about 1t, and that in
,an ensuing argument a wild shot
fired by Horace felled his brother.
The girl, however, recently told
Mr.. Herman her testimony had been
untrue; that the brothers hadn't
attempted to rob her, and that when
she had told Williams of the alleged
attempt he said he had "a heater"
"a gum and would take care Of
things"
