Norwegian Whale Oil
Vessel Arrives at
Hampton Roads
Suderoy, With Six
Smaller 'Killer' Boats,
Awaits New Orders
By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK. Va„ April 16—The
Suderoy. a Norwegian whale oil re
finery ship carrying about 12,500
tons of the oil, moved into Hamp
ton Roads yesterday with its brood
of six smaller •'killer” boats—ap
parently diverted there by the war
abroad.
The Suderoy was to have taken
her cargo into Curacao, ill the Dutch
West Indies, but before reaching
that port was directed to proceed
here to await orders.
Other Norwegian vessels which
came here yesterday to wait orders
concerning future movements were
the Kai Knudsen, from sea; the
Risar.ger from Harstad and the
Pollux from Rotterdam.
Meanwhile the huge freighter
Panamanian which sank at a dock
in Baltimore March 21 while loading
a cargo for Europe, was being towed
today to Newport News, for repairs.
At a Federal hearing recently,
witnesses testified water poured into
the ship through an open fuel port,
flooding the engine rooms.
The task of refloating and remov
[ ing the 11,500 tons of cargo required
two weeks.
The Compania Transatlantica
Centro Amencana, operator of the
freighter, said it would return to
Baltimore to take on cargo for a
voyage to Liverpool and Dublin
May 5.

President Vetoes Bill
To Reopen Claims Case
By the Associated Press.
Lest it set “highly undesirable
precedent,” President Roosevelt
vetoed yesterday a bill which would
have permitted a Government con
tractor to reopen claims which the
President said had already been
settled.
The bill by Senator Mead, Demo
crat of New York, would have per
mitted the Eberhart Steel Products
Co. of Buffalo, to bring action in
the United States Court of Claims
for damages claimed in connection
with the rejection of some parts
of military trucks the firm made
for the War Department 20 years
ago.
The President objected particu
larly to a section of the measure
which would have given the Court
of Claims authority to consider a
claim for losses sustained in plant
expansion undertaken on assurances
of War Department officers that the
i firm would receive additional orders.
Operating Engineers
Will Hear Taft
Senator Robert A. Taft. Repub
lican, of Ohio is scheduled to address
concluding sessions of the 21st con
vention of the International Union
of Operating Engineers at the Ral
eigh Hotel tomorrow morning at 10
o’clock.
After tending to routine business
today's meeting was adjourned at

ants to see the opening baseball
game at Griffith Stadium.
The engineers yesterday adopted a
resolution recommending that local
units of the union “be given the
signal to go ahead and organize
all employes" if such action is made
necessary by encroachment by elec
trical workers into I. U. O. E. juris
diction by organization on an indus
trial basis.

“It all sorta began like this. While I was looking out for
Pinnochio in that big movie, I found myself building up a
public. I even got fan mail calling pie the biggest little star
on record. And the lady crickets who proposed marriage
would crowd the warmest hearth. Then the editors of THIS
WEEK and Walt Disney got together and decided I might
as well stay in public life a while longer. So, beginning
Sunday after next, you’ll see me in my further adventures,
direct from Mr. Disney’s studio—as an exclusive THIS
WEEK feature. Next Sunday, however, I’ll tell you more
about myself. So don’t miss me, and so long 'til then."
