Warships' 5-Day Fight

To Thwart Scuttler

By A Naval Correspondent

THE Royal Canadian Navy, fighting alongside the Royal Navy, has just performed a most remarkable exploit.

The R.C.N. destroyer Assiniborne (formerly the It.N, Kem- penfelt) was recently patrolling in the Caribbean, in company with a British warship, when they sighted the German steamer Hannover (5,000 tona), a brand-new ship owned by the North! German Lloyd.

The Man Who

Did Not Salute

Minister Upholds Sacking from A.F.S.

MR. WILLIAM MABANE, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Home Security, has ruled that the dismissal of Mr. John Gibson from the Middlesbrough Auxiliary Fire Service because he refused to salute his officers "does not savour of excessive militarism.”

In a letter to Mr. Kingsley Griffith, M.P., Mr. Mabane says: "It may be possible to overdo the strictly military routine in deal- ing with these civilian units. I quite agree, but on inquiry I don't think this is such a case."
