American Liberty Ship PENINSULA HOTEL

Refuses Dutch Search

Batavia, Fob. 28.

Captain Rudy Gray, of the American freighter Martin Bohrmann, now in Republican-held Choribon harbour, Java, has refused to obey the Dutch Navy order to sail to Tandjong Priok harbour, near Batavia, it was learn- ed from a Republican source quoted here to-day by the Netherlands pross agency.

Hola, said to have described the order as "a deep inter- national insult" and to have added that if the Dutch insisted, they would have to tow him out.

The ship is said to be fully loaded with native products. The Dutch naval authorities are quoted by the Netherlands agency as saying that they had no offelal news but that if necessary the vessel would be towed out or a naval crow put

aboard.

On January 9, the British mer- chant ship Empire May Rover 'was reported by the Information Service of the Dutch Navy to have been es- corted by a Dutch warship from Cheribon to Samorang to be searched for arma in accordance with the con- trol the Dutch Navy has been exer- cising since last year.

A Netherlands Navy commentator later said that nothing but cars had been found in, the ship.

On February 4, it was reported that for the second time the Empire May Raver had been ordered to port by the Dutch Navy for alleged ignor- ing of warnings not to load rubber at Cheriben.

The Balavian newspaper, Nieu- wagier, sold that the ship, with the Katakami Maru, also flying the Bri- tish flag and carrying rubber, was escorted into Tandjong Priok. It was alleged that the ship carried rubber from estates not the property of Indonesians-Reuter.

Flat Refuxal

Batavia, Feb, 26, Captain Gray, of the American freighter Martin Behrmann, told the commander of the Netherlands des- troyer Kortenuer lying alongside that the warship would have to low his vessel to for search because he

port would refuse to drive her there under her own power.

An official Republican source told the

Unitel Teas that Gray flatly re- fused to move the Behrmann to Tandgjong Priok Ber search as re- quested. He said his orders from New York were to proceed to Colom- bo and Suez and not to go to a Dutch-held harbour.

The Behrmann at present has a 30-man guard from the Kortenaer aboard, and Captain Gray's crew apparently is on sit-down strike.

Dutch May Use Force

Batavia, Feb. 28. The Netherlands Indles Govern- ment to-day formally announced that force will be used, if necessary, 1. make the U.S. liberty ship, Martin Behrmann, which is loading at Cheribon, report at Batavia har- bour for inspection.

The vessel received a final worn- ing that it must buve a Dutch ex-. port permit for its cargo, the Netherlands Indica Government communique reported.

The Bohrmann has been loading principally rubber, sugar and

Dutch quinine. The

Baid authorised exports have been drain- ing the already badly hit country.

Earlier, Captain F. J. Kist, chief of staff of the Netherlands Indies Novy, said there would be "most disagreeable consequences", if the

un-

crew of the Mariin Behrmann, now loading at the Nationalist port of to obcy Dutch Cheribon; refused orders.

Captain Kist said it was entirely the possible for marines to board American ship, but he had not had report of boarding and refusal of americans to obey commands, reported by an Indonesian Govern- ment spokesman. He said ho also did not hear from the Dutch des- troyer at Cheribon with orders to escort the B:hrmann to Tandjong Priok as soon as she inished load- Ing.-Associated Press.
