...Hamburg-American liner St. Louis last week duplicated the Bremen's feat of eluding the British blockade, slipping safely down through Norwegian coastal waters into the Baltic and "a home port," from Murmansk. The 8,000-ton Johannlschulte, one of 16 other German refugees at Murmansk, was less lucky. In a blizzard and raging sea somewhere off Trondheim, she lost her propeller, foundered. Her crew of 36 was rescued by the Norwegian Queen Maud...
...tanker Pauline Friederich, which took refuge there four months ago carrying $250,000 worth of lubricants, last week filed a libel action in Federal court, demanding that the vessel be sold to satisfy his claim of $98.60 in back wages, and more for the hungry crew.

For weeks he trained two picked squads in the fine art of scuttling and firing ship...
...article containing this piece of super-gloom was by Emil Helfferich, onetime "Maritime Adviser to the Führer" who became board chairman of the North German Lloyd and Hamburg American Lines when the Nazis lumped them under the same directorate in 1933. Herr Helfferich urged that the Government aid stagnant German export-import firms by permitting them to discharge superfluous employes (illegal under the Nazi job-protection laws); by letting them use "rent free" the Government warehouses in which German clogged exports are now piling up; and by directly providing "necessary capital to keep them afloat."
