Ultimatum To Seamen
(N.Z. Press Assn.— Copyright) CANBERRA, Feb. 28. If Australian seamen did not volunteer to man the Vietnam supply ship “Boonaroo” tomorrow a naval crew would be put aboard, Parliament was told today. The Minister for Labour and National Service, Mr Leslie Bury, threw down this ultimatum in swift developments involving the vessel. “I hope the crew of the “Boonaroo” will follow the Australian flag and not the hammer and sickle,” Mr Bury said.
