DAMAGED DUTCH DESTROYER
WAIT FOR REPAIRS IN SYDNEY
(Rec. 7 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 6. The Royal Netherlands Navy destroyer, Piet Hein, which has been limping from port to port in Australia, arrived in Sydney yesterday and at present .lies alongside the Sydney wharf while the authorities try to find out why she was refused repair facilities in Brisbane. Fremantle, and Melbourne.
The destroyer was damaged in a collision with a tanker off the English coast last November, but the damage did not necessitate immediate docking. In Canberra, the Minister of the Navy (Mr N. J. Makin) said that no waterside organisation had actually refused to work on the destroyer at Fremantle. Carpenters had approached the Arbitration Court on certain, aspects of the work to be done, but before a decision was given the Dutch authorities had orderedthe ship to Melbourne.
