Charge of Misuse of Flag Studied
Washington officials under secretary Welles opened an inquiry into the first official charge of misuse of the American flag in the European war. The probe centers on Norwegian leader C. J. Hambro's statement that a Norwegian pilot claimed the German supply ship Jan Wellem flew an American flag to disguise its nationality. The neutrality act allows a three month port entry ban, but enforcement would rely on a diplomatic protest if proven.
