Tanker With . Cargo From Here -Sets Record

CAMPBELLTON (CP) — The tanker Seekonk made history Friday at 9:40 a.m. when she docked in New Brunswick’s most northerly port to discharge petroleum products.

Harbormaster J. A. Roy said

A

it had never been known for vessels to dock at this time of year. It was the first docking in January.

On Dec. 26, after what was believed a record-breaking voy- age On the Miramichi River, the same tanker docked at New- Castle despite a sheet of ice on the water.

Of 579 net tons, the vessel carried about 500,000 gallons when she left Charlottetown, and it took about six hours to unload here. Only about 300,000 gallons were unloaded as trou- ble was experienced with the pipes freezing. Last evening the temperature was 10 degrees.

The pilot had said he_ felt it was not safe to take the tanker out after 3 p.m. But she left at 4:45 p.m. and arrived in Dal- housie at around 6.40. Then the pilot was _taken off. A tugboat broke ice at Dalhousie to reach the tanker. the vessel then pro- ceeded to Charlottetown.

After a mild holiday season, the temperature dropped Thurs- day night to 5 degrees below zero, and was 3 below when the ship docked.

ROME (Reuters) —- Bronchitis was blamed Friday for the fail- ure of soprano Maria Callas to finish her role at the opening of the Rome opera season Thursday As riot police broke up crowds of anti-Callas demonstrators out- side the New York-born star's ho- tel, a spokesman for the 34-year- old singer said she had ‘the chest ailment and,_had run a tempera- ture when her voice gave out af- ter one act of Vincenzo Be1lini’s Norma. - «

The hotel's house physician one of a strea-m of doctors who went in and out of her plush suite like spear-carriers in a Wagnerlan op- era-. confirrzzd she had bronchitis but added the singer's tempera- ture now was normal.

But the temperature of opera- loving Rome was still high.

Pol-ice swung their clu-bs in breaking up the anti - Callas crowds outside her hotel. A

Other angry fans chalked anti- Callas slogans on posters adver- tising Thursday nigh-t’s unfinished performance. Miss Callas, a Mi- lan resident, was told in one: “Callas, Rome doesn’t want you.”

The press blasted Miss Callas with -a round of critical editorial notes, and there were arias of indignation in the Chamber of Deputies. Premier Adone Zo_li’s office ordered an inquiry. WANTS TO SUE
