Flint Captain Exonerated

S. freighter City of Flint, which was seized by a German prize crew last fall, was exonerated today of misconduct charges brought before the Burean of Marine Inspection by two members of the crew who charged that Gainard could have obtained release of the vessel before it was finally freed from its Nazi captors by the Norwegian government.
