Bonner (D-N.C.) eomes Stockholm's ramming of the An- drea Doria last Wednesday night already have found space on Scandinavian Airline's planes leaving by the end of the week. Thirty were able to fly to Europe last Friday shortly after they dis embarked from the Stockholm. Scores of others have made bookings on various trans-Atlantic airlines. Crews Double Up A spokesman for the line said 165 Stockholm passengers will leave New York aboard the Ber gensfjord Wednesday and 140 have been allotted space aboard the Kungsholm sailing Friday. Accomodations of extra passen gers was made possible by the crews of both ships who volun teered to double up so crew quarters could be used for the : survivors. Bookings on the ships of other lines were so heavv that few passengers from the Stockholm were able to find space. Two lucky passengers were able to sail on the United States liner America within a few hours af ter the Stockholm's return here last Friday. One person found a berth on the Mauretania on Sat urday. Repair Work Begun The line has provided S50 for each adult passenger and S25 for each child to tide them over until Friday. It kept its offices open all week end and has as signed representatives to the Governor Clinton hotel to take care of passengers needs and help them find transportation abroad. The next big problem of Swedish-American Line authori ties is to find alternate passage for passengers scheduled to re turn from Scandinavia on the Stockholm in August and Sep tember." Repair work on the liner's ob literated prow already has be gun at the Bethlehem Steel Co.'s dry dock in Brooklyn but no es timate of when the ship will be back in service has been made yet. It will probably be months, maritime experts said. J. -h:r.2t.-n J.R Sen.
