1Opinion of the Court
LUONGO, District Judge.
Tzanetos Lascaratos, libelant, commenced this libel in admiralty for (1) earned wages and penalty wages under the provisions of 46 U.S.C.A. §§ 596, 597 and 599; (2) damages for aggravation of a hearing deficiency; and (3) maintenance and cure until maximum recovery. Before me are respondents’ exceptions seeking dismissal of the libel on the ground of forum non conveniens. Respondents concede that this court has jurisdiction over the causes, they contend only that this court ought not exercise it because of insufficiency of contacts.
