Brazilian Action
A Rio de Janeiro report says that
the Brazilian Government has
ordered all Brazilian vessels in the
coastal service to proceed to the
nearest safe port and to remain
there until the submarine menace
is overcome. Soldiers on leave
have been recalled urgently to
duty, and the navy has forbidden
furloughs for regular reserves.
The United Press correspondent
at Rivera, Uruguay, says that Her
man von Brook, a former German
army captain, was killed during an
anti-Axis demonstration in San-
tana Dolivramento, Brazil near
the border of Uruguay. Axis
stores were stormed by the demon
strators. Considerable damage re
sulted.
The Bahia correspondent of
Associated Press of America says
that an Axis submarine which
torpedoed one Brazilian passenger
ship within sight of the coast
waited an hour and then destroyed
a second vessel before picking up
the survivors of the first ship. This
was reported at Bahia today by Dr.
Helio Veloso, the first survivor of
the steamer Itagiba to arrive.
A Buenos Aires message quotes
the influential Argentine news
paper "La. Nacion"- as saying that
the sinking of five Brazilian
ships concerned the Argentine al
most as vitally as Brazil.
