Brozi|ion Sinkings Held
VitoI to Argentina
p, the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The influential Argentine news
paper La Nacion said today the
submarine sinkings of five Brazilian
ships concerned Argentina almost
as vitally as Brazil.
None of the sinkings of neutral
Or American ships up to now has
had the same gravity for the ma
tions in this part of the continent
as those just suffered by Brazil"
La Nacion said.
With these, the war has drawn
closer to our coasts in a form which

When the general alarm did come
at 9:48 o'clock, only the light bulbs
were surprised However, the total
of about $4,000 were out within
three minutes or less The 5000

announced places of shelter-inside
the more substantial buildings.

The blackout at the stadium came
in the midst of a seventh-inning
Washington rally but spectators
took the darkness in a gay mood.
Cautioned not to light matches, the
crowd of 5000 co-operated, passing
the time by singing and whistiing
After 20 minutes of darkness the
monotony was ended by recorded
music played over the public ad-
dress system.
After the blackout the umpires
granted players a five-minute warm
up period and the Mats resumed
their winning rally at the ex-
pense of the Philadelphia Athletics.

B|ackout Test Goes
Smoothly in Suburbs;
Leaks Protested
Fewer CompIoints Made
Than in Any Previous
Alarm in Counties

Civilian defense officials in the
Metropolitan Area of Maryland and
Virginia today had fewer complaints
to investigate as result of last
nights blackout than in any pre-
vious test.
Lack of secrecy preceding the
surprise" test drew complaints
from some officials. One refused"
to participate in future tests if
leaks" continue. They said .saks"
tipping off air raid officials and the
public destroyed the effectiveness
of the trial.
Observers in an Army plane
which flew over Washington and
nearby areas last night saw lights
along the Mount Vernon Memorial
highway and along one street in
Alexandria. Park police said officers
had been instructed to turn off the
highway lights on the yellow signal
but that no report had been re-
ceived that the lights were extin-
guished
In Alexandria, City Manager Carl
Budwesky, who is defense director,
said the signals are received there
several minutes after they are re-
cevied in Washington and that the
only delay there last night was on
King street, which remained lighted
for one and a half minutes after
the sirens completed their signals
Observers in the Army plane, how
ever, were insistent that street
remained Illuminated in Alexandria.
Official Deplores Leaks.
In Prince Georges County the
blackout went off very we'll" &C
cording to Chief Air Raid Warden
E. F. Zalesak. There were few
violations These will be investi-
gated with a view to bringing the
offenders into court, he added
At the same time, he deplored
the leak" which, he said, enabled
hundreds of county residents to
know about the blackout in ad-
vance
There's no sense in having So
called surprise blackouts if informa-
ton leaks out in advance" he de-
clared. I'VE simply will not par
ticipate in any future surprise air
raid tests if this leak continues"
Observance of the test in Mont
gomery County was much better
last night than in the surprise
blackout on August 10, according
to reports received at the County
Control Center.
Violations Investigated.
A poll of police stations this
morning indicated that II COM
plants had been made in Silver
Spring and four warrants issued;
one warrant issued in Bethesda;
three complaints in Rockville, two
of which were for refusal to turn
out lights after warning was
issued by wardens, and two COM
plants in Gsithersburg.
Arlington County officials were
investigating reports of 80 VIOLA
tions received from wardens but
