Brazil Prepares
To TrainLa
Army for Service

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 25. CUP)
President Getulio Vargas sum-
moned his war cabinet today to plan
more drastic economic measures
against the Axis and to provide for
the training and equipment of
thousands of army recruits.
The cabinet will meet within the
next few days, and it was under
stood that meetings will be held at
regular intervals until the Axis is
smashed.
Reports circulated that three
more Axis submarines had been sunk
by Brazilian, British and United
States planes off the south coast of
Brazil, but they were not confirmed
by official quarters. The submar-
inc menace had not been ended
however, by the relentless hunt that
has been carried on the past 10
days.

TANKER SUNK

The National Petroleum Council
announced that the United States
tanker Louisiana of 1857 tons had
been sunk. 1t was reported to have
gone down last Thursday night,
about 600 miles northeast of Rio de
Janeiro.
The government was greatly en-
cOuraged by the fact that five
South American republics-Argen
tina, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Uru-
quay and Peru-had declared Brazil
a on-belligerent. Under this status,
Brazilian ships may use their ports
as long and as freely as they wish,
and economic restrictions imposed
against nations considered belliger-
ents are not applied.
Argentina, which has not broken
diplomatic relations with the Axis,
implied the hope that Brazil would
be victorious. In a note to Vargas,
President Ramon S. Castillo of Ar
gentina said: Il send my best wish
es for definite triumph of the
principles that inspire our iuriS-
dicial tradition and our indcpend-
ent political life"

ened its forces. Even now, it was
said, the Russians might with their
reserves halt the German drive. But
it was added that if they did Sc.
though they might force German
retreat, their use would leave Rus
sia without reinforcements to meet
a new German attack.

ACTION INDEFINITE


There was still no indication
whether the reported second front
agreement called for attacks en- an
invasion scale in western Europe
this year, or whether an actual in
vasion had been postponed definitely

Front-line reports said today that

"A British radio report said that

Smoke was so thick, the dis
patches said, that even in daylight

Into this inferno, reports to the
Communist party newspaper Pray-

large numbers of parachutists at

Russian troops mopped up Sew
eral parties of 100 or more Nazi

behind the Soviet lines.
The Communist youth news
paper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, re-
ported that the Nazis had brought
up reinforcements sufficient tc
enable them to press southeast
from Kletskaya in great strength.
German dive bombers unloaded
tens of tons of projectiles, includ-
ing screaming bombs,' this paper
reported.

Governor Issues
Highway Workers
Call To Service

Governor John w. Bricker's
recent summons to duty, issued
to employees of the State High
way department, has brought a
100 per cent response from high
way employees in Division No. 5
Licking County is one of the
seven counties comprising this
Division, which is headed by Ed
gar l.. Mill as division engineer.
Training and instruction of all
highway employees is now under
way and will be pushed to COM
pletion at an early date. The
training being given by the State
Highway patrol, highway and
bridge engineers and qualified
civilian defense instructors, will
result in a we'll trained, disciplin-
ed organization, ready to func-
tion in the event of any war dis
aster, as well as during other
emergencies not connected with
the war, such as floods. Training
and instruction will cover the di-
recting and dispatching of traf-
fic, the evacuation of persons
and property from dangerous
areas, observation and surveil-
lance, first aid, fire and gas de-
fense, demolition, clearance of
debris, decontamination, emer-
gency bridge and road repairs,
transportation of personnel and
blackouts. The principal civilian
defense services, for which this
organization is being prepared,
are road repairs, bridge repairs,
clearing, demolition and evacu-
alton.
While it is the duty of the
Highway department to maintain
and repair roads and bridges on
the state system, Governor Brick
er, as chairman of the State De-
fense Council, has ordered that
the organization and facilities Of
the department be ready to
assist local defense organiza-
tions if such service is request
ed by them.
Chairmen of local defense
councils are being contacted by
Engineer Fred Dauenhauer, exc
cutive assistant in charge of or
ganization and training, for the
purpose of acquainting the coun-
ellis with the service the High
way department is preparing to
render.

Responsibility
OF Parents

Now pending before the
Newark city council is leg
islation tending to govern
the action of juveniles un-
der 16 years of age. They
must be off the streets af-
ter 10 p. m. unless on their
way home from specific legi-
innate pursuits.
Last week several young
sters were sent to the indus
trial school at Lancaster.
They were guilty and should
have been sent, but-they
should not have arrived at
the point where it was nee
essary to send them.
1t is time that parents
were made responsible for
the actions of their children.
Instead of IA and 15-year-
old Johnnie or Elsie up be-
fore the court, their parents
should be made to pay the
penalty.
In the majority of cases
juvenile delinquency can be
traced to a home where the
mother and father are too
busy with a night life of
their own to pay much at
tention to their children. If
that is not the case, they
may be giving their young
sters too many liberties, too
much money, and generally
have the attitude: my child
can do no wrong"
Laws controlling juven-
lies aren't worth a thinkers
damn" without parental CO.
operation.
