Army coun e r-espionage au-
thorities put an agent aboard
and arrested several passengers,
charging them with evading
censorship regulations. On one
person they found plans of vital
installations at the Naval air
station at Coco Solo.
After the Army intelligence
agent, flying his own plane, Wis
tied Belize and obtained further
information in letters from a
night club hostess and laborers,
Lieut.. General Andrews took up
the trail himself.
He travelled extensively
through the Central American
Republics picking up hint here
and a clue there.
WHISKEY POISONED
Meanwhile, the agent, in
Belize found his room ram
sacked one night. A bottle OF
liquor was found to contain
poison. Efforts were made to
sabotage his plane.
The first phase of the hunt
ended June Is when 20 per-
sons, including "the King" were
taken into custody, in joint ac-
ton by American and British
authorities.
"The King" almost escaped
on small coastal ship but a
u. S. Naval patrol plane set
down at sea and put a prize
crew aboard her after the Nazi
agent was apprehended.

Patriotism Flares Again
After Daring Allied Raid

LONDON. Aug. 22-(UP)-A new!
surge of patriot activities in Ger
n-occupied western Europe was
reported today as the result of
the Allied raid on Dieppe, and Vichy
France took stern new repreSSive
measures to discourage patriots
from aiding the Allies in their next
attack.
A big explosion occurred yester-
day in Henrik Ibsen street in Oslo,
Norway, near a Quisling police
station, British sources reported.
Twenty armed Belgian patriots
overpowered guards at a mine near
Marcinelle. seized 25 cases of dyn-
amite and 3,l00 detonaterS and
threw them 10 the bottom of the
shaft where they exploded. All es-
capped. Two Belgian patriots were
killed by the Nazis for "endang-
ering German occupation forces. +"
CUBS ORGANIZE
In Holland. Netherlands authori-
ties reported, Boy Scout Cubs" or
ganiZed by a secret woman leader
started a campaign OF derision
against German occupation troops.
In groups of three and four, the
Netherlands news agency reported,
they run into the streets before
parading German troops and imi-
tate the NaZi geese step until street
crowds bust into laughter and the
troops lose step.
The boys also are stealing swas-
tika flags from Nazi automobiles
and bicycles.
The Vichy government yesterday
prescribed the death sentence for
all persons who use radio transmit
tiers for anti-national purposes" ="
and life imprisonment for all who
hide such transmitters.
The new repression was taken in
fear that patriots will broadcast in
formation from secret stations to
the Allies.
SET TINE LIMIT
A time limit is to be set by which
all transmitters must be surrend-
cred.
British stations last night broad
cast a message TO the French peg
pie conveying the thanks OF the
Imperial general staff for their CO.
operation in the Dieppe attack.
AT 6:l5 Wednesday morning We
asked the population of the Dieppe
area TO avoid all action which might
endanger their own security" the
message said. This request was
preceded, you will remember, sew
eral weeks before by more gen.
eral warning addressed to nhabi-
tants Of the coastal area bidding
them in their own interests to evac-
uate prohibited areas and advising
them not te take part in event of

Brazil Declares
War Against Axis

Continued from Fage One)
here last January which resulted in
recommendation lo AL the Ameri-
can republics to sever relations with
the Axis.
AGENTS INTERNED
After Brazil severed relations
hundreds of Axis espionage and
propaganda agents were seized and
interned in concentration camp in
Rio De JaneirO harbor.
The first Brazilian ship, the 552
ton Buarque, was torpedoed and
sunk Feb. 5. and since then 20
Brazilian ships were attacked of
which 10 were reported sunk.
Brazilian, United States, and Brit
iSh planes opened an air and sea
drive on the Axis submarines, of
which two and possibly three were
sunk.
Brazil has been receiving lease
lend aid from the United States,
and it Is believed that large
quantity of war material has reach
ed this country. BraziPs vulner-
ability to airborne attack from over
seas lies in the fact that her north
eastern bulge is less than 100
miles from Vichy controlled Dakar
in French West Africa.

Nelson Reports
On Production
Continued from Page One)

continued from Page One
for the month.
The last approximate figures ON
actual numbers of weapons pro-
duced-rather than percentages
were given by President Roosevelt
in June. He said then that May
aircraft production was nearly
4000". that tank production was
over 1900 and that artillery and
antitank guns production amounted
to nearly 1000.
Nelson said June production of
war goods had risen to a value of
Sa,500,000.00 which is at the rate
of S54,0OO,O00,000 annually. The
! Presidents goal was $40 900 ,000,-
600 for the yer Of 1912.
HITS CRITICS
Nelson presented his production
figures in a formal statement. Then
at a press conference he struck
back at critics who said he should
exercise more power over the arm
ed services.
The WPB, Army, Navy, and
Maritime Commission are working
for just one thing, he said TO
win this war.
The WPB chairman said there
was no difference of opinion on
what the most urgently needed
military items were and that they
were going to be given the right
OF way over everything TO defeat
the Axis enemies.
There is no struggle for power;
I have the power" Nelson said
when asked whether the armed
services had veto powers over his
actions.
Nelson said the number one
question was the production of
combat aircraft He stressed that
WPB was taking every step that
can be taken to see that materials
were flowing to factories manu-
featuring such planes. Nelson de-
scribed combat aircraft as the
best offensive weapon we have"
The flow of materials is getting
better and better all the time 4"
/ Nelson said.
BRINGS PRODUCTION
He said some difficulties had re-
suited from going ahead when h2
took over the job as WPB chair
man, instead of holding up pro-
duction SO that revised plan could
! be worked out. He said he would
do it that way again even know
! ing what ne knows now. because
it brought the greatest production
OF war materials.
Regarding the WPB house
cleaning. Nelson said he wanted
I WPB made up of the best men in
the country and if he found his
associates and subOrdinates were
not the best in the country they
were going to be dropped
Nelson reported that the over
all materials picture was "good"
although WPB officials were work
ing TO see that they got the need
ed materials from mines and
scrap.
Nelson said that millions and
| millions of dollars" of materials
had been taken out of unbalanced
inventories held by some compan-
les. He estimated that 100000 900
pounds of copper alone had been
taken from inventories and more
than q million tons Of steel had
been taken from distress" stocks
Of factories closed by limitation
orders
Asked whether the nation was
going to make its production goals,
Nelson replied:
I'VE are not going to give up
trying"
Nelson said that the big icb
ahead of us right now is to bring
our program into balance and make
sure that we use our materials and
] facilities as wisely as possible"
