RIO DE JANEIRO. Aug. 2s-
President Getulio Vargas issued a
decree yesterday which, in effect,
puts into the hands of the Brazilian
government all the equipment of
the airline Services Aeros Condor

Condor, a subsidiary of the German
Lufthansa.
The decree actually transfers to
the government the debt of Services
Aeros Condor to Lufthansa, amount
ing to some $4,000 contos, or 81
500 900, which this company in turn
took over from Syndicate Condor
when the latter ceased operations
last year because Of lack of gaso-
line.
Services Aeros Condor claims it
self purely Brazilian and has been
gradually wedding out all Germans
and persons of German descent on
its payroll, but it is still on the
United States blacklist.
Informed quarters said the gov
eminent would cancel the debt to
Lufthansa and that this was ex-
pected to result in removal of the
company from the blacklist.
Meanwhile, the government fur
ther placed the nation on war
footing by placing all distribution of
coal under direct federal control
and cancelling the incorporation
charters of three large Axis banks.
The action came as the nation
celebrated its annual soldier day."

Sino-korean Speaker
Warns Of Oriental Spies

While predicting an Allied vic
tory, Kilsoo K. Haan, representative
Of the Sino-Korean Peoples League,
yesterday told the Optimist Club
at a luncheon meeting in the May
flower Hotel that the United Ma
tions should beware of German and
japanese undercover agents.
He maintained that reports COM
ing to his organization show there
are a large number of Orientals
working for Japan and Germany
under the guise of being devoted to
independence for their respective
home lands.
The Korean said there were 6O(
native agents in India, 800 in
Burma, 200 in Thailand and Isl
training in Japan.
The speaker denounced these op-
eratives, but at the same time
pointed out the United States
Great Britain and other nations
with holdings in the Orient had
failed to develop full cooperation
on the part of the natives.
