BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO, May 2s.-
Brazils armed forces were cred
tied unoffcially today with de-
Struction of two Axis submarines
and capture of another Subma-
rine and a German mother ship
In a shoot-on-sight defense
against maritime raids which
the government-Sponsored news
paper A Mania termed organ
lied piracy"
High official sources considered it
mot impossible" that Germany
would declare war on Brazil, which
was with the Allies in the First
World War. She severed relations
with the Axis January %.
Propaganda TRADES and submarine
attacks, the newspaper Diarlo Carl
oca said, give the impression that q
war of the Axis against Brazil will
break out in the near future"
o Journal said I'VE are not bel
ligerent country, but we will never
permit them to challenge us at the
doors of our house.
The brave young men of the Bra
lillian air force are alert and they
are good Shots" the paper said.
Six Ships Sunk So Far.
Sinking of six Brazilian ships and
damaging of a seventh made it nec-
essary for the non-belligerent nation
to act TO safeguard our sovereignty,
the liberty of our navigation and the
lives of our undefended sailors" the
Air Ministry said.
The Air Ministry announced in its
first communique of the war last
night that at least one of three sub
marines attacked off Brazil's 5000
mile coastline had been sunk.
1t did not provide details, but a
high government source reported
earlier that q land-baSed Brazilian
aircraft which answered a summons
for help from United States patrol
plane had destroyed submarine by
dive bombing off the northeast coast
Saturday, leaving only huge oil slicks
and floating wreckage.
Diario Carioca went beyond the
communiQue with declaration that
two submarines, not one, had been
put out OF action in this first
round"
Supply Ship Reported Taken.
A German submarine supply ship
laden with oil, torpedoes and other
materials, disguised as Dutch
craft, was reported in Recife to have
been seized. There was no con-
firmation from government agencies
in Rio de Janeiro.
Joao Baptista Lusardo, Brazilian
Ambassador to Uruguay, said that,
in addition to the submarine sunk,
a second was damaged and third
was captured as a result of engage
ments extending far out in the At
lantic to the Brazilian islands Of
Sac Pedro, Sac Paulo and Fernando
de Noronha.
The Ambassador, reciuing this toll
in Porto Allegro on his way from
Rio de Janeiro to his post, said one
of the submarines was Italian.
There was a report earlier in the
week that an Italian submarine
had surrendered to authorities at
a Northeast Brazilian port, but this
had not been confirmed.

No Oxford Car
nival This Year

The Oxford, Pa, News reports
that while it has not been definitely
determined as yet, it is most likely
that for the second time in twenty
three years, there will be no carni-
val held by the Oxford Fire Com
pany this year. In 1898, because OF
the depression, the carnival was not
held. Several conditions are respon-
sible for the probable decision. One
is that in view Of the about efforts
being made toward the successful
prosecution of the war, it would not
seem in keeping with the recognize
ed policy of the company of render
ing every aid possible to nation and
community, il the carnival were
held. The other is, that the freezing
of automobile sales and the ration
ing of sugar would eliminate two OF
the largest money-making features
at the carnival.

Tydings Makes
Plea For Sus-
quehanna Span
Does Not Want The Ole
Bridge Torn Down

Prompted by the persistence of
rumors that the old SusQuehanna
River bridge at Havre de Grace is
to be torn down and scrapped for its
iron, Senator Tydings has asked
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary OF
War, to consider all aspects of the
matter before approving the pro-
ject.
Senator Tydings informed the
Secretary that there are only two
bridges across the river at this
point. One is new bridge built OF
concrete and steel, four tracks wide.
The other is the old bridge to which
l refer, which is not in use for We
hicular traffic and which has been
closed and held in reserve during
this critical emergency.
The Maryland Senator told Mr..
Stimson that if by sabotage or any
other means the new bridge were
damaged and rendered unusuable,
there would be no way of getting
the great stream Of traffic north and
south across the river except by the
old bridge.

s"The following recommendations
on procedure in filling receptacles
with water for use during air raid
alarms were formulated on advice
received from the National Board Of
Fire Underwriters, the American
Water Works Association and the
United States Public Health Ser
vice.
Keep several receptacles, Of two
types, filled with water at all times.
Water stored for drinking and
household reserve should be kept in
covered receptacles to prevent inn
purities. Water stored as a reserve
for fighting fires need not be COW
cred. Keep the receptacles in the
places where they are most easily
reached, preferably at least one on
each floor.
ut is not desirable to wait until
the air raid alarm is sounded to
fill receptacles. The sudden drain on
the water supply If thousands of
householders turn on water at the
same time may dangerously deplete
the municipal water pressure and
cut of the flow of water needed by
local Fire Departments and their
Citizens Defense Corps auxiliaries.
'It is suggested that, unless 9TH

partment, all drinking water from
the tap be boiled briskly minimum
of Ave minutes for a 24-hour period
following the restoration Of water
services after water has been turn

Navy Acquires
Tome School AT
Port Deposit
Property Will Be Used
AS Training Depot

Tome School, at Port Deposit,
has been acquired by the Navy De-
partment through condemnation
proceedings for use as a "major
naval training station.
The school, which closed its doors
last June after it had been in exist
ence for Al years, will be taken over
Immediately by the Navy Depart
ment and converted to use.
The Navy will make use of every
article of equipment in the school
buildings, even down to linens, sill
verware and dishes.
The school grounds condemned
cover an area of about $50 acres.
The school buildings are on tract
campus. There Is another tract,
comprising the remaining acres, ON
which a private water supply with
reservoir is located.
A Government attorney said the
condemned acreage would probably
cost about $1,000,000.
Adverse financial conditions caus-
ed the closing of the school after 81
students were granted diplomas last
June 80.
The school was maintained ex-
clusively for boys. Founded by the
wealthy philanthropist, Jacob Tome,
the school managed to steer clear of
financial difficulties until the de-
preston of the early thirties.
Tome School is located along the
east bank of the Susquehanna River,
approximately 200 feet above the
level of the river.

New Fire Equipment

The Aena Hose, Hook & Ladder
Company, of Newark, DEL, has re-
ceived it's new Seagrave fire engine.
The new Seagrave, powered by
twin six cylinder engines, develops
about 200 horsepower. 1t has $50
gallon per minute pumping capacity
and carries 800 gallon booster
pump.
The latest word in modern equip
ment, the new engine is equipped
with an all-steel, enclosed cab.
Another outstanding feature is that
its twin motors operate together or
separately; thus If either motor
fails, the other will supply sufficient
power to maintain full running
efficiency. This is done by a COM
plete set Of dual controls operated
from the drivers compartment.

RECORD MARCH
SNOW FALL
BLANKETS EARTH

What is described by the Wealth
er Department as the heaviest
March snowfall within memory, ex-
ceeding March record set fifty
years ago, March II and Is, 1892.
blanketed this entire section Sun
day. Snow began falling late Sat
urday night and continued through
out Sunday. At times the snowfall
was fast and furious. Because of the
act that the snow was heavily water
logged it was difficult to determine
the depth. All traffic was begged
down and pedestrians were COM
PEELED to wade through slush over
shoe-tops.
The temperature was just above
the freezing point and the snow toe
heavy to cause drifting by the wind.
Supervisor Jos. T. Richards had
the snowplows out early and three
of the big machines we're in opera
ton throughout the day clearing
the roads for traffic.
But conditions were so bad that
there was very little travel on the
highways. In Baltimore city, where
the snowfall was even heavier than
in this section, all bus lines were
compelled to suspend operations
for hours. Wire service was also
hard hit, the wet, heavy snow caus-
ing many breaks in the lines. Trees
and shrubbery were badly damaged
also, due to the heavy weight OF
snow.
An indication Of the extent to
which auto traffic was slowed down
is shown by the fact that toll re-
ceipts over the Susquehanna river
bridge between Perryville and
Havre de Grace are reported to have
been the smallest on Sunday since
the bridge has been open to the
travelling public.
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
agricultural extension service OF
the University of Maryland, declared
that in general, the snow fall was
"a good thing" for the farmers.
st will cause little or no damage
to any crops, DR.. Symons said.
while it will retard gardening, II
will help wheat and other crops al
ready in the ground. It won't hurt
fruit, because there has been little
forcing weather..
He said the help will be whole
lot more than the hurt.,s and that
the snow will bsya great thing for
