Jap Fifth Column
Plot 10 Conquer
Brazil Exposed
Letter Of Joponese-Bo
Resident Tells of Plan
To Seize Key Areas

By the Associated Press.
RIO DE JANEIRO. March 21-
Japanese Fifth Column plans for
conquest of the rich state of Sac
Paulo and finally all Brazil were ex-
posed tonight in q letter from a
Japanese published by the Govern
ment news agency.
The writer was "the son of a
Japanese born" resident and was
reared and educated in Brazil His
name was withheld because the
writer said he would be "purged" if
his identity became known.
The letter given semi official
status by the method Of its publica-
tion-said $4,000 well-armed Japa-
nese could occupy the city of Sac
Paulo. the third largest in South
America. within half an hour" be-
cause it was lightly garrisoned. Sac
Paulo has l,l50,000 residents.
Whole Coast-Occupied.
The conquest Of the state, the
richest in Brazil, would provide a
springboard for capture OF the whole
nation which is larger than the
United States, the writer noted.
The whole coast Of Sac Paulo is
occupied strategically by the Japa-
neSe who dominate all the fishing
colonies" he said. Il know every
thing is organized for establishing
submarine and airplane bases"
He said the port of Santos, near
Sac Paulo, already was largely sur
rounded by a ring Of Japanese and
that canals carrying drinking water
and electric power lines passed
through Japanese-owned farms and
could be cut easily.
The writer said the Japanese
Fifth Columnists had ample ma
chine guns, rifles and anti-tank
guns imported by japanese firms,
now blacklisted.
The nitro quimica factory in a
suburb OF Sac Paulo. the greatest
explosives manufacturing plant in
South America. is surrounded by
japanese and will be blown up as
soon as the government starts
manufacturing war MATERIAL the
letter continued
The General Motors plant in Sac
Caetano which can produce tanks
and assault cars is in the same
position.
Reservoirs and dams of the Sac
Paulo Light & Power Co. will be
occupied shutting off all produc-
ton in Sac Paulo, Brazil's greatest
industrial city"
During the so years ended in
1884, more than 5000 japanese
immigrated to Brazil and many are
concentrated in Sac Paulo State,
just south of Rio de Janeiro. The
japanese population of Brazil now
is approximately 100000.

War Production Board officials
said yesterday an order was being
prepared to forbid priority aid to

ably would be issued soon.
The order will formalize the

against all non-defense construction
except that necessary to the public
health and safety.
John L. Haynes. chief Of the build

said the new order would follow the
principles of the policy directive.
| That document did not forbid non-

available: it merely directed that no

Bethesda Navy Flyer Killed
In Crash Near Bel Air, Md.
Victim of Another
Croek-Up Mistaken
For D. 6. Musician

1t. Harol william Halverson. 36,
Of 1918 Del Ray avenue, Bethesda,
Nd. was killed yesterday in the
crash of a naval observation plane
in the woods about five miles south
of Bel Air, Md. Wreckage was
scattered over a wide area and the
engine was buried two feet in the
ground, police said.
A storekeeper at nearby Kelville,
Mrs. Mildred Hand, said the plane
flew over the area for about 80
minutes and circled her store three
times just before the crash, so low
she feared it might hit the CHM
ney." She heard a crash, she said,
moment after the airplane roared
over the last time.
1t. Halverson was attached to
the flight division of the Bureau Of
Aeronautics here. He was. on a
routine flight" when the accident
occurred.
A native Of Brooklyn. N. Y, 1t.
Halverson graduated from Colgate
University in 1929 and received a
postgraduate degree from Cornell
in 1929. He enlisted in the Naval
Reserve in 1924, received a COM
mission in the Reserve in 1926 and
graduated two years later from the
Nays flying school at Pensacola
He was assigned TO duty here last
August. with the rank of senior
lieutenant.

No one asked whether the burners

to dealers here until very recently
for sale to civilians.
The Federal oil co-ordinator, Sec
retary of Interior Ickes-had warned
that there was a shortage of fuel

through the War Production Board
an order halting the sale of oil to
newly installed burners. such as
those delivered here recently.

can claim no credit for this order.

not realizing that the failure to

are not at fault, have assumed that

The committee added that this
belief was in part due to the man

there were shortages of parts. to

The report said the entire Tru-

The Senators said it should be
emphasized the shortages "are in
only few of the thousands of parts,
that they are expected to be tenn
porary in nature, and that even with
such shortages deliveries of COM
pleted planes are increasing
monthly"
The committee pointed out that in
some instances the shortages extend
to raw materials. and urged a pro-
duction increase of magnesium,
steel, copper, lead and zinc.
Calls Week Miraculous
Senator Ball amplified the re-
port as follows:
In view Of all the circumstances.
the industry has done miraculous
work. 1t has done in one year and
one-half what it took the automotive
industry 20 years to do.
Senators Ball and Kilgore, in an
added report on production of ship
yards and naval facilities, asserted
They've been hitting the ball
beautifully in spite of the fact that
/ they have to face some of the same
problems that have hurt airplane
production"

Use Of Chrome Halted.
The following is an example Of
the sort of work the branch has
done in behalf of the war effort.
Shortly after we entered the war
the old ALLEGATIONS board halted the
use of chrome steel for any but
essential war purposes. The plumb
ing and heating branch decided this
would be the basis for its regulation
of the oil-burner manufacturers.
Chrome is used to manufacture
thermostats. Oil burners must have
thermostats. Thus-according to a
memorandum to branch employees
the production of oil burners
would be limited by the halt in the
production Of thermostats.
But a short time later, one of the
largest thermostat manufacturers
was given permission to use several
thousand pounds of the scarce metal
he had laid In three-year supply,
1t was reported-to make thermo-
stats.
The proviso was made by the w.

stats were to be sold only to OIL
burner makers who had priority

HARRY JAMES BAND
 REAL BASEBALL BUGS

Harry James, young wizard of the trumpet whose band is coming to the Ritz Ballroom in Bridgeport Wednesday January l4, in a brilliant mid-week dance program, confesses the two things which interest him most in these environs are a good place for raw hamburgers and an empty lot.
 Raw hamburgers are not Harrys eccentricity, but are the diet of one "Flatbush Flanagan, blue blooded Irish terrier who travels with his master. Flanagan has his own re- served seat next to Harry in the bus when James band makes a jump" and was named for mythical char acter, supposedly a rabid Brooklyn Dodger fan. Harry himself is a ra- bid rooter and aside from the fact that he gave his dog a name de- rived from the sport, his band plays vigorous original tune called Plat bush Flanagan" which is favorite of the jitterbug set.
 The reason Harry likes empty lots is that his bands favorite realiza- tion is baseball and their first con- cern, once they arrive in new town, is to find lot big enough to carry on their intra- orchestra feud. By having one man catch for both sides they manage to get ten men on a team. If the team I'm on is behind. we 90 without supper to finish the game, even if we have to get on the bandstand as hungry as bears Harry says, a little sheepishly. When they're travelling by bus "on the road, their idea of recess is game of baseball. They've played every where from apple orchards to pas lures. And listen, there's one guy who's going to join the band some day., Harry says. That's an um- pire. He won't have to be musical just firm. From the arguments we get into during the game, you'd think we were playing hockey.

Classy Happen To Lead New Workers Vs. K of L Tonight

One year ago this month curly haired redhead named Tony Kapp- en led the Maspeth, L. l., Transfig- urations to one-sided triumph over the K. of L. cagers by scoring 28 points, new St. Josepll's hall record. His daring play (right in or the basket after every shot) re- suited in eight baskets and 12 of 15 four goal conversions. He started with nine points in the first period, added seven in the second, was held to a foul in the third and turned on the heat in the fourth stanza with II points.
 This same MT. Happen will again be on hand at the Brooklyn hall tonight to torment the Knights, this time wearing the uniform of the Greenpoint St. Joseph's from the Brooklyn section of New York
 Good Aides
 He'll have plenty of help in the poir 'nakirg department, however with Dick Cole, former star at Manhattan College, and Charlie Dutch" Hoefer, who also plays with the American League Will mington Blue Bombers, as chief aS- sistants.
 Cole and Happen have been among the top scorers of the Long Island Pro League for the past three seasons.
 Dick Lee, Billy Schu and Willie Knapp, all with pro league experi- ence, and Harry Brown, a Green point product, round out the squad of seven the Greenpointers prom ise to bring along.
 Last year, playing without Kap- pen, the New Workers dropped a thrilling 36-32 decision to the Liths, the locals staging a whirl- wind last quarter drive after trail- ing by 14-5 in the second period Cole dumped in six baskets and a foul that night.
 The game is set for g o'clock, dancing to follow, with St. Joseph's Holy Name featured in the 7:3O preliminary tussle.
