RIO DE JANEIRO. Aug. 18-tUP)
Large crowds staged anti-German
demonstrations outside German
stores today, demanding vengeance
for the torpedoing and sinking of
five more Brazilian ships, at least
one of which carried troops, as a
declaration of war on the Axis was
believed cnly a matter of hours.
Iron shutters were lowered over
the store fronts as the crowds gath
cred, and heavy police guards were
sent to the downtown sections
where the demonstrations were un-
der way. Public anger was famed
by assertions in maritime circles
that the area in which the ships
were sunk was thick with sharks
The Sinkings were announced last
night
The sailing of the Brazilian
steamers Bage and Cuyaba for Lis
bon with the last of the Axis diplo-
mats and other nationals to be
repatriated from Brazil was pest
poned last night. No reason was
given.
Among the diplomats were former
German Ambassador Kurt Prueffer.
former Italian Ambassador Ugo
Sola, and former Hungarian Min
lister Nicolas Horthy Jr.
The snip carrying troops was the
4.801-t ton Baependy, sunk in the
$50 miles between Bahia and Ser
gipe, to the north. Unofficial re-
ports had said that 700 to 1000 men
were lost. but the department cf
press and propaganda asserted late
last night:
photographic reports from var
ious points along the coast between
Bahia and Sergipe state that a
number of lfeboats have reached
5mall localities which leads to the
belief that large number CT men
aboard the torpedoed ships have
been saved
An earlier announcement has said

that the Germans have been forced
to fall back several kilometers into
new defense positions.
There was no indication that a
general German withdrawal was in
volved. but the Moscow reports said
that on the Kotelnikovski front,
90 miles southwest of Stalingrad.
Nazi forces we're compelled to re-
tire and reorganize.
These reports might indicate that
Marshal Semyon Timoshenko has
maSSed substantial masses OF men
to protect the approaches to Stall
ingrad and the vital Volga river
communications line.
Berlin reports mentioned no spe-
cific gains in South Russia, but
complained CT tropical heat in the
Caucasus which apparently was
slowing down the Nazi spearheads.
The Germans also again took note
of powerful Soviet diversionary at
tacks in the Vyazma and Rzhev
sectors.
Moscow continued 20 emphasize
the Sosiet desire for second front.
However. there was no hint in
either London or Moscow reports
of the conference of Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and Josef Stain
that any such move had been de-
termined upon.
London press reports took cau-
tious line concerning the meeting.
The opinion was expressed that the
discussions were predicted on be-
lief that Russia can hold on thru
the winter despite the ferocity of
the Nazi attack.
According to this view, the chief
object of discussion was the ques-
ton of supplies for the Red army
and the possibility of Allied rein
forcements from the Middle East If
the Caucasus situation should be-
come desperate.
There was speculation that
Churchill might summon a special
session of parliament or make a
world wide broadcast concerning his
Moscow discussions.
Moscow press comment was re-
strained but the Communist party
newspaper Pravda declared that the
meeting furthered close collabora-

Murder Charged
To CoIoneI's Girl

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 18 (UP)
Margaret Herlihy. attractive 81
year-old daughter of an Army col
onel was held today on a charge
of numbering her fiancee, Capt.
David Carr. 81, during a lovers
quarrel last Saturday.
Miss Herlihy, tall and titan
haired, was in custody in a hos
pital. Her father, Lieut.. Col Edward
Herlihy of Fort Huachuca, said the
girl was beaten by Carr before the
shooting which ended his life.
Herlihy carried his daughter into
court yesterday at her arraignment
on the first degree murder charge.
She wore no stockings, and her
legs were bruised. Her face was
lacerated and her lips we're swollen.
SELF DEFENSE PLEA
Herlihy indicated that she would
plead self defense. He said that
Carr had threatened to kill her,
and dispose of her body to make
it appear that she had been slain
by one of the Negro soldiers sta
toned at Fort Huachuca.
Carr was shot to death in the
home of the girls mother shortly
after returning with Miss Herihy
from Aqua Preita. just across the
Mexican border from here. They
were quarreling when they entered
the house, and went to a bedroom.
Carr was shot in the ribs and neck
with 80 caliber pistol, and died
after an emergency operation by
Army surgeons.
Carr made a brief statement be-
fore he died, but did not say what
the quarrel was about. Neither did
Miss Herlihy.
GIRL WEAK
Miss Herlihy sat between a nurse
, and police matron at her arraign-
ment. once she appeared faint, and
asked for a drink of water. She
paid little attention to the proceed
ings
She was NOS required to enter a
plea to the charge that she felon-
iously, premeditatedly, deliberately
and with malice aforethought did
kill and murder one David Carr.

manding officer of the Moffett
Field blimp base. refused to con-
cede that 1t. Ernest Dewitt, 81,
and Ensign Charles Adams, 80,
missing crew members, had lost
their lives. Search for them con-
tinued.
Navy technical experts made
thorough examination of the
wreckage yesterday and disclosed
that the blimps machinery had
been in perfect mechanical con-
dition despite its crewlesS journey.
The bag was ripped when the blimp
crashed into the street and it was
believed the craft had glanced
against a hill somewhere in its
flight because earth was imbedded
in the cowling of one engine and
the propeller blades were bent.
TWO THEORIES
There we're two principal theories
advanced unofficially for the dis
appearance of Cody and Adams.
The first held that they leaped
into the sea when the blimp lost
altitude for some unexplained rea-
son and were picked up by sur
face vessel which would maintain
radio silence until it returns to
harbor. Two lifebeltS of the type
normally worn b. crew members
we're unaccounted for and this fact
was used to support the "lost-at-
sea" theory.
The second theory was that when
the craft grazed the hill, the men
either leaped or were thrown out,
perhaps in some remote coastal
region where it would be difficult
to find them.
SEARCH FAILS
An extensive search off-shore
and throughout the countryside
was failed so far to reveal clue
to the disappearance of the two
fliers.
Cody was graduated from An
napolis in 1898 and reported at
Moffett Field last March. Adams,
veteran of 20 years service as an
enlisted man in lighter than air
craft, received his commission only
Saturday.
