Foreign Minister Alberto
Guani late today indicated that
Uruguay would follow BraZils
lead in declaring war against
the Axis.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug.
%. (UP) - Brazil declared
war today on Germany and
Italy.
The declaration was made
after a week of rising agitation
which followed the sinking by Nazi
submarines of six Brazilian ships
with the loss of possibly 600 lives.
Brazil was the first nation south
OF Panama to declare war on the
Axis and her action was expected
to have far reaching repercussions
in the attitude of other South
American nations. 2.
The official announcement of the
declaration was not immediately
made public here. 1t was expected
that the public would be informed
at about p. m, following a con-
ference between Foreign Minister
Oswaldo Aranha and other men,
berS of the cabinet.
MAY SEVER RELATIONS
1t was believed that Chile. which
excepting Argentina, is the only ma
ton in South America continuing
diplomatic relations with the Axis
may sever relations.
Several other South American
countries, it was thought, may now
follow Brazil's lead and make formal
declarations of war.
1t was the second time Brazil
had entered a world conflict She
took similar action in the first
World War
The action was taken today af.
ter the Brazilian diplomatic corps
was instructed to advise the other
nations of the western hemisphere
of her stand

Labor leaders. company and gov

to stave off or settle grievance
WalkoutS that threatened war pro-
duction in basic industries in the
east, middle east and on the Pacific
coast and Canada.
In Los Angeles, 1900 United Au-
tomobile Workers tCIO) resumed
work today after a one-day walk
out at the large Vernon, Cal. plant
of the aluminium Company of
America. William b. Taylor, UAW
west coast director, urged a re-
turn to work and read a telegram
from the war labor board which
said this is an inopportune time to
strike against the government"
PROTEST STRIKE
The Walkout unauthorized by the
union, had been called in protest
against dismissal of 80 workers. The
shutdown of the aluminium plant
threatened closing of the Vultee
Aircraft, Inc and airplane parts
plants.

The NaZi forces were thruSting
at the Don river elbow and at
some points were only 40 miles
short of Stalingrad and severance
of Russia's vital Volga river com-
munications line.
Moscow reports said that the
SOvietS were counterattacking con-
stantly at the maSsed Nazi armored
strength and infantry cadres but it
was admitted the pressure was too
great to be Withstood at several
points.
The Germans were said to have
brought up fresh troops and re
grouped the attack forces for the
climatic effort OF breach the Stain
grad approaches.
A Nazi drive second in power only
to that at Stalingrad was rolling
deeper into the Caucasus and the
Soviet naval base of Novorossisk ap-
peared to be in imminent danger.
BATTLE IN PACIFIC
The Russo-German battle dwarfed
in size the spreading American tao
tical offensive in the southeast Pa
cific. Here the American marines
| in the SolomonS and at Maxim is
land, in the Gilberts, made cleerr
that they are engaged in a fight
to the death.
Official communiqueS reported al
most 1000 Japanese casualties in a
series of battles revealed that only
80 japanese prisoners had been
taken.
In London speculation centered
on the next Allied move in the
! gathering effort to carry the war
back to Germany. Some London
observers netting the success with
which American flying fortresses
are carrying out daylight attacks
suggested that one of their early
objectives may be Berlin.
Private adyices from Jugoslavia
reported that Gen. Draja Mihailo-
vich'S guerilla airforce is now har-
asSing Axis forces and told of
fierce battles in which Hihailovich S
forces had seized towns and killed
several hundred German and Ital-
ian troops.
Official American communicates
revealed that in three bloody en-
| pp,iptprc thp marines had takan an
prisoners and wiped out 762 Japa-
neSe.
The actions were in the Solo-
mons, where the marines steadily
mopped up the areas under their
control and fought off Japanese
counterattacks, and on Maxim is
land of the Gilbert group.
DESTRUCTION RAID
The Gilbert action was revealed
to have been raid of destruction.
Marines fought their way onto the
island, destroyed Japanese installa-
tons, crippled the small Japanese
garrison and then withdrew, their
mission accomplished. They were
led by 1t. Col. Evans F.. Carlson.

WAGE DISPUTE

AT San Diego, Cal, approximately
half of the AFL electricians employ
ed at the marine base at Camp
Pendelton walked out yesterday
without calling a strike. The elev-
enth naval district announced the
walkout apparently was caused by
dissatisfaction over wage sched-
ules despite earnings of $3.50 a
week
In Minneapolis, representatives. CT
the Regulated Motor Transit as
sociation met last night to consid-
er action in a threatened strike
by over-the road truck drivers in
II midweStern states. The Walkout
was ordered by the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (AFL) in
protest OF the WLB's failure to hand
down final recommendations in a
wage dispute. Union officials said
they had no information the strike
was in progress.
In Washington, Secretary of
Labor Francis Perkins certified four
labor disputes at New York, Blue
Island, H., Kalispell, Mont, and
