Brazilian Official Hits
Agitation on DISEASES
BY the Associofed Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Mar. 30
Foreign Minister Joao Neves Fon-
toura issued an official statement
today declaring 'it necessary to
terminate once and for all the po-
litical exploration of the subject Of
our naval and air bases used by the
United States or any other nation
that fought the Axis"
The North Americans have with
drawn from some of these bases and
are preparing to withdraw entirely
from the Others" Fontoura said.
THE reason these forces are not
already withdrawn is that we do not
possess the technical elements
necessary to good maintenance Of
these landing fields.
But this difficulty is being re-
moved Brazil cultivates the spirit
of Pan American cooperation to
the highest degree, but within its
territory there can only fly one flag
ours"
The foreign minister referred OBJ
Vlously to nation wide discussion
started by recent 3-hour speech
in Parliament by Communist Leader
Luis Carlos Prestes, who declared
the North Americans were occupy
ing Brazilian bases and building
others near the Argentine border
with the evident plan of fomenting
an imperialist war between Brazil

ellis refusing to delay the Iranian
case. and it was his proposal that
the Council seek to break the pres
ent impasse by diSpatching mes
sages to Moscow and Teheran.
While in Russian circles the feel
ing toward Mr.. Byrnes is rather
bitter. it must be said that the Sec

to provide Russia with every oppor-
tunity to present it's arguments for
postponement of the Iranian case,
while at the same time insisting that

II the Russian and Iranian replies
are satisfactory and show that real
progress has been made through di-
rect negotiations toward an agree
ment, and that undue armed pres
sure has not forced extraordinary
conditions on Iran, the Council may
decide not to proceed with hearing
the substantive matters involved in
the Iranian complaint. This would
have the effect of ending the case
for the time being, with the Council
still ready to reopen it If there

Russians Cut Claims
To Lands in Austria
By the Asseeiatad Press

VIENNA, Mar. 80. - A source
close to the Austrian government
said tonight Russian Army leaders
had withdrawn their demand for
l25, 900 acres Of Austrian farmland.
but had made fresh claim for
about 10000 acres.
This source said it was likely
that the withdrawal of the first
claim came as result of the dis
cussions at the Atlantic City
UNRRA Council meeting, but that
the new bid is for what the Rus
slams insist is German property
and thus Russia's under the terms
of the Potsdam agreement.
The new farms which the Rus
slams claim were owned largely by
Austrian Jews before 1888 and were
taken over by the Germans after
Anschluss. The farms include some
of Austria's most fertile acreages of
wheat and sugar beet country, the
informant said.
German holdings in Austria be-
fore the Anschluss were small. The
Russians, however. are interpreting
the Potsdam agreement to mean
that any property taken by the
Germans and held after Anschluss
until the end Of the war would be
subject to seizure for reparations,
the informant said The other
Allies take the position that prop
erty forcibly appropriated by the
Germans cannot be considered as
German property.
The question of land requisition-
ing was raised at the UNRRA meet
ing in Atlantic City this week, and
it was decided to withhold aid from
countries where all indigenous re-
sources were not being used Ap-
parently, the informant said the
Russians feel the appropriate of
the 10000 German" acres will
meet that objection.
