Brazil Announcement
OF Break With Russia
Believed Imminent
BY the Associoted Press

, RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil. Oct. 10.
A break in diplomatic relations
between Brazil and Soviet Russia
awaits only an official Brazilian an
nouncement, 1t appeared today.
Foreign Minister Raul Fernandes
held a long conference with Presi-
dent Eurico Gaspar Dutra, giving
rise to speculation that announce
ment of the break is imminent. A
high government source said yester-
day an official announcement could
be expected within 70 hours.
The newspaper Diario Anoite said
relations are already broken"
Another afternoon newspaper Fol-
ha Carioca said that Mr.. Fernandes,
when asked in an interview whether
he would make an official announce
ment, replied: "at the right oppor-
tunity, yes" The paper concluded
that this constitutes indirectly a
confirmation Of the break because
he did not deny the report"
Viewed As Turning Point.
The paper said it had learned
the Brazilian embassy in Moscow
had received a note of instructions
Evening star., 1947-10-19

on breaking relations with Russia
but did not give the source of this
report.
Mr.. Fernandes was quoted as say
ing however, that the Foreign Office
has furnished no information about
a break of diplomatic relations with
Russia. All reports on the subject
are journalistic"
The anticipated action Is being in
terpreted here as turning point In
Latin American relations with Rus
STA and communism and reaffirma-
ton of Brazil's traditional solidarity
with the United States.
Brazil is expected to charge Russia
with failure to give a satisfactory
response to Brazilian note asking
for an explanation of Soviet press
attacks on President Dutra, the
Brazilian army and the government
The nature of the Soviet reply has
not been made public. but 1t is
understood in well-informed circles
here that Russia refused to acknowl-
edge Brazil's protest.
Attacks on Dutra Protested.
Brazil protested attacks published
in Izvestia, official organ of the
Soviet government. These attacks
referred to President Dutra as a
Fascist and recalled the fact he had
received a decoration from Hitler
before the war. The paper also
said Mr.. Dutra was surrounded by
Fascist advisers and that Brazilian
army generals were trained only on
the coffee plantations of Sac Paulo.
An informed political source COM
menting on these attacks stressed
that if the same articles had been
published in a country with a free
press, then Brazil, which has a
free press itself, would never have
taken official offense. However, this
source added, these attacks were
published in a press which is con-
trolled by the government and must
be considered the official opinion
of the Soviet government, which
must be held responsible.
Referring to Mr.. ,Dutra's receiving
a German decoration in 1910, the
informant smiled and added: rus
sia is in no position to criticize
other peoples relations with Ger
many before the war" He then re-
called Brazil's participation in the
war with troops which fought in
italy as part of the United States
5th Army.
Others May Follow.
Other observers said Brazil's an
ticipated action and Chile's recent
expulsion of two Yugoslav d1plo-
mats on charges of bringing foreign
Communist influences into labor
relations in that country may FORE
shadow a position to be taken by
several countries at the inter-
American conference in Bogota, Co.
lombia, in January.
Brazil, covering nearly half South
America and with 45,OO0,00O inhab-
itants having about half the con-
tinent's population, already has out
lawed the Communist Party. The
party in Brazil was the largest in
the Western Hemisphere, with 300
900 members and control over the
votes of an additional 100000.

tain in the new rose garden in Po-
tomac Park, south of Independence
avenue and east of Twenty-third

velopment of Washington.

NIT enlarging the nearby water sup
lply system as war measure The
fountain now is in a National Capt.
tai Parks storehouse here.
Park officials plan to place the
fountain as major feature of the
new rose garden. The area now is
occupied by the wartime WAVE bar
racks. The old rose garden is being
relocated to clear the way for con-
struction of the abutments of the

Large American Group
Attending Auction Of
Furs in Leningrad
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, July 25.-The interna-
tional fur auction in Leningrad is
going full swing with more than 100
foreign buyers present, including, a
large group from the United States,
in the first large scale invasion of
foreign businessmen into the Soviet
Union since before the war.
According to reports from Lenin-
grad the auction, being held under
the auspices of Soyuzpushnina
Soviet fur marketing organization
is marked by heavy buying, solid
prices and good furs.
Philip Dickman, representing
Lands Bros. and United American
Furs, said on the telephone from
Leningrad that sables, ermine, and
Persian lamb represented the pick
of the large lot being offered.
Mr. Dickman said the choice items
largely are being picked off by
American representatives of many
fur brokers and individual firms.
The auction formally opened July
81 with a. large banquet given by
Soyuzpushnina for attending buyers.
Actually, however, the buyers ar
rived July 10 in order to inspect the
lots which were on exhibition.
Since July 81 sales have been going
on every day from 10 am. to 8 pm.
This intensive schedule has tired
buyers and seriously interfered with
the gala social life under Leningrad's s
white nights which had been char
acteristic of the sales before the war
The buyers are housed in the we'll
known, comfortable Astoria Hotel.
Sales proceed in the famous Fur
Auctions Building devoted solely to
Russia's large fur trade and designed
particularly to handle auctions.
The sales will end July rs when
visiting buyers will leave and Mos
cows colony of American fur buyers
regularly living in Thea Metropole
Hotel in the Soviet capital will re-
turn to sit out the winter and carry
on their regular, little advertised
business of handling Russia's major
export to the United States.

Treasury Plans to Foil Sharks
Who BOUGHT Up Oil Leave Bonds

liz necessary-to make sure that the
bonds are not cashed by someone
other than the original owner.
If the banks are properly alert
and neglect will be at their own risk
the Treasury said it believes 1t can
stop illegal buyers from getting any
money at all.
Numerous reports of cut-rate
cashing have been received here.
Mostly, complaints have come
from veterans relating that, hard
pressed for quick cash, they Endorsed
their bonds over to persons who paid
them only so to 80 cents on the dol
lar of bond value.
Other complaints are that mer-
chants have taken the bonds-not
always at q discount-in payment
on veterans purchases.
The law, however, forbids trans
fer of ownership Of the bonds and
also protects them against levy or
seizure under legal process.

By the Assoeiotsd Press

Moscows refusal to permit three
members of Congress to visit Russia
rubbed raw today new point OF tr-
ritation between Congress and the
Soviet Union.
The turn down produced:
/. "A proposal that hundreds,
maybe thousands, Of Russians be
expelled from the United States.
2. A curt letter to Soviet Ambas-
sador Nikolai v. Novikov about dip
lomatic deterrents."
8. Complete junking Of plans for
the trip.
4. A rise in congressional tenn
peratures, especially that of Rep.
Kersten, Republican, of Wisconsin.
MIR. Kersten is chairman of q
three-man House labor subcommit-
tee which was supposed to 60 to
Russia In September to study educa-
ton and labor to determine the
amount Of freedom allowed students,
teachers and workers.
The State Department issued
passports to Mr.. Kersten and to
Representatives Owens, Republican
Of Illinois, and Kennedy, Democrat,
of Massachusetts.
But Moscow refused visas.
The reason, Mr.. Kersten was told
in letter from Yuri M. Bruslov,
| chief Of the consular division OF the
Soviet Embassy:
Lack of hotel accommodations
and some other shortages, both in
Moscow and in the big educational
and industrial centers, caused by the
war"
AS a result, the letter said, trips
of foreign tourists are not yet posi-
BILE for the time being"
Mr.. Kersten got off a letter yes
terday to Secretary Of State Mar
shall and another to Ambassador
Novikov.
He told Gen. Marshall:
when a congressional subcom-
mittee is refused visas by the Rus
sian Embassy because of lack Of
hotel accommodations I submit it
is entirely in order for you to re-
quest the immediate removal Of all
excess Russian nationals, registered
and unregistered, residing. In our
country, because of the acute hous-
ing shortage in the United States.
Asks Strict Reciprocity.
Further, he asked Gen. Marshall
10 put into effect strict reciprocity"
and authorize the residence in this
country OF only that number Of Rus
sian nationals as is permitted to
citizens of the United States In the
Soviet Union"

F|emming Asks Senate
ToRestore S7,710,000
For Full Loyalty Probe
By Joseph Young

Civil Service Commissioner Ar
thur S.. Flemming today asked the
Senate Appropriations Committee
for S7,710,000 more than allowed
by the House in order that Presi-
dent Truman's Federal loyalty in
vestigation program may be carried
out "on a full scale"
Mr.. Flemming said that while the
$11 ,O00,00 allotted by the House
yesterday would permit adequate
investigations of Federal employees
already on the payroll, it would cur
tail somewhat investigations of Fed
eral job applicants.
In addition, Mr.. Flemming said
that unless more funds were granted
the commission could not go ahead
with the plan to conduct especially
thorough loyalty investigations OF
applicants for so-called sensitive
jobs of a military and scientific ma
ture.
FBI Fared Better.
The House gave the commission
only $3,500,000 of the SIG, 100000 II
originally had requested. Mr.. Flem-
ming said he was asking that only
$7,710,000 of the request be re-
stored because the original estimate
had been based on the assumption
that the program already would
have started. The FBI Jared much
better at the hands of the House
receiving s7,500,000, which was
nearly all it requested.
II the Senate Appropriations
Committee and the Senate go along
with the House, even to the extent
of only $11,000,000, a Federal en-
ploye loyalty investigation program
will get under way this year. Civil
Service Commission and FB1 off,
cials have completed plans for the
Investigations and need only the
money to put the program into ef-
feet.
A group of liberal Senators are
expected to object on the Senate
floor to the proposed loyalty inves-
legations on the grounds that they
would deprive Federal employees OF
basic civilgrights. If vigorous floor
fight naterializes, it could Hold up
tomorrow's scheduled adjournment
of Congress.
Under the House bill, the FB1
would carry out the brunt of the
investigations, with the Civil Serv-
ice Commission doing the prelim-
mary work. The commission how
ever, would have jurisdiction over
the various appeal boards.
