Allied Nationals Study At Fleet Sonar School

Editors note-This is the Sc
cond in a series of articles to be
released on Allied Nationals study
ing at Fleet Sonar School.)
Men of South America as well as
European Navies come to Fleet
Sonar School to study so that both
countries friendly to the United
States and the United States itself
may be strengthened in the cause
of freedom. Lieutenants Cassie
Prado Ribeiro and Jorge Sylvio
Menezes de Castillo of the Brazil
liam Navy arrived at Fleet Sonar
School for this reason some months
ago.
1t. Ribeiro was born in 1928 in
Rio de Janeiro, the capital and
chief port of Brazil. Brazil, dis
covered for Portugal in 1900 by
Pedro Alvares Cabral, is the only
South American country whose
language is Portuguese. The eli
mate of Brazil is much like that Of
Key West. There is very little diff
ference in either place between
seasons.
Brazilian Academy
1t. Ribeiro entered the Escola
Naval, the Brazilian Annapolis, at
Is and was graduated from the five
year course in December of '43.
First assigned as an engineer a
board the destroyer Greenhalgh,
1t. Ribeiro helped rescue men from
the crews of five Brazilian merch-
ant ships torpedoed by German
submarines within four days in
1914. During WW11, the Green
halgh also escorted conveys to
Gibralter and Trinidad.

named after a state in northern
Brazil, the capital of which is
most famous for its high and low
tides. Ships anchored at Sac Luiz
must anchor in the center of the
bay or be grounded when the tide
goes out.
1t. Castillo was assigned as
Gunnery Officer in June 1945 to
the destroyer Matte Crosse which
operated out of Rio de Janeiro,
one of the five Brazilian Naval Op-
Grating Bases. Other bases are
located at Recife, Natal, Bahia,
and Para.
Submarine Training
One year at sub school preceded
1t. Castilho's assignment to the
submarine Tamoyo in August 194s.

both lieutenants agreed. In Brazil
one must shop in a different store
for meat, for groceries, and for
staples such as sugar and coffee.
In the United States all these types
of items can be found in one store.
U. S. inhabitants can also buy with
out wait any manufactured article
they wish. In Brazil one must
sometimes wait for importation.
Both men agreed that they had
made numerous friends here and
that during their stay they had
learned very many interesting
things.
"We would like to come back
another time" they stated.

WASHINGTON R-Russia might
be able to use a lead in atomic
industrial power development as
a lever to outmaneuver the United
States in the cold war between
communism and the free world.
American atomic officisls con-
templated this prospect in the
light of the Soviet's claim to have
put into operation a nuclear power
plan with a 5,0O0-kilowatt electric
al power output.
While there was no immediate
official confirmation of the an
nouncement made by Moscow ra-
dio Wednesday, there also was no
disposition to deny that the Rus
SLAMS had succeeded in getting an
atomic power plant into operation.
Experts here well remembered the
success of the Reds in producing
a nuclear fission explosion in 1919
several years before the time gen.
orally predicted.
Those who look upon peaceful
use of atomic power as an instru-
ment of national policy contend:
The nation which first succeeds
in building practical atomic pow
er plants capable of being as
sembled in compon ents and
shipped overseas will have an in
strument to offer power-poor ma
tons such as those of southeast
and southern Asia, the Middle
East, North Africa and in similar
places.
If Russia should be ready frs
for the building and export of such
plants, they say, she would have
a good bargain to offer small ma
tons which might be wavering be
tween the free world and commu
nism.
This is one of the arguments o.
those who urge a speedup in the
United States atomic industrial
power development program, t
telescope into something less thar

This Rock
Of Ours

The other day I received an
anonymous envelope through the
mail. Inside was an exceptionally
well.written little tract concerning
the Bible. Point of the situation is
that there was no name of the
sender.
Why do people have to be
ashamed of religion? Is it because
they are afraid that if they speak
OF the subject and then don't live
a sanity life, they will be called
hypocrites?
Good gosh, what ignorance!
don't know of a bigger sinner on
the face of the earth than myself.
That dosn't make me a hypocrite
because talk about metaphysics
in these private, intimate columns.
Heck! bad as l am, I would be a
darn sight worse if 1 didn't ask
for help and advice from others.
So what are you afraid of?
When you write letters, sign your
name. And when you speak of
God or spiritual experiences, don't
lower your voice as if you were
shamefully admitting some mortal
sin. In the past, both Christians
and Jews have become martyrs
for their religious beliefs. Nova
days, about half of the population
will proudly talk about visiting a
saloon. a gambling joint, or some
brothel but they flush with embar-
rassment if they accidentally be-
tray interest in God.
Salvation Army
There is one thing like about
the Salvation Army-its members
don't make any bones about what
they believe in! OF course, that
much can be said for the pastors
and leaders in any religious
movement. It is the ordinary lay
men who try to make the entire
subject "hush, hush" proposition.
Enough Of this. And thanks to
the sender of the tract. It was
well-worth reading.

win you folks help q guy who is
laundering around in q fog? I'm
the guy. It's like this:
I've volunteered to help get the
names of all civic. fraternal, and
religious organizations within the
community. My army days should
have taught me better than to
stick my neck out!
There are dozens and dozens OF
outfits here in Key West. After
trying to list a few which auto.
matically popped into my mind
Lions, Elks, Masons, etc.-I gave
up in disgust. Nearly everyone Of
those outfits is also divided into
several branches or orders, especi-
ally the Masons.
Here's what 1 need: THE NAME
OF EACH ORGANIZATION IN
TOWN; IT'S PRIMARY FUNC-
TION; AND THE NAME OF IT'S
PRESIDENT OR DIRECTOR!
That is for both colored and white
groups-large or small.
Telephone Or Write
Do you know that there isn't an
authentic list of ALL Key Vests
many organizations! Please help
me make one.
Telephone or write me q card
about your group. Be sure and
give an address where I can con.
tact its representative. And don't
depend upon someone else doing it.
I'm at home nights and if I'm not
in The Citizen building during the
day, you can leave your message.
A directory Of this sort will be
invaluable and I hope to be able to
make enough copies to furnish all

AS a resident Of government

Anyone on a government reser-

refuse to believe that a first or
second offense of speeding alone
has or ever will lead to eviction.
Perhaps that is not such a bad
idea. Has H. V. B. ever seen a
child that has been hit by a car
that was speeding in a crowded
residential district?
Of course, we in Sigsbee still
pay state taxes on rental, as well
as other purchases made out here.
Taxation without representation is
something that schoolchildren Of
my generation were taught was the
basic reason for the Revolution.

GIRLS CAN SPEED
UP THE SEARCH

OMAHA R - If a girl is looking
for a man she might well learn
to fly to speed up her search.
That's the advice OF Kenneth

program at Stephens College for
Women at Columbia, Mo.
He told an air institute here
1.-The girls can really get around
when they fly. They fly home on
weekends from college. They fly
here and there. You're bound 70

Sir Keith Hancock, a British con-

The British government and Sir

say the Kabaka will not return,
Cohen kicked him out because he
demanded independence.
The Kabaka, as a result, has be-

enjoyed only lukewarm support
from some groups before.
Now the Uganda Legislature,
called the Great Lukiko, has
pledged its unanimous loyalty to
him. The Lukiko meets regularly
but the Kabaka's throne, at the
head OF the chamber, is vacant.
The throne is on a .dais covered
