VICTIMS OF U-BOATS
TWO BRAZILIAN SHIPS (10 a.m.) RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 15. Submarines sank two Brazilian merchantmen in the Atlantic on September 29. These are the first sinkings since Brazil declared war. Many submarine commanders operating in South American waters are officers of the sunken pocket battleship Graf Spee, who were interned at Buenos Aires and fled to Germany via Brazil, says the Rio de Janeiro correspondent of the New York Times. Two hundred are reported to have crossed the Brazilian frontier, 1 where the German Embassy took them over. Some were experienced marine officers, fully conversant with South American waters.
