A base was constructed along an isolated beach, and the police found huge quantities of gasoline nearby. They also found 40'0,000 rifle bullets and a large number of automatic riot rifles in a raid'on an unnamed locality. Eleven Japanese were arrested in the city of Mesquita when the police broke up a meeting at which they found a military map of Brazil showing strategic points marked in red ink.
