In Brazil
By Haig Nicholson
Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 21. Explosions and a fire which recently 'disturbed the Sunday night peace of the Rio suburb of Nilopolis did more than reveal the existence of a secret school for training Communist agents in subversion by the use of propaganda and arms.
They provided fresh proof that the Communists in Brazil, though banned as a party, are operating actively underground, and gave Secret Service men fresh leads to follow up in their war against political elements working against the interests of the State.
The school for subversion was Recife, the capital of Pernam- In a wooden shack behind the buco, has a Communist Mayor. house at 300 Soares Neivo Nilopolls.

There were, for example, con- fidential military manuals and textbooks meant for use only in the highest military circles. This particular discovery, which the

Ceylon-China Trade Hits
Snag
Colombo, Feb. 21, Trade between Ceylon and China hit a snag today be cause of French" reluctance to be the "third party" to a deal.
Under a bilateral agreement, China was supposed to buy flour from France to be shipped to Ceylon. Delivery of the flour would offset a growing Chinese debt to Ceylon under a rubber- rlee trade agreement.

But the French government was understood to have refused to Issue an export permit for the shipment of 30,000 tons of Wheat four to Ceylon.
