The Brazilian Government announced today that the National 
Geologic Service finally had verified the existence of long 
suspected helium gas supplies in Brazil. The Government said 
that the helium had been found in Sao Paulo Privince and that 
the gas existed in commercially practicable quantities. The 
announcement contained no further details. 
Stuttgart : 
This city experienced, during the last nine days, the first 
violent anti- Jewish boycott campaign since 1933; Tactics 
were similar to those used in Berlin last month, in an effort 
to drive the lews out of their economic life. Jewish shop 
windows and show cases were plastered with bright yellow pla- 
cards bearing inscriptions, "Jewish -Business” , and with the 
Star of David beside it. 
On account of the large number of Italian workers vacationing 
in Stuttgart, the placards also bore the same inscriptions 
printed in the Italian equivalent, "Negozio Ebreo”. Crowds 
gathered daily before many of the Jewish shops and stores and 
ridiculed any shoppers 'who might be tempted to enter. 
According to witnesses, the majority of the crowds wore party 
designations. : ; if. * * r r.'t vd t’ h •! ,: o was no official 
interference with the boycotting activities. It was learned 
that the Nazi secret police arrested a number of persons who 
criticized Nazi- Jewish policy. 
Canton: 
Japanese aerial bombs told the old story of death and des- 
truction again today in war-torn Canton. The Nipponese 
bombing squadron swooped low over the city to rake Canton with 
machine gun fire. Damage was heavy. Scores of victims were 
buried under the debris.

On the Yangtze front, the Japanese batteries hammered at 
Chinese positions east of Kiukiang in an effort to break 
through for a final advance on Hankow. Chinese reports denied 
that the Japanese had destroyed the forts on Lion Hill on the 
Yangtze. Capture of the forts would open the way for a march 
on Kiukiang. 
Nipponese said a large army was moving along the western shore 
of Lake Poyang to cut off a possible retreat by the defenders 
at the Lion Hill Forts. Japanese forces on the Northern Front 
were imperiled by new flood threats from the Yellow River. 
Fighting continued along the Peiping — Tientsin highway as 
Chinese guerilla bands attacked Japanese positions. Reports 
said that the Chinese had regained control of the highway. 
New York: 
The Russian News Agency "Tass" issued a communique denying 
the Japanese allegation that Soviet troops violated the Man- 
churian Border and occupied Manchoukuon Territory near Lake 
Chanci, on 11 July. "Not a single Red fighter ever crossed 
the Soviet Border".
