The Consul General at São Paulo (Cameron) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 1—11:25 a.m.]
Feeling among volunteers and the people better, Klinger freely accused of bungling or disloyalty. Isidoro Lopes published a statement that he was not consulted regarding request for armistice. On the 29th from one to two thousand political prisoners and Communists were given liberty and now constitute dangerous element. In the rioting against armistice yesterday about 6 killed and unknown number wounded; commerce closed in the afternoon. Fighting recommenced on Campinas front yesterday, that city being taken by Dictator troops last night; Paulistas driven back apparently on Jundiai.
British warship Scarborough this morning anchored off Palmas Island near the entrance to Santos Harbor.
Repeated to the Embassy.
