Brazil Leaders Near Settlement Of Price Crisis RIO DE JANEIRO (UPI) President Joao Goulart and oppo sition leaders in Congress ap peared headed today for a settle ment of the political crisis that has touched off widespread rioting against high prices and food shortages. After a week-long power stru gle, Goulart and congressional leaders were reported near agree ment on measures to end or mod ify Brazil's nine-month-old parlia mentary system. The agreement would settle the basic dispute over whether the president or Congress has final governmental power. The political uncertainty has brought into the open public dis content over economic problems. At least nine persons have been reported killed in rioting, looting, shooting and fighting triggered in Rio de Janeiro's industrial sub urbs by a general strike called Thursday by labor leaders in sup port of Goulart.
