Thousands of hungry farmers leave dusty, sun-corched fields in the northeast in quest of food and work. Prices soar to new heights daily all over the country. Workers strike for higher wages and students strike for a greater voice in university affairs. Restlessness grows in military ranks. These are symptoms of a widening crisis that has stirred demands from some Brazilians for strong rule for authority of the kind traditionally exercised by the president but now sharply curtailed by the parliamentary system. The system was a compromise adopted during the crisis created by the surprise resignation of President Janio Quad roi last August Under parliamentary rule, Joao Goulart has the title of president but not the strong power. Critics cite the food shortage in Rio as an example of economic confusion that a strong hand could clear up. Most of the items in short supply here rice, beans, sugar and salt are available abundantly elsewhere in the nation. The shortages have been caused principally by producers and wholesalers attempting to get price increases and by government efforts to hold down prices to combat inflation. This has led to strikes by distributors who refuse to deliver any more of their products without a price increase. In nearly all cases, the government price control agency has stepped in and sold the products directly to the consum er. In all parts of the city lines of customers waiting to buy food from government trucks extend for blocks. "There's no leader, no feeling of authority in Brazil to day, says a student. Signs are appearing on buildings and walls throughout Brazil calling for a plebiscite to let the people decide on the form of government they want. Fifteen of the nation's 22 state governors agreed that it is time to take the issue to the people for a vote. The impetus for all this comes from Goulart himself who declares that it's time to "revitalize authority." But other voices, fearful of giving Goulart full executive power, are being raised in opposition. Among these are mili tary leaders, a majority of congress and personalities such as Gov. Carlos Lacerda of Guanabara, considered by many as the spokesman for the extreme right in Brazil. One deputy said it would take a crisis like the one last August to get Congress to approve another change of sys tems. Under the parliamentary setup. Congress has more power through its control of the selection and retention of the prime minister. Some lawmakers also fear that Goulart wants to become a dictator or, at least, a strong-man president of the Getulio Vargas type. He was once a political protege of Vargas. Before he became president, millionaire Goulart was ac cused by his critics of being too far to the left, of working with Communists to strengthen his political hand. But as president and leader of 70 million Brazilians he has moved to the middle of the road. His visit to the United States last April strengthened his hand with many Brazilians, and he saw an opportunity to call for "sweeping reforms at the base" which he said could be carried out successfully only through a revision of the constitution. And he hinted that a return to the presidential system would be helpful. Kennedy plans a return visit to Brazil July 30 to con tinue the talks started by Goulart in Washington. Goulart apparently has little hope of getting reforms pushed through before Kennedy's arrival. These and his bid for greater pow er will have a test later this year, when the nation holds Its congressional and gubernatorial elections in October, 4,000 Scientists to Meet At Oregon State in August OREGON STATE UNIVER SITY One of the nation's larg est scientific meetings that of the American Institute of Bio logical Sciences is scheduled for Aug. 26 to 31 at Oregon State University.
