around $2,500 in this country would seu tor $35,000 in Brazil.
When we asked if she didn't mean $3,500, Miss M. insisted that
the higher figure was right. The Brazilian government wants to

prohibitive controls. That nation produces no automobiles all
On the other hand, Brazilians traveling abroad are permitted
to take home several hundred dollars worth of merchandise
almost any kind and Miss M. was trying to figure out how she
can take home a car along with her clothing, luggage and all
the presents she wants to buy for 11-brothers and sisters and
