for the helicopter to land and
Watson assisted in lifting the

UPI While House Reporter
Washington - (UPD - Back
stairs at the White House:
At President Eisenhower's
last news conference, he was
asked a long question about
the public morality involved
in the television quiz scandals
of last year.
There was a lag of several
moments before Eisenhower
answered. During this brief
interval the still cameras at
the rear of the conference
room set up a noisy clatter as
the photographers shot
rapidly one picture after an
other. Later, the lensmen were
asked about the sudden burst
of activity. Many reporters
had their heads down making
notes at the time and noticed
nothing unusual going on.
Many Gestures
The photographers, how
ever, pointed out that Eisen
hower has a number of char
acteristic gestures he employs
during press conferences and
that during the brief stage
wait, he seemed to' run
through his 'entire catalogue
of hand motions.
He straightened his tie, he
put one hand over his nose,
he brushed something from
his coat and clasped his arms.
One photographer described
the scene:
"He was as busy as a third
base coach calling for a
double steal in the last of the
ninth inning."
munism over Capitalism?"
Then Eisenhower as
asked, "what do you tb jf
such remarks?
'It's Crazy'
"I think it's crazy," Eisen
hower shot back.
Most of the reporters in
the front rows of the con
ference room understood him
accurately. Some however,
thought Eisenhower said "I
think he's crazy." That was
the way a widely used unoffi
cial transcript of the confer
ence, subscribed to by most
news organizations in Wash
ington, got the President's
words.
The first stories out of the
conference reported Eisen
hower's reaction accurately,
but then the transcript was
distributed and things began
to pop.
There could have been ser
ious international reprecus
sions from the President's
last meeting with reporters.
He was told of a recent
statement by Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev to this
effect: "Our flag is flying on
the moon. This means some
thing. Is this not enough to
prove the superiority of Com-
Appeals Court Hears
Chessman Lawyer
San Francisco-(UPD-The 9th
U.S. Court of Appeals, hear
ing the case of kidnaper-sex
terrorist Caryl Chessman, was
told Monday that the U. S.
Constitution itself was on
trial.
Attorney George T. Davis
made this impassioned plea
during arguments that Chess
man had unconstitutionally
been denied the right to ap
peal his case directly to the
tribunal.
Federal law provides that
Chessman must get "a certi
ficate of probable cause" for
appeal from a single judge
before the whole court can
consider it.
Such a certificate was de
nied Chessman last week by
Chief Judge Richard H.
Chambers of the appeals tribunal.
Press Secretary Jim Hag-
erty was disturbed as tele
phones' in his ofice began to
clang. Had the president
really meant to say that
Khrushchev was a crazy
man?
Three times H a g e r t y
checked the tape recording of
the conference. He even had
some of the White House re
porters listen to the- tape.
There could be no mistake.
Eisenhower said the word
"it's."
Film Checked
Then the television crews
who had photographed the
conference on sound film be
gan to check their film back
from the developing labs and
they confirmed the White
House tape.
The commercial transcript
service distributed a correc
tion about two hours later.
The press associations were
able to catch the error in
their transcripts but during
the afternoon, the word
buzzed around Washington
that Eisenhower had called
Khrushchev a maniac.
This is the sort of human
error that is highly difficult
to avoid and human error on
occasion is inescapable.

Eisenhower Will Learn Economic Needs
Of South Americans on 4 Nation Tour
Editor's note: President Eisen
hower arrives in Rio De Janeiro on
Feb. 23 to start his 10-day, four
nation tour of South America. In
this, the second of a series of ar
ticles, UPI's Latin American editor
reports on the problems the Presi
dent will encounter in Brazil and
sketches the personalities he will
meet.
By FRANCIS L. McCARTHY
President Eisenhower will
get his first close look at an
acute South American prob
lem, galloping inflation, dur
ing his three-day stay in Bra
zil. He will get his first con
crete indication of what ad
ditional economic aid our hem
isphere negihbors would like
from their northern compa
triots. . .
Labelled by some "an econ
omist's nightmare," Brazil is
the largest of the South Amer
ican nations. Its 65 million
people live in an area of over
five million square miles, an
area roughly the size of the
entire United States.
Only the Soviet Union, Can
ada and China exceed Brazil
in size.
Brazil baffles the economist
because of the inconsistencies
of its complex industrial sys
tem. Inflation Rampant
In theory, the country
should be bankrupt. The Jus
celino Kubitschek regime has
printed more money in . its
three years in office than all
previous Brazilian govern
ments combined. -
Inflation is rampant. An
nual cost of living increases
are estimated in excess of
more than 30 per cent. The
coffee crop, the world's larg
est and the country's biggesi
single export, is selling at
crisis prices.
CAROLE'S EX-HUSBAND-James Pappa, husky ex-husband
of Carole Tregoff, was a visitor at her trial Monday and
would not say whether he was going to take the stand.
Pappa, shown as he read a paper before start of the trial,
did say that he hoped Carole "gets out of it and I think
she will," but added that he wouldn't mind if she went
to prison for a couple of years. Pappa said he didn't care
what happened to Dr. R. Bernard Finch, Carole's codefend
ant accused of murdering Mrs. Barbara Finch.

Yet, conversely, industry is
booming. More than 40,000
new factories have opened up
since 1950. Foreign investors
are fighting to be allowed to
participate in the upswing.
Gross investment has doubled
in five years. The city of Sao
Paulo, flanked by vast jungles
and barren plains on each
side, has become the industrial
capital of South America.
The government is to in
augurate a new federal capi
tal, Brasilia, in April. It has
won world recognition as a
symbol of modern Brazilean
culture.
Study in Coniiast
President Kubitschek, like
Brazil, is a study in contrast.
A political conservative, he is
a man of daring modern busi
ness concepts. Meeting finan
cial emergencies with "print
ing press" methods, Kubits
chek shocks the economists
but keeps his nation humming
with industrial activity. Or
ganized labor is strong and
active.
A surgeon in private life,
Kubitschek is an energetic 57
years of age. He is up for re
election in October.
He is the author and prin
cipal sponsor of what has been
styled "Operation Pan Amer
ican," a daringly conceived
plan, praised by some and
criticized by others, designed
to bring economic stability to
the hemisphere.
Inside Information Is that
Brazil will seek a new and
laige United States loan'when
the presidents of the two
countries meet. The U.S. is by
far - 40 per cent of imports
and exports the nation's
largest single customer.
