0 President-Elect of Brazil Faced With Task of Completing Brasilia Rio de Janeiro - OIPI) - Bra lilia, the new federal capital which was President Jusce- lino Kubitschek's "dream town," seems likely to be come a handover for the in coming a d m i n 1 s tration of president-elect Janio Quad ros. Since Quadros has vowed to govern from the unfinish ed highland federal capital, it becomes the most urgent prob lem he must face. Brasilia will be nine months old when he takes over the govern ment. Though 85 per cent of fed eral administration workers stilly function in Rjo, the new capital's population exceeds 150,000. Most residents live in temp orary wooden dwellings out side the actual city because the feilk. of housing accommo; dations are still drawings for execution.1 Ccoste Rl'liir.ated - Estimates of the city's con struction costs run from a con- jftrvutive 100 billionruzeiros (6500 million) to 150 billions WffW millioli).

Nicaragua Will Abide by Court Managua, Nicaragua - IUPD - President Luis Somoza has announced officially that Ni caragua would abide by the decision of the World Court in favor of Honduras in the dispute involving an under developed region on the na tion's eastern border. Tn a mpa0n trt HnnHiiran .President Ramon Villeda Mo rales, Somoza said that al though Nicaragua considered that the court at The Hague had deprived it of "what we conceived in good faith as belonging to us, the decision would be accepted.

The nomadic tribeWanders naked through the forest avoiding contact with whites, who are slowly reducing their hunting grounds to farmland. Prof. Laureiro Fernandes of the University of Parana made a years-long-study of the tribe which calls itself "Xetas" pronounced shetas. He said the Xetas will come to a "violent end" unless their Serra Dos Dourados territory in Northwest Parana is de clared a national preserve.

They are now pocketed into a small area bounded by the Parana and Ivai rivers and can with draw no further because they have no boats, and do not know how to build them. The Xetas are called -Kuro-tons" (naked men) by other Indians who have come in contact with them. Their only clothing is a small fiber loin cloth some times worn by the men. Wom en and children always go naked, though on festive oc casions they adorn themselves with brilliant feathers of jun gle birds. Women fashion ear rings from the feathers. Though a peaceful people, the Xetas appear fierce be cause the men deform their lower lips by piercing them and inserting increasingly large discs of tree resin. This makes them somewhat re semble certain African tribes. Other Indians Shunned The Xetas shun other In dians and have never been known to v9ar with neighbor ing tribes. Their principal hunting weapon is the bow and arrow. They are also skilled at ma king traps for larger anSials such as the jungle tapir whose hide is too tough for arrows. They snatch fish by hand from river waters. According to Fernan d e s, they are gluttons for honey and ild bee larvae. Hojiey is their only source of sug?.

Their tools are made of wrought stone or bones of slain animals. They have no knowledge of pottery or ceramics but make receptacles by hollowing shells of a fruit called "cabaca." The Xetas were first be lieved related to the Tupi, largest Indian group in Brazil, but anthropologists, including Fernandes, now affirm they are linked with no other in digenous people In the coun try. Their language and vague pan theistic religious beliefs are unique. Fernandes admits no one knows the origin of the dying nomadic tribe. He said the threat of extinction which hangs over them also men aces hopes of unraveling the mystery. ! "These remnants of tha stone age will most certainly be destroyed when they ara forced to face the civilization of the atomic age. "Once more another nativa American people will die out, ingloriously, as a consequence of the merciless breath of civilization carried onward by the white race," he said.
