Brazilian President Denies Seeking Dictatorial Powers B fcpnu t r ...... ... By JOSEPH SIMS United Preii International Rio De JaneiroTPD-Presi-dent Joao Goulart has taken to the air waves to deny re curring charges he is trying to assume more presidential powers. However, Conservatives con tinue to fear the Laborite president is seeking to annul Brazil's present par liamentary form of govern ment in favor of a strengthen ed presidential regime. Some rightist elements have accused Goulart of wanting to set up Adveoavarga? (dic tatorship) with his Labor par ty as a power nucleus. Fear of such motives has been heightened now with new Prime Minister Brochado Da Rocha'j informal request for "special legislative pow ers" from Congress. No one doubts that Rocha acts under Goulart' s orders. Social Democrats, National Democrats and other con servative parties m i s trust Rocha's request. Those who favor the pres ent parliamentary system introduced last September as a compromise that allowed Goulart to assume office see another attempt by the presi dent to win back the presi dential powers that were stripped from him and given to the prime minister. Dark Motives Others see even darker mo tives for the powers request. Influential "O Estado" of Sao Paulo recently opposed a speech by Goulart which call ed for a constituent assembly. The paper hinted that Goulart was seeking return to dicta torship through drastic modi fications to the constitution. Goulart denied any such in tentions in his nationwide speech. The cabinet itself has start ed working to allay fears and to convince the legislative and judicial branches of gov ernment of the need for a delegation of powers that would permit the government to institute badly-needed basic reforms. Centerist and Conservative forces are regaining positions of strength in the Chamber of Deputies after nearly 10 months of dangerous extreme leftist and Tightest jockeying for power. Ex-president Janio Quadros' resignation Aug. 25, 1061, nearly plunged the nation into a political military civil war and triggered a battle for power between extreme right and left, both within and out side congress. Reessuming Power The chamber's overwhelm ing rejection of ex-foreign minister San Tiago Dantas as prime minister is an impor tant indication that more mod erate forces are reassuming power after leaving a political vacuum in the wake of the Quadros resignation. Center and slightly left of center elements were an important part of Quadros' support. As the unpredictable ex-school teacher moved far ther and farther to the left, these forces became confused and demoralized. When Quad ros resigned the center col lapsed. Extremists then started their battle for power. Leftists staged "popular demonstrations" which often threatened to break into violence. Within the congress, leftist and Nationalist forces nearly pushed through a strict profit remittance bill that foreign investors said would choke off private capital. j Bank, communications and transport workers went on strike to demand inflation causing wage raises. Peasants March on Cities Leftists stepped up pressure j in Brazil's northeast as thous-! ands of starving peasants marched on cities and looted market places. j It was in this climate that i the stage was set for the nega- j tive vote on Dantas' name as j prime minister. ! The leftists called the nega tive vote "a bitter victory for the reactionary forces." Dantas said it was "political hatred" that defeated him. Conservatives said they re jected left-of-center Dantas because "he failed to inspire our confidence." Whatever the reason, politi- ( cal observers see the vote as a stiffening of spine by the j Conservatives who hold the the majority but had acceded their strength to the left. j The entire Chamber - as well as two-thirds of the Sen- ate - will be elected Oct. 7. ; The left has already begun campaigning - using the Dan tas defeat as a springboard against "the reactionary forces." ! If Conservatives are to con-! solidate this chamber victory ' they too must go to the people with reform proposals. No one 1 denies that Brazil is in fer ment and that its people des perately need social and eco- state oil monopoly, Petrobras. nomic reforms. Brazil has taken the big step toward expropriation of all foreign public utility com panies by forming a state monoply that will eventually control all power concessions in the country. The government announced earlier this summer formation of Eletrobras, a company set up along the lines of Brazil's For the present Eletrobras will operate as one of the many power concessionaires in Brazil. But soon it will take over the scores of foreign subsidiaries that now supply power and streetcar service in Brazil's major cities, observ ers believe. Brazil's cabinet has named a three-man commission to prepare a list of foreign com panies to be expropriated. A cabinet decree already has set down terms for expropriations and the three-man commission will negotiate with the com panies in accord with the de cree. American, Canadian Firms Biggest holders of pirolic utility subsidiaries in Brazil are two American companies, American and Foreign Power, and International Telephone MEDFORDsJlESiWrRIBUNE SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1962 PAGES 1 to 8 and Telegraph, and a Cana dian company, Brazilian Trac tion. The decree provides for payments of 10 per cent of the agreed value of a company to be made upon expropria tion. The remainder will be spread out over several years of installments. The decree requires 75 per cent of this indemnification to be reinvested in other Bra zilian enterprises as suggested by the National Planning com mittee. Valuation of each com pany is to be carried out by a three-man group made up of appointees from the govern ment, from the company in volved and a third "neutral" expert.

Colvig Writes About Jacksonville Visit Pinto Colvig, "The Village Clown," who visited In Jack sonville during the recent Gold Rush Jubilee, has writ ten a letter to Rudy Tetreault. Jacksonville, expressing his appreciation to the people of this area for making his visit "a most memorable and happy one." Colvig, who has lived in Hollywood, Calif., for many years, participated in the Jacksonville Silver Cornet Band which was in the Jubilee parade. "Was it ironical, (or planned)," Colvig wrote, "that the ceremony took place at identically the same spot where, (age 6) I first gazed upon that original old rcd-and-gold hand-wagon, back in the days of yore? Anyhow, I got the same big thrill!" Colvig visited Jacksonville with his son, Bourke, who is known as the Musical Clown, and his grandchildren. - HILLS BROS. COFFEE 1-lb. 63c 2-lbs. 1.25 6-oz.
