Brazilian President Denies Seeking Dictatorial Powers

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

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

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

The decree requires 75 per
cent of this indemnification
to be reinvested in other Bra

mittee. Valuation of each com

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. -
