BY HAROLD b. ROGERS.

Neither the people of Washington
nor of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have a
vote in their respective governments,
but there are striking and interest
ing differences in the management
of the two national capitals and OF
their respective nations.
In the United States a democratic
form of government grants to all its
residents, except aliens, convicts,
lunatics and Washingtonians. the
right of suffrage. In Brazil, where
formerly the people voted, President
Getulio Vargas, the strong man. still
holds the title of President, but is
better known as a "benevolent' die
tator." He assumed national power,
and in 1887 replaced the constitu-
ton CT 1884 with new one. dis
solved Congress and all state legis-
latllres and municipal councils. The
buildings in Rio which formerly
housed the Senate and Chamber of
Deputies, where elected representa-
tives of the people sat in democratic
procedure, have been turned to other
purposes. There are no more popu-
lar votes in Brazil.

Gen. Hertzog, Former Premier
OF South Africa, Dies at 76
Advocate of Strict
Neutrality in War
Was III Two Months

Ey the Associated Press.
CAPETOWN, Nov. 21.-Gen. J..
B. M. Hertzog, 76, who lost his
post as Prime Minister of the
Union of South Africa after the
outbreak of war in 1899, when
Parliament voted down his pro-
posal for strict neutrality, died
today. He had entered a hos
pital here two months ago for
an abdominal operation.
He had served his country as
Prime Minister for Is years when
war came. Instead of following
Great Britain Immediately in break
ing with Germany, Gen. Hertzog
proposed that relations with bellig-
erent countries persist unchanged"
Parliament. however, voted to
sever relations with Germany, and
Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts
was named to form new cabinet.
Resigned From Parliament.
Later Gen. Hertzog resigned as a
member of Parliament and espoused
a National Socialist new order" At
various times he proposed that
South Africa's state of war with
Germany be ended and, before his
resignation, offered a resolution in
Parliament for peace with Germany.
Long at odds with Marshal SHUTS
politically, Gen. Hertzog nevertheless
included Marshal Smuts in a coali-
tion government which he headed in
1888 and fought for a fusion of the
countrys two leading parties.
He first gained fame in the Boer
War of 1899-1902 and became a
central figure in South Africa's
stormy political life as an uncom-
promising proponent of equality for
the British and Dutch, South
Africa'S two white peoples, and an
opponent of imperialism.
James Barry Munnik Hertzog was
born April 3, 1866, at Wellington,
Cape Colony. and was educated in
Victoria College, Stellenbosch, and
Amsterdam University, where he
took his degree in law. He married
Jacoba Wilhelmina Neethling of
Stellenbosch in 1894. They had
three sons.
A judge in the Orange Free State
when the Anglo-Boer war broke
out, he was made a legal adviser to
the republican forces and, forging
his way to leadership, became a
general When the conflict was
apparently over, he was largely re-
sponsible for reviving the war spirit
as venturesome guerrilla leader.
He played prominent part in
the making of the peace, being one
OF the signers of the treaty of
Vereeniging, but here displayed
against the moderate counsels of
Marshal SHUTS and Gen. Louis

Rev. {. D. Weedon Dies;
Served as Vicar Here

The Rev. Clarence Dexter Weldon,
SO, who once served as vicar of st.
Agnes Chapel here, died yesterday
at st. Luke's Hospital in New York
City, the Associated Press reported.
He retired this year as chaplain
of the Convent of St. Anne, Prot
estant Episcopal institution at
Kingston, N. Y, and had been liv-
ing at Stamford, Conn. He has
served at Trinity Episcopal Church
at Clayton, Del; St. Andrews
Church, Stamford; St. Marks
Church, Philadelphia: Church of ST.

City, and curate of st. James
Church, Long Beach, N. Y.
Evening star., 1942-11-21

In the reconstruction that followed
he turned to politics and, when
responsible government was granted
to the Orange River Colony, became
attorney general and minister of
education.
Immediately he pursued a policy
of placing Dutch and English side
by side as the mediums of education
with such determination that he
became reputed throughout South
Africa as an anti British racialist.
In 1910 the Union of South
Africa came into existence with Gen.
Botha as the first Prime Minister
and Hertzog, who could not be over
looked because of his strong Dutch
backing, as minister of justice.
With him or without him the
cabinet could find no peace, but in
1912, after a reshuff1e by which
Hertzog became minister of native
affairs as we'll as of justice, Botha
resigned and formed new cabinet
without Hertzog.
Formed New Party.
Undaunted, Hertzog went out into
the field to preach his gospel of
South Africa first" formed the
new national party, and even led a
mission to the peace conference at
Versailles to present a case for the
restoration of the Transvaal and
Orange Free State as republics.
Gen. SHUTS became Prime Min
lister when Botha died, but in June,
1924, his government was defeated
ana Hertzog, II years after he had
ben forced from the Botha cabinet,
took up the reins.
