Brazil People
Promised Vote
President Promises
Election in 80 Dogs

RIO DE JANEIRO, March l
(P)- President Getulio Var
gas promised the Brazilian peo-
pie today that he would fix
within 90 days the date for the
first general election this coun-
try has known since 1880.
The promise was embodied In
decree modifying the consti-
tuition which he established in
1887 by restoring to the people
the right Of direct suffrage in
the election Of the President.
Governors of states. Parliament
and State Legislative assem-
blies.
Vargas gave no indication of
the probable date of the cleo
ton. but in recent public utter
ances he has expressed belief
that none should be held until
IN, end Of the European war, in
which Brazil is taking an active
part.
The Presidents action revok-
ed in whole or in part 10 arti-
Giles of the 1887 Constitution,
against which a large segment
Of the Brazilian press has been
agi.-ting recently on the
ground it was nodded on the
authoritarian European pattern.
The new law provides that
the President chosen at the
forthcoming elections shall take
office within 60 days after the
results are determined-thereby
in effect fixing a date for the
termination Of President Var
gas present indefinite term.
Vargas became chief Of the
Government on Nov. 3, 1880,
after a military uprising which
forced the resignation of Presi-
dent Washington Luis Pereira
de Souza and prevented the in
stallation of DR.. Julio Prestes,
who had been elected the prev
ious March.
