Brazil Under
State Of Siege

RIO DE JANEIRo, Brazil
Nov. 26 R.-Brazil was under 8
state of siege - modified marital
law - today, strengthening the
position of the army-backed pro.
Ivisional government.
A decree declaring the state oi
siege. approved by Congress and
signed by provisional President
Nereu Ramos. became effective
upon publication in the govern
ment's official bulletin last night
Mr.. Ramos was expected to mama
an executor today for operation
'of the decree.
The new status suspends for 80
days constitutional guarantees
as they affect the acts OF the
president. the cabinet, the execu-
tor. and congress. It's main pur-
pose Is to prevent the supreme
court from reinstating Joao Cafe
cliilo hS pTeSlQenG.
Mr.. Cafe took a leave of abb
sence November 8 after a slight
heart attack. When he sought to
resume power he was opposed
by a majority in Congress and
powerful army leaders headed
by War Minister Gen. Henriuue
Teizeira Lott. They suspected
him Of being connected with an
alleged plot to prevent the in
auguration January 81 of Presi-
dent-elect Juscelino Kubitschek,
political heir to the late Presi-
dent Getulio Vargas.
Congress extended Mr.. Cafes
disability" indefinitely, and he
has been under virtual house
arrest. He appealed to the
Supreme Court, which made no
ruling. The state Of siege now
exempts the government from
abiding by any injunction the
court might issue.

Transit Poll?

There has been much debate
about whether to continue or
to abolish the use Of streetcars.
To me it seems only fair and
lust that the people using the
public transit system and
thereby paying for its con-
tinuation and maintenance
should be accorded a voice in
the matter. The consensus is.
/ believe, to retain streetcars
for their speed. efficiency. COM

to signalize the 200th ami
versary of Alexander Hamil-
tons birth. The commission.
Mr.. Hunt states. win organize
and conduct q search for let
tiers. ETC.. relating to Hamil-
tons life.
I have written a number
of articles, biographies, etc..
for historical societies and
daily publications on the War
for American Independence.
Now after six years work. in
which / am still actively en-
gagged. I have accumulated
1850 official writings Of Wash
ington's staff in the war years.
from June 20, 1775, to March
80, 1888. This work has taken
me into many institutions and
worldwide correspondence
with possible foreign sources.
1t Is q work that viii throw
light on heretofore dark spots
of this war.
Alexander Hamilton was
captain OF a battery Of New
York provincial artillery with
Washington on the retreat
through New Jersey at the end
of I7T6 after the disastrous
battles around New York; a
terrible march. over which
Washington openly wept.
Hamilton was promoted to
lieutenant colonel on becom-
ing an aide-de-camp to Gen.
Washington. He held this Of
fee from March /, 1777. until
February 16. 1881. when he re-
signed. In addition to writ
ing many Of Washington's
official letters. which WASH
ington signed. he wrote many
By Washington's orders over
his own signature.
There are many published
writings Of Hamilton after
the end Of the war, but very
few during the time he was
an aide to Washington. His
biographies and his written
letters. as published, contain
about 10 letters Of this period
In his life. Ny search has In
cluded transcripts taken from
original manuscripts, not only
the 10 here mentioned. but
100 additional transcripts dur
ing Hamilton's time as aide
de-canp over his own sigma
ture.
! am thoroughly familiar
with the subject Of the official
writings Of Washington's
headquarters staff, therefore
] venture to state that very
few. II any. Of these 100 letters
have been published.

The fact that Washington

definite voice In selecting the
standard bearers of both major
parties, even though we viii
not vote for the presidency it
self, is attracting considerable
attention. This Is as close as
most Washingtonians have
been to exercising the rights
Of citizenship. and the oppor-
tunity is not being neglected.
Furthermore. there Is q
sitting Of fundamentals for
guidance In selecting party
affiliations. Though it seems
contrary to modern sophisti-
cal thinking to ask directly
What is q Republican," or
What is a Democrat2" (peo-
pie don't ask STRAIGHTFORWARD

Discrimination

There are many wonderful
things that every American
has to be thankful for, not just
once a year. but every day.
But many Of US accept these
blessings as If they were our
just due. without truly realiz-
ing the sacrifices that made
them q reality The time for
sacrifices is not over now. In
deed, today more than ever we
should be aware of the herit-
age we have to safeguard for
future generations. We can
only pass it on to them un-
sullied and even brighter If
we are willing to sacrifice some
Of our petty higotries and
prejudices. Every one Of US
can share in this task. not just
our statesmen.
Today. our industries are
facing q terrible shortage Of
engineers and scientists be-
cause ugly prejudice has shut
the doors to certain religions,
races and creeds. This Is a
shameful waste of manpower.
Now with Russia's threat ever
more menacing, and the boasts
that their scientific and en-
cheering achievements will
surpass Americas in the next
ten years, every one Of us
should realize that only by be-
ing truly united can we pros
per. Being united means that
we win open our school doors
and higher institutions Of
learning to those who have the
ability to become what Amer
lea needs, regardless Of race.
creed or religion.
If all men are created equal,
surely they should be given
equal opportunity to learn.
The repayment we shall all
garner win be given back a
thousandfold II this great ideal
shall come to fruition. It can.
If enough people win fight for
this right that Is due their
